When you analyse your own dreams in order to see the reflection of your psychical condition and of your entire life, you enter into contact with the wise unconscious mind - the mind that produces your dreams and regulates the functioning of your body. The unconscious is perfect and knows everything about you, your past, your traumas, plans, dreams, and your future.

You are going to be guided in your dreams and learn how to develop your intelligence. This is an experience completely different from the experience of going to a psychotherapist, but it has the same or even better results, because your doctor is the wise unconscious mind whose wisdom is beyond any doubt. This is the part of the human psyche which is responsible for the existence of religiosity, as well as artistic and philosophical manifestations.

Dream therapy is the most inexpensive existing psychotherapy - you only need a guide in order to learn how to interpret your dreams according to the absolutely unique and correct scientific method for life.

Having in hand this guide, you'll be in contact with the wise unconscious mind that produces your dreams, which will not only help you in every way, but will answer all your questions. The fantastic communication that you can have with this part of your psyche is a comfort that you have never imagined before!

The unconscious mind is saintly and speaks like an angel. When you ask it if you will succeed in your plans, for example, the unconscious will tell you, through a personalisation in your dream, that you must forgive sinners.

What does it mean? It means that you'll have many obstacles, provoked by your enemies.

Or, you may receive a pleasant answer when you ask this question; seeing bright sunlight in your dream, for example, represents the light of truth.

You'll be immensely helped by this knowledge! A common psychologist cannot give you this guidance.

You will only gain advantages using this method of psychotherapy, instead of trusting a common, ignorant human psychologist, who may have the good intention to help you, but will not be able to.

The guarantee that the scientific method of dream interpretation can give you, cannot be given by any other method of therapy, since this method enlightens your mind, develops your intelligence, and makes you wiser.

When you examine your dream messages you never have frustrations, you never feel you are wasting your time, and you never become confused and feeling worse than before. This is a safe method that can only give you peace of mind and health, without the risks of methods based on human ignorance.

But seeing other people in your dreams can have another meaning, a very objective one, because your dreams are connected with reality and they try to help you overcome your problems.

If you are in love with someone and this person brings you many problems, the unconscious gives you information about them in your dreams. In this case, you must interpret their appearance objectively and not with the symbolic meaning of parts of your own personality, even though they also bear this meaning, but the important point here is to understand that the dreams give you serious information about the reality you ignore in order to protect you from craziness.

A dearest friend who worked with me for a year used to see repeated dreams about the young man she loved, because he treated her very badly. Several dreams every day about the same person were giving her information about his character and about her own character. She was suffering very much in this relationship, but she could not see the reality as it was because she belonged to a psychological type based on feelings, and she was not able to think objectively about reality when it was in opposition to her feelings.

Another friend had a series of dreams about his wife, who abandoned him and their son, who was only 7 years old at the time. Everyday, he would see some dream or many dreams about his wife, how he met her, why they got married, everything related to her and her behavior, as well as everything related to his own behavior since he met her.

The unconscious is really a doctor that cures each one of us with the real knowledge about reality and about our own mistakes. Through dream interpretation, we can clearly see that we are the first ones we shall blame for our suffering because we make many mistakes by behaving according our psychological type. We don’t care about other points and other conceptions of reality. We don’t want to learn how other people interpret the same reality, and we never develop all the capacities we have with this negative attitude, because we have to accept to be different in order to learn a completely different conception of the same reality we are used to judge in our own way.

So, if you have a serious problem with someone, or if you are in love with someone and you don’t know how you shall behave, the wise and saintly unconscious will orient you through your own dreams. You only need to learn the symbolic language in order to interpret its messages.

Remember though, that other people in your dreams are parts of your own personality, even though the unconscious gives you such clear information about the person you care the most.

Bear in mind also that your dreams try to show you what is going to happen in the future a long time before any problem starts to appear in your life. You have to care about dream interpretation though, in order to avoid the mistakes you would make without this help.

