Psychology - July 2007

It was a nightmare, and it was lucid. I lying in bed in my dream and this figure clad in black was pulling on my arm trying to pull me out of bed. I felt I would die if this thing got me. All the while, i knew i was dreaming and i felt I had to wake myself up before I died. i was making muffled screams. then out of no where, I glanced at my cell phone and a number came up. After i managed to wake myself up, I programmed the number i saw into my phone. I do not know it, but it is operable and it belongs to a woman whom I do not know. WHAT do you make of this dream? Is this number one I should know, OR will know in the future? Plz help I am worried+confused, etc.

Additional Details

I have had similar dreams of something pulling on me, always trying to take me.

could this be about something that happened in the past but I am unaware of on a conscious level?

I am 13 years old, and going to high school next year as a freshman. My life is going good...but this summer, especially these few weeks, are going relatively bad. I can't fall asleep at night because my mind is always racing with thoughts and I can't seem to clear it and relax and fall asleep. Every day, I have to cry about something, whether it's because my haircut looks horrible, or because I feel as though I'm wasting my time doing nothing. I know I'm supposed to relax this summer, but I can't! I feel as though every day is going by wasted, and I also feel stressed about everything, including my haircut and how I'm starting a new school this fall. What should I do? I feel like my whole life is just falling apart!

I was physically abused until the age of 9
I got into a fight with my little brother every day of my life until i was in high school
In elementary school and middle school i used to get picked on every day when i moved to the ghetto area of NYC not until high school i would start the fights with other students
I lived with my step father who was on drugs until the age of 18
I stay mad at the person for months even years
Certain people trigger a emotion in me where i want to walk up and punch that person in their face
If someone insult me or raised their voice at me i want to assault them. It stays in my mind for the entire day or months.

Psychologist is out of the question (please dont ask why)
PLEASE HELP ME.

Hello,

I work in a welfare to work program. Sometimes I get chewed out by these participants and I really get angry too because it's not like I don't care about them. But after one encounter, I thought I can be more patient. The people I typically get angry with the most are those who you can't communicate with because they're very unwilling to listen to any kind of reason and even after explaining they want to talk to someone else. It was like whatever I was saying did not get through to her one bit and I got real frustrated. Any tips?

How did you get out of that rut?

ever since I can remember I have had trouble being alone, I've asked my family if they knew why but they just said, "you've always been that way" - I always seem to do fine when I'm with people. I'm very people oriented, and I get energy from people. But since my wife died over a year ago I've been alone most of the time, since I've been on disability and I am still not cleared to work. Essentially I just get restless. I don't have any trouble when I 'm out with people, no anxiety anything. I'm assuming a lot of it is post-trauma and all from my past sometime. I've been seeing a Psychologist since November, and I've shared things with him, and essentially he has no idea about most of the things I've shared, pretty much beyond his scope, but I like him and he's good. Makes little sense to me.

I read the Betrayal Bond - and it said that this is common in trauma victims, nearly everything in the book was true of me. I seemed to have many similar issues. thanks.

Why or why not?

I do, so I'm wondering if everyone feels this way. I also know that my potential has been clouded by my lack of self worth (previously.)
Either way, I believe that humility with knowledge is a very attractrive combination, so I try not to show off what I "think" I know.

Have a lovely day :)

I heard laws are being decided upon whether the government will start tracking down peoples computers, the locations they're hooked up at online, to tell where everyone is located at? When will this officially begin? I'll bet it's already been happening.

I am terrified to die while my children are so young (2 and 6 months) I am afraid that my husband won't be able to take care of them, I am afraid that they will have a screwed up life, and that my wishes for them won't happen- be happy, protected, loved, secure. I keep being asked to go on mini trips (day trips to wonderland and such) and i keep turning them down because I am scared that I will die on the way and never see my kids again. Is there anything that I can do to get over this???? I am only 25, but was in a really bad car accident when i was 17.

My friend talks to me regularly, but I don't feel much warmth in our conversations. Even when we talk about emotionally charged topics, she takes a removed, intellectual approach towards them. This is something I've always appreciated, but lately I'm sick of it. I've tried telling her I wish she was more personal, but all that's done has gotten her to talk more about herself without regard for what I say. She rarely asks me questions about myself or what I'm up to. I just don't feel encouraged. Other friends tell me I should be the "bigger" person and treat her the way I want to be treated...but I can only take so much. This person is supposed to be a good friend...and we do talk a lot...but our friendship is "emotionally lacking." When is it time to settle and when is it time to hit the road? I'm usually the one initiating new topics of conversation and even inviting her to spend time together. I don't feel like I'm getting a fair deal...this is supposed to be a FRIENDSHIP.

How will this change your lives direction? What different goals will you have now? If this was real, how would you handle it knowing you could now literally live as long as you want.

All I hear about these days is that certain hormones and genes control everything from our moods to our likelihood of murdering someone or cheating on our spouse. In light of this new evidence I can't help but wonder: does free will actually exist or are we slaves to our mental states?

Everyday life is hard for everyone, we all have different issues to deal with, mine are late bills, landlord calling for late rent, a mother who has a couple of months to live, a father who is stressed out and tired, a preg. daughter who is trying her hardest to take care of things while Im at work feeling like a piece of sh@#$ for not being there. The guilt of trying to make everyone less stressed in life is making my own life a hell. My husband and I spend not time together with his fulltime job and then his side work on weekends. Then when we do see eachother we are to tired and once again I feel guilty.I know Im kinda babbling and feeling sorry for myself. What do you do to ease lifes troubles. Let me know if you have a similar life and what you do to not go crazy! Thanks in advance for any info!
