The dreams just consist of us talking to one another. He was my world when I was young. I haven't dreamt about him in years & I am wondering if this has any meaning to it? I would like to hear your thoughts....

I ask this Q bec I saw this answer picked as a Best Answer:
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
I have a notion that every person lives in his or her "own little world".
Every individual interacts with & perceives the world differently; and therefore, every individual would define "the world" differently. We carry this microcosm with us--imagine that each individual is surrounded by a large "bubble" that contains his miniature reality. When people are close to us, their bubble overlaps ours. Their sense of "the real" is most similar to ours.

By my way of thinking, therefore, it is not possible for anyone to "truly", or *universally* exist. If I don't know Tom, Tom does not, in my world, exist. True, he exists in *his* world, but that is irrelevant to me.
So, no, it is not necessary to be perceived. The invisible person would still exist,but only in his own cognizance.

I was on mild anti depressents Zoloft & 0.5 mg Alparazolam SOS panic, for 3 years to cure lack of cheerfulness.Dont know how much that helped but I gradually reduced and stopped taking three weeks ago. Instaed I switched to a Homeopathic medicine and am feeeling no problem except severe dreams. The dreams are so life like, sequenced with logical stories that make a compelete story. The contents are relevent with real people playing real role. Sometimes after getting up I am really confused try to recall if I really had such incidents in my life. I remember them longer.One thing is common though and that is that Its to do with a friendship or love. In real life I am very lonely at heart as cud'nt get a friend /partnet that give me any emotional support. After such dreams, if positive, I feel so contented even and temporarily restful. & oif otherwise exhasted.(Once I even had a movie like murder mystry story that ended with logical resolve).

Now taht i've experienced love first hand i know what it feels like. Its almost getting to be a long lost addiction from my previouse, and last, relationship. But what gets me is why it feels so good. What i like to say about love is: "the reason we crave it is because it's the closest thing we have to magic." But i know thats not it, i just say that so i can have an answer for myself.... but somehow i know its true.

My BF's son has had emotional and behavioral problems his whole life, he is now 13. He also reads and writes at about a 2nd grade level, but BF now insists he does not have a learning disability, he is just VERY lazy.He has recently begun seeing a psychiatrist. The problem is, as he done with about 8 other therapists, is that he sits there and refuses to talk. He answers"I don't know" to everything, or just looks out the window.They have tried a few different antidepressants, so far he hasnt really responded to any of them very much, but then he lies about having taken his medicine. Yes I realize his mother should make sure he takes it but she is at the end of her rope with him.He also gorges himself with food, and is double his ideal weight.He locks himself in his bedroom and eats 5000 calories at once!! I am scared to have him come to our house, he also has a history of physical aggression.If I ask BF whats going on, I am looking for trouble, if I dont ask I'm not showing interest.

My friend has lately been playing mind games with me for a while now, deliberately with the intention of of making me paranoid by mis-use of trust & confidentallity i thought we had , even recruiting a few friends we have made locally into his somewhat obvious plans.The thing is he denies this by using a past mental health problem i had as his get out of jail free card & his licsence to carry on doin it. Ive tried to talk about it but smirks & insists im paranoid, no reasurance! .We both know he & his recruits are doing it but he can never admit it as its cruell and mentally abusive considering my mental health 3/4 yrs ago & isnt what any good person or "good friend" would ever do. blatantly it is bullying and very unfriendly for them to pursue leading me to ask why are they my friends if they are trying to cause me to lose my mind?
How do i resolve this before i inevetibly lose control and hurt someone?

How do I prevent myself from catching feelings with the guys I date? I almost can't help it seems! Even when I don't even really like the guy, I grow feelings fast!!! I care way too much. How do I learn to care about myself more, become more selfish in a sense...if you will. How do I just NOT CARE for them and have complete disregard, unattachment to the men I date? I get hooked really fast, so I'm very vulnerable to catching feelings. I have this mad maternal instinct or something? lol Help! What can I do? Any suggestions? Thanks!

I would like to live out a rape fantasy. I don't know why I have this need to be dominated and hurt. I wonder is this a healthy thing to do. I have found a partner willing to do it but I wonder if I will be traumatized by the experience. It makes me wonder if porn actresses are traumatized when they are gang raped or choked. I don't know why I want this. I would appreciate it if I could get some honest and educated answers please.

- person constantly frets and worries about whether or not they are normal

- person often daydreams to the point where it distracts them from doing other things

- person does not have enough interests[hobbies]

- person fears relationships because they are afraid that person will leave them and they are not good enough

-- person procrastinates severely partly due to the amount of time they spend daydreaming of other things

-person often gets very nervous in public and thinks about each conversation they have and think about what they did wrong and things they should have said.

This guy adores me for about 1 1/2 years. We went to the same college---we always ran into each other. After notices he likes me---I began to like him too, but we did not talk because we both shy and intimidated by each others.

Before my graduation I told the guy---I am leaving. (That was the first time I talked to him after 1 1/2 years) He was totally in shock, but he told me good luck.

I was very depressed, sad, and miss him a lot. I tried to search for him. Luckily, I found his myspace. I read his stuffs on his my space. He wrote journeys about us. He wrote an amazing poem---he claims he loves me. Although he does not know where I was or what to do, but he will wait for me...

I think it is amazing how we tried to hide our feelings in front of each other, but the facts is we are in love and care about each other a lot...

What do you think of this? Are we in love?

P.S. It has been three years and we have gone to good and bad.