The dream is always preparing the dreamer to deal with the problems of his daily life or the problems provoked by the invasion of craziness in his human conscience. So, the prevision is part of the dream’s structure. It has to show to the dreamer what is going to happen in the future if he won’t do anything to change his behaviour and will only repeat the mistakes of his psychological type. Each psychological type follows specific behavioural rules, according to the psychological function that is more developed in their psychic sphere.

The meaning of each premonition is always to avoid the bad result.

Many people believe that we cannot change our destiny, even if we can predict it. This belief is very ancient and was part of the Greek mythology. However, in the Old Testament we have many examples of salvations that could be done thanks to dream messages that some talented creatures could interpret.

You’ll see in practice how you can change your life if you change your behavior, thanks to the orientation given to you by the dreams’ messages. This way you’ll be able to avoid your suffering for repeating the same mistakes that everyone that belongs to your psychological type repeats for years and years, without understanding that they are only falling in the same old rut because they don’t care about learning who they really are.

 Well- they're within control, but it's hard to manage a situations when those that need managing refuse to heed good intentions and best-laid plans.

So USUALLY this is when I write a Music blog, but as I am listening to Iron Maiden, I can't just very well write about them AGAIN. I mean, I could... but that could just bore everyone into disappearing.  let's just avoid that from happening, okies?

So! Other than that Sitch-a-mation, I will try and think about other things.

Like the fact that I WENT CAMPING! It was a short trip, only a couple of days, and was local- Coyote Lake. I will have to say, it could have been a LOT WORSE than it was. More people were invited than two sites could accomodate, the person that booked the sites neglected to recognize that they were RV sites and we were tent-camping,  and had picked partial-shade sites... Partial Shade in TEN YEARS, as the trees in the area were just planted.  Not to mention a Lake that no one could swim in.

However, as stated, I had an okay time. The fact that I had this-

-Made it quite bearable. He was a really good boy- no squabbles, no problems! The first night with him in a tent was a struggle, 'cause he coudn't find the perfect place to sleep, so he kept moving. But the next night- after a day of walks and running and swimming (as pictured here!) he was a tired little man and slept like a rock. I fussed over him and fed him and took care of him. He was simply amazing.

On the way back from Camping, I got a call from the Optometrist- my glasses were in.

I used my Surplus check to purchase a new pair of glasses since my precription had changed... my eyes are apparently getting worse. It's pretty bad as is- I'm not legal to drive with out corrective lenses- but it is kind of scary that my eyes are still deteriorating. Nevertheless... I got some pretty neat frames- they are Converse frames with Starsa on the  stems, and I feel so sophisticated! lemme show you.

So, I'll very well possibly be sporting my specs more often. The Camping trip with contacts was just a major pain- has always been. I do LOVE having contacts, though- so I'll probably just be regularly swaping from glasses to lenses more often... neato-beeto.

And Lastly- the SUMMER MEGAPARTY has Begun! I'm really excited about Matty writing more- a whole two and a half months of DAILY pieces. Sooo cool! Today he wrote about Otter Pops! Yummie.

 However... WaiterBot showed up in a couple of the pictures.

Which means...

*gulp*

Box 23 is alive and afoot.

 Not COOL.

 I mean, it's cool, but it's just that...well, As interesting and brain-wracking Box 23 projects are, they scare me really bad too. I can't explain why. Maybe it's the way its presented- as sneaking around and deciphering thigs that are "meant" to be hidden. Like... it's just better to leave it alone, than to dig too deep. It could just be me- If I start something like this- I get too deep-I get obsessed- and my brain goes to hell in a handbasket. I tell ya I was drawing Hssxlllo all over the place last Christmas... and last Easter considering there was a small amount of Box 23 action around then too.

Anyway...

