My threapist told me I may be crossing into other dimensions?

Question

I have a problem with fatigue and sleeping too much. Been tested for everything but still no answers.

My therapist told me to pick up a book on string theory, and my lucid dreaming could be a sign I am possibly crossing into another dimension. She asked if i thought this might be possible...

Do you think she was just testing me, or do you think I need to get a new therapist? Otherwise shes very nice...

As a fan of your Answers, I took the time to look this up as best as I could. Not an Answer, but hopefully helpful, anyways. It's okay to be tired just cause you're a mom, too!


ATTENTION SEE BOTTOM NOTE

The basic idea behind all string theories is that the fundamental constituents of reality are strings of extremely small size (possibly of the order of the Planck length, about 10−35 m) which vibrate at specific resonant frequencies.[2] Thus, any particle should be thought of as a tiny vibrating object, rather than as a point. This object can vibrate in different modes (just as a guitar string can produce different notes), with every mode appearing as a different particle (electron, photon, etc.). Strings can split and combine, which would appear as particles emitting and absorbing other particles, presumably giving rise to the known interactions between particles.

Lucid dreaming (lucid from Latin, lux "light") is the conscious perception of one's state while dreaming, resulting in a much clearer experience and sometimes enabling direct control over the content of the dream, a realistic world that is to some degree in the control of the dreamer.[1] The complete experience from start to finish is called a lucid dream. Stephen LaBerge, a popular author and experimenter on the subject, has defined it as "dreaming while knowing that you are dreaming."[2]

LaBerge and his associates have called people who purposely explore the possibilities of lucid dreaming oneironauts (literally from the Greek ονειροναύτες, meaning "dream sailors").

The validity of lucid dreaming as a scientifically verified phenomenon is well-established.[3][4] Researchers such as Allan Hobson with his neurophysiological approach to dreaming have helped to push the understanding of lucid dreaming into a less speculative realm.

>>>written in a blog!!!>>>"The Elegant Universe is an incredible book written by Brian Greene, I highly suggest that anyone interested in how the universe works read it.
The bulk of the material covers String Theory which is a very popular theory right now in theorectical physics which hopes to explain why things are they way they are (ie. why do subatomic particles have the specific weights that they do?). The book also beautifully explains Eintein's theories of special and general relativity in a way that makes them much easier to understand.
However the book also spends time discussing the "Theory of Everything", a unified field theory that ties together the gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear and weak nuclear forces. Einstein himself worked tirelessly on acheiving a unified field theory before his death but was ultimately unsuccessful. String appears to be leading us in the right direction of a unified field theory, but it may only be part of a larger whole.

You can actually watch "The Elegant Universe" online right here, legally and everything:

ATTENTION: AS SOON AS I LOOKED UP STRING THEORY/LUCID DREAMING, A BUNCH OF REALLY *WACKO* SITES STARTED POPPING UP, LIK ULTRA-FUNDIE CRAP. GET A NEW THERAPIST!!!

Answer 2

Finally a relatively fascinating query. I am no mathematician however I appreciate that a few theories postulate 12 dimensions. that might supply us no less than three parallel cosmoses. According to my information of the speculation (that's surely imperfect) This signifies that what we see as gentle is power from the opposite cosmoses that's aspect of topic in the ones cosmoses. Matter being gentle relocating in dimensions wrapped round a geometrical factor. Our dimensions might be wrapped round a geometrical factor within the different cosmoses. Where they have got topic (in a few absolute role) we see gentle and in which now we have topic they have got gentle. I labored in this a while in the past (whilst I was once more youthful) till my mind harm and now can best keep in mind very imperfectly the conclusions. For that rationale most likely this appears just like the rant or an insane guy. If any person might devise a method to cross their organizational advantage from any such cosmos to a different the genuine power standards probably certainly small. This of direction is in direct competition to the theories of the supercollider however we have to begin someplace. Another spin off of this capacity if it have been to exist might be intergalactic journey utilizing not more power that a mosquito touchdown to your dermis. What a laugh that might be.

Answer 3

I had a therapist that said the same thing to me and I quit therapy then concentrated on seeing if I could find a physical reason for my problems. Like you, it's NOT depression. I am not sad, not negative, just tired and sleeping more than others.

I've had the need or 8 to 10 hours sleep before. When I was in law school, I needed about 10 hrs. sleep at night or I work up just as tired as I went to bed. The psychologist that I saw then said that stress makes my body need extra sleep and not to sweat it. "8 hours" is considered normal for humans but some get by on far less and there are other people, just as normal, who need. more.

My current medical doctor refused to test my adrenals and says there's no sign they're not working right so why test but I suspect it's tied to that. My thyroid tested out normal but in the low range. Have you had your blood sugar checked?

Answer 4

She may be nice. But I doubt that she was testing you. Your gut reaction is correct. You need to get a new therapist, because her advice is not going to help you.

As to fatigue and sleeping too much...If you haven't done so then get a complete physical to rule out any biological reasons like an inactive thyroid, a defective heart valve, and the like.

Once all of that is ruled out then get yourself to a sleep clinic to see about getting a full workup done. You could be suffering from sleep apnea, a condition that would prevent you from getting a restful night's worth of sleep.

If that's not found to be your problem, the sleep technicians along with a therapist will look at your lifestyle in a holistic fashion. They'll get you on a nutritional diet, ramp up your exercise, and control your caffeine and alcohol intake. On top of that they'll work at perfecting your sleep hygiene. Good sleep hygiene is the rituals performed before and after going to bed. They make up some key components to ensure that you get a restful night's sleep and you don't find yourself dosing off unexpectedly during the day.

Good luck in find a solution to your problem.

Answer 5

Food allergies can cause this. You may not react normally on an allergy test, but it could still be the cause.
Wheat gluten, iron, chlorine, sugar, preservatives in food, dyes, chemicals. The list is endless.
I don't know why you need a therapist for this. They seem to think it is all in your mind?
I think your therapist is getting kind of out there. I wouldn't worry too much about her theories unless she starts scaring you. If you like her, and if otherwise you think she is helping, stick with her.
I think you need to start eliminating food and chemical sources to see if that would help.

Answer 6

String theory is part of physics.

Are you going to a physicist or a therapist?
Do you want to be a physicist?

If I had a therapist who told ne the answer to my problem was in string theory I would think they didn't know what the heck they were talking about, or they were being a smart aleck.

Either way I would look for another therapist IMMEDIATELY.

Just my opinion.

Answer 7

Whether or not her theories are correct in some way, it is unethical for her to push her views on you. Is she a licensed therapist?? This is a scary thought.

Lucid dreaming has nothing to do with crossing into another dimension. Is it possible that you are having OBEs? In any case, here are a few groups that have people that might be able to help.

Answer 8

seriously, get a new therapist. there are plenty of great ones in there. ya.. definatly find someone who helps you with any problems or whatever you have. lucid dreaming has nothing to do with anything supernatural things, or crossing into other demensions..

Answer 9

I would stick with her. She may be right on the money. If it yields no positive results, change therapists. Remember that you hired her, and not the reverse. @8-)

Answer 10

um dude, i think your therapist needs therapy, kinda like the geico caveman