This is hwta I have for now. I'll hopefully have some more interesting writtings to entertain you with in the next blogie post, but for right now, I'm in crap up to mk knees and need to pull my waders up a little higher. than usual.

so let's examine:

this week i lost my job. the owner of the satan worshiping business said  it's survival mode time - and he can't afford  paying me. the majority of my design work focuses around retail. the past few weeks were obviously slow and i had a sinking feeling of defeat. i had been on the clock the least.. so call me the sacrificial lamb. i wasn't offended because if i were a business owner watching my revenue disappear.. i'd do the same. my department racked up the most bills. designers don't come cheap vs counter/cash register help & highly advance technical equipment need  servicing. so - i wasn't shocked at the loss, because i was reassured it had nothing to do with performance. fair warning or notice was all i needed and didn't receive. i've licked my bitter wounds, and trudged on.

round two: boyfriend. i have a good looking, macho, stubborn, smart man in my life. we kinda live together although i have been unable to admit it to myself. we argue quite a bit, over who's ruling is the best - and who's ego needs to be highlighted. it sucks when both relationshipers are dominant. i want to be submissive, but in the face of dominance.. i position myself to pounce. unfortunately, my pounce is not quite graceful. i spend my time pushing buttons. huffing and puffing to let him know i can stand my ground. along with loosing my job last week - i was sick with a stinky cold. each evening he came home after working 10 hours, and politely made dinner. he cuddled with me, and made sure my tummy was full. little things of love i get. he's bashful and thoughtful. on the same end, he's cranky, frustrated and mouthy. i'm at my stubborn, selfish stage where i have befriended loneliness and feels it has been the most dependable partner. yesterday i felt trapped. we sat around, and i just felt trapped. all of a sudden, i wanted to start an argument. i wanted him to get mad and say it was over. this went on for most of the day. go figure - i feel better so i start fighting with the poor guy. our day passes, and i realized i was being a jerk. today - i started feeling the same way, so i decided to talk to him about it. it's hard telling someone you love about relationship freak outs - so i tried to choose my words carefully. i explained to him my worries in being a good girlfriend - and being able to provide that "forever" part since it blew up in my face before. i told him i felt a little boxed in because we lived together, and maybe it was too soon, and bla bla bla. he just smiled and listened. no feedback. although i wonder what type of feedback i wanted. so plan b - cause a break up. i took of the pc while he was on it - he cursed..i waved my hand with an "NO ONE WILL EVER EVER TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!" i asked him to pack his stuff and leave. he said no. i got up and went for a drive. he went to sleep. i sat by him explaining in great pity, we were over. i told him it wasn't working and he needed to move on. so he got up - and started packing. i started crying! o no! don't leave me! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?? i rolled onto my stomach, and sulked. he jumped on top of me to apologize..and lovingly told me to go hang with my spammy so i could get a break and cool down. what's wrong with me?? am i scared he'll fail me..or i'll fail him? we ended up going to a movie, and during the show..i kept staring at his beautiful eyes examining the screen. how handsome he was in the projector's lighting. i had to touch him and hold his hand. it felt great. i asked spammy (who sat on my other side) if i was as stubborn as him .. she said yes. i've stepped into hardcore dominance for no apparent reason. in an old book called She, i learned to leave my nurturing light on for my hunter. somehow it stopped - i took the light off.

he's sleeping now. it's about 130 am..and his ship (literally) sails away tomorrow. i can't help feeling sad because his heart will be away from mine. i wont have anyone to snap at - get made - put up with his attitude - constantly pick at his cursing. i miss him already.

**so that's my life right now. panic attacks over hoping someone will hire me in order to claim my rightful high of the pheonix. and i'll come to a center point within myself to understand he loves me. all my flaws - he loves me. and i love him.

In your dreams, the unconscious gives you directions, warnings and psychotherapy. You need them, because insanity is inherent in the anti-conscience that constantly tries to destroy your human side. While you are sleeping, you can be in contact with the unconscious that works like a doctor in your psyche and sends you dreams in order to provide you the guidance you need.

Dream interpretation must be a daily activity for you, in the same way that you do several other things every day, because it only helps. However, this will help you even if you don’t write your dreams down regularly or even if you only care for your dreams when you have problems.

Your dreams belong to you; they talk about your life.

Dreams inform and help you in several ways, especially because you are not as rational as you imagine and because even your logic is absurd.

Perhaps you have to develop your feelings; perhaps you must learn to be realistic. The unconscious knows exactly what you need to understand and what has to be corrected in your behavior, so that you’ll be always calm, wise and happy with yourself.

These messages are symbolic in nature because your anti-conscience shall not learn what the unconscious reveals to your human side, otherwise it would distort these messages and you would not have any protection against the anti-conscience.

There is a primitive awareness inside you that is not human but evil. Existence is a difficult matter and this was inevitable. Life is a big challenge! With all the problems and the disappointments that the conscience had to face, it became nervous and violent; this is why it resulted in a monster.

You must learn how to interpret your dreams in order to protect your human conscience from the craziness that already exists in your psyche.

After this basic point, the unconscious is going to help you solve all the problems of your life. You’ll always have a doctor and counsellor that will protect and guide you at your disposition, so that you’ll follow the light of truth instead of walking in the darkness of your ignorance.

I didn't accept this contradiction, observing that the human conscience is totally absurd, since it works based on only one completely developed psychological function and based on the selfish and childish ego’s desires. Craziness existed in the human conscience, and not in the unconscious that produces dreams and sends us wise messages to cure our psyche.

I trusted completely the unconscious’ wisdom, understanding that the same wise brain that produces dreams also prepares the several programs that allow the perfect functioning of all the animal and plant species on our planet, as several biologists besides Konrad Lorenz had proved with their research.

This way I faced schizophrenia by obeying the directions I received in dreams and signs I interpreted in my daily reality in the same way that I interpreted dreams. I clearly saw that the wild conscience provokes schizophrenia, psychosis, hysteria and neurosis in the human conscience and that all these diseases reflect the same process: the invasion of the wild, evil and violent content, which belongs to the wild part of the human conscience, into the human side of the human conscience.

Neurosis and hysteria reflect the first steps of the wild conscience’s invasion into the human realm. Neurotic and hysteric patients can easily be cured through dream analysis if they precisely obey the directions they receive in their dreams.

The same doesn’t happen for psychotic and schizophrenic patients, who have completely lost their human conscience and are totally dominated by the wild anti-conscience that has destroyed their human side.

What does this destruction mean? It means that there is no sensitivity in their psychic sphere: they are dominated by the monster inherent in the wild side of their conscience.

The anti-conscience is a wild animal, a demon created by the disorganized development of the conscience in its formation. However, it is not a fossil, it is alive and active in our psychic sphere, trying to control our behaviour all the time. 

The human being has to dominate this wild side, before it has the chance to destroy one’s human conscience. This is why dream analysis is indispensable for everyone from the first days of their adolescence.

By analysing their dreams, everyone will be able to develop all their psychological functions and fight the domination of the wild anti-conscience, transforming this violent content into a positive part of the human conscience.

It cannot simply disappear: it is our other self, our wild sibling that has to be transformed through the same process that transformed our human conscience, so that it acquires human sensitivity.

What gives balance and wisdom to the human being is not one’s rationalism, but sensitivity and comprehension while facing the human mistakes and compassion without conditions and limits.

I had been able to control the fear for many years but suddenly after a dentist visit, where the pain was almost unbearable I developed a panic attack alike state.

Something had to be done before my next visit.

I did what most people who are reading this would do: did a Google search for anxiety+dentist however the correct term is Dental Phobia.

Next was I decided for hypnosis, that was before I heard the price was $160 and maybe one treatment wasn't enough.

Self hypnosis was then what I would do, I did not succeed very well in that area. I was already in a state of extreme fear.

So I called a good friend of mine who is a NLP practitioner. She told me to do relaxation exercises twice every day and then do the self hypnosis exercises.

I felt much better after 3 days but not really convinced I was cured, so I did a new search and found EFT or tapping techniques.

He was here to receive a massage but also for some mild domination. He wanted us both to wear surgical gloves. I didn't think he should need to wear any. He wasn't likely to infect himself. He instructed me that during the massage I was not to touch myself. I said, 'Touch myself? How do you mean?'

Jack pointed at my crotch. I said firmly, 'No-one will be touching me there. No-one!'

'Oh, alright.' He sounded a bit peeved. Maybe he'd intended to have a rummage round my anatomy, hence his gloves. I understood his fear of my being a potentially hazardous area but he could rest assured that he would leave my premises carrying only the diseases he came with, if any. He certainly would not be permitted to delve into my 'forbidden zone'.

After we'd sorted out the health concern, Jack went to the toilet. He'd been so finicky about me having clean hands that when he came back into the massage room, I asked if he'd washed his hands. He paused for a second then said no, that he'd only touched the side (of his penis).

So that's alright then? I asked if he'd mind washing his hands because I had a thing about clean hands too. He looked askance but did as I asked. Well, it goes both ways.

It wasn't a good massage. What relaxation can be achieved when a masseuse is wearing slippery gloves?! Then came the domination. I told Jack to get on all fours so I could flog his backside. He crawled across the floor to 'worship' my feet. His phobia didn't seem to include the unpleasant conditions of the feet so I decided not to mention anything about the manky afflictions I have encountered in feet during my massage work.

At the end of the massage I had to stifle Jack's moans by clamping my hand over his mouth. 'Quiet!' I demanded, in my capacity as dominatrix. But I was more concerned about bothering my neighbours. Then again, my massage life had been so quiet lately, I decided that one audible flogging, with the accompanying vocals, wasn't so bad. It's not like I was disturbing the peace with 'heavy metal' music, such as Motorhead.

Jack had the halitosis that I've sometimes noticed in the older person when they've still got some, or all, of their own teeth. Apart from that, he looked at least ten years younger than his age and was an interesting conversationalist. I liked how he bought his surgical gloves in boxes of 1,000, so in spite of his phobia he still managed to 'get about' and experience life.

I believe that the consultant's thinking relates to my diagnosis. It's now, "probably schizoaffective disorder", for those of you who don't know that's a combination of the symptoms of schizophrenia and manic depression. I think she wants to see how things shape up on a higher dose of this anti-psychotic. I was never able to tolerate a higher dose of olanzapine due to sedation.

The schizoaffective diagnosis has come along because I have started to experience thought broadcast, the belief that people can hear my thoughts. However I think I already had some of the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and have done so since my early 20s. I have this odd need for isolation and social apartness. Notoriously, my idea of an intimate relationship is to have a twenty minute chat every month or so. I manage to get along with just a handful of close friends. I'm sure most people would think I'm a bit weird, though I like to see myself as some kind of friendly alien. Of course being unsocial has made some aspects of life difficult, especially work. And symptoms like paranoia have repeatedly sabotaged my attempts to get an education.

The consultant appointment cheered me up as they almost always do. I know many people don't like psychiatrists but as I've said before I generally get on well with them. I'm convinced that a couple of crack consultants, armed with some graphs and pie-charts, could sort out most of my problems in no time at all. I think I need a rigorously scientific , clinical approach: this would enable me to get to grips with all these messy emotions cluttering up my life.

Unfortunately the emotions are getting in the way a bit at the moment. They are extremely volatile. While I was happily joking with the consultant, twenty minutes earlier on the bus I was struggling not to cry. The risk of crying in public is ever present, essentially it's there every time I leave the flat.

I think I have a case of the old low self-esteem. I have been encouraging a couple of people I know to go to college, but my going to college is completely out of the question. I just know that my paranoia would go into overdrive in a crowded environment. And it's bad enough thinking that people can hear my thoughts when sitting on a bus. How would I cope in a classroom?

I have got to the point where I'm having to measure success in very small increments. Yesterday's major achievement - apart from not crying on the bus - was to return the DVD to the library. It took me two weeks to build up to this and the fine was £19.20 ie. much more than the value of the DVD. I wouldn't mind but the film - Hannibal Rising - wasn't that good. I'm not keen to see psychiatrists knocked - well, apart from that smug clown Raj Persaud (who has just been suspended from practising for three months for being a word thief).

My ambition in life now is to successfully complete a mission to the launderette and to get a haircut. If I can scale these heights of achievement I would like to start regularly going for walks through Hyde Park again. From there I may even progress to start riding my bike.

Many hospitals are failing to meet needs of panic sufferers, reports the Mental Health Foundation.

“The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines for treating panic attacks are obviously not always being followed,” said Nicky Lidbetter, Chief Executive of the National Phobics Society (NPS). “A&E is often the first port of call for a panic attack sufferer, as they sometimes feel they can’t breathe or are having a heart attack. We know that A&E departments are very busy and under resourced, but it is essential that staff get it right because the standard of care and advice offered in accident and emergency can impact on the severity and duration of future attacks.”

Nicky Lidbetter continues, “The National Phobics Society has found that the focus in A&E departments is very much on physical health, and often there is a lack of professional skills in dealing with mental health issues. It is inappropriate for a panic attack sufferer to wait for long periods of time in a crowded waiting room, only to then be sent home without treatment or advice – and this is an all too common occurrence.”

My experience of panic attacks is having them on the tube. I am now unable to go on the deep underground lines like the Victoria or Piccadilly. However despite having a number of attacks it never occurred to me to call an ambulance or go to A&E. I guess that I was lucky in that I realised I was experiencing a panic attack and that what I needed was calm. Obviously you wouldn't get that in an A&E department.

Medical News Today reports, Being Fat In Today's World Invites Social Discrimination.

Health care providers' efforts to convince overweight patients to lose weight are largely unsuccessful, Komesaroff believes, possibly because they do not understand the key issues that obese people face.

"The experience of being obese is often painful," he said. "Many obese people have major social and psychological issues that doctors and public health policies [often] do not address."

Nearly 50 percent of the participants (37 of 76) described poor mental and emotional health, including depression, related to their overweight, study data showed. Nearly all (72 of 76) said they experienced humiliation and discrimination regarding their weight, either in childhood or as adults. Twenty participants - more than 25 percent - regularly tried to lose weight quickly by going without eating anything for periods - essentially "starving" themselves.

While waddling down to the library, clutching the DVD in my great fat fingers, I had a couple of building site workers take the piss out of me. One of them did an impression of a roly poly type walk as I went passed, the other laughed and then puffed out his cheeks. I was surprisingly cool about it and remained unintimidated by these two intellectuals. But then I'm back on the diet and just keep telling myself that if I lose two pounds per week I'll be thin within a year.

Dear Vowel Movers, we often worry about your health. How are you feeling lately? Are you nervous, anxious and unable to sleep? Do you experience frequent dizzy spells, diarrhea, or anal warts? Sweatiness? Nausea? The feeling of losing your mind? A low (low low low) sex drive? Don't waste your time webMDing these symptoms because we have the diagnosis: you are afraid of poetry. You suffer from a known phobia called metrophobia.

That's a medical term which more or less means "poetry makes me crap my pants and also makes me not want to have sex as much." Maybe you read LangPo too soon. Maybe your mother tied you up and beat you while reading Gertrude Stein. Like all diseases and afflictions, no one is sure what causes your fear of poetry; it could even have been a seemingly innocuous event--like reading Kurt Vonnegut. Whatever the case may be, something in your past forces your neurons to fire HELP everytime you hear slant rhyme.

And you can't just ignore the problem; it doesn't go away. This fear is deeply embedded in your subconscious thoughts so that everytime someone says, "Have you read the new James Tate book?" your throat closes up and tiny hive-welts start raising all over your arms.

But so long as the negative association is powerful enough, the unconscious mind thinks: "Ahh, this whole thing is very dangerous. How do I keep myself from getting in this kind of situation again? I know, I'll attach terrible feelings to poetry, that way I'll steer clear in future and so be safe." Just like that metrophobia is born. Attaching emotions to situations is one of the primary ways that humans learn.

Just think, you could eliminate your fear of poetry using CDs and be the first person to write a testimonial about it. How 21st century is that? Additionally you can conquer your fear of death, fear of eating then vomitting, fear of beautiful women, fear of making phone calls, and your fear of anger!

Germophobia is stupid, like most phobias I guess. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of hygiene but, fucking hell people, get it in perspective! The world is a dirty place and you yourself, no matter how much you scrub, are dirty. Yes, you, you dirty bastard! You are fucking filthy! Even when you’re clean you’re covered and filled with all manner of bacteria and microbes. So beyond basic cleanliness you might as well just get over it.

I had to have a quick slash in a public toilet today and whilst washing my hands I noticed a guy by the door who was pretending to talk on his mobile phone. Actually faking a conversation and occasionally sneaking furtive looks back at me. Weird. Was he there for a sly bummy?  I wasn’t about to ask, I dried my hands and left. He followed me through the door, I mean immediately behind me. I realised the sad fucker just didn’t want to touch the door handle. What a complete ballbag! How long had he been waiting there? Waiting at the door pretending to talk to his fake friends desperately hoping someone would let him out of the toilet.

Get a fucking grip! The same germophobic ballbag would touch door handles everywhere else in his life. Door handles, ATMs, shop counters and money that would doubtlessly have been touched by someone who doesn’t wash their hands. Someone with poo on their hands - maybe not big chunks but poo particles, at least. The harsh reality is that there are poo particles everywhere. Everytime someone farts and you smell it  - poo particles - in your lungs! That’s right someone else’s poo in your lungs. Deal with it! Plenty of people don’t wash their hands after going to the loo, fuckin' bio-terrorists!, whether for a piss, a shit or even a crafty phone-wank. So it may be piss, blood or jizz particles, whatever it’s got germs in it. Everything does, everything you touch, everything you eat, it all has poo in it. Oh for God's sake, STOP SCREAMING!!! What are you gonna do? Spend your life wrapped in cling film?

Before you go completely berko and start spraying everything in sight with anti-bacterial bullshit spray like those maniacs on the ads, here’s another thought: The sprays only kill 99.9% of germs. I’m going to assume most of you have heard of Darwin and his theory of evolution, survival of the fittest and all that. If you kill 99.9% of the germs regularly, what you’re left with is 0.1% of the germs. What do they do? The don’t just hang out in a little corner minding their own business, they breed. Like bastards! They breed and evolve and get nastier because they can’t be killed by your stupid spray. Don’t believe me? Go to hospital, they’ve got the deadliest bugs ever discovered in your local hospital, that’s why the doctors want you to leave. No, it's not just to free up beds because the health system’s completely fucked, it's because the longer you’re there, the more chance there is you’ll catch some really bad shit and die.

Remember you have an immune system. Its job is to react against threats to your body by surrounding and destroying them. If you insist on circumventing your own immune system like a namby, germophobic nob-end, it won’t work properly when you need it to. So in conclusion, if you want to stay healthy, wash your hands, keep yourself clean but don’t be afraid to eat a bit of poo every now and then, and for fuck’s sake, don’t fake-talk on your mobile in public toilets waiting for some other fucker to open the door for you ‘cause if I see you I’ll fucking sneeze on you - just to make you lose your mind!

I'm familiar with a few, like coulrophobia (fear of clowns) - ahem! jon, claustrophobia (fear of confined spaces) and arachnophobia (fear of spiders), but I never heard most of them:

• Chorophobia - fear of dancing
• Clinophobia - fear of going to bed
• Pternophobia (extremely unusual) - fear of being tickled by feather
• Aulophobia - fear of flutes
• Metrophobia - fear of poetry

Circumstances must be very unique to instill these kinds of fears. Some seems like no-brainers la! Phobias are abnormal fears. As ridiculous as some are, everybody's got a few phobias checked on that list. And we got to overcome them.

But because God is God the Almighty, those of us who are His children don't have to worry or be fearful about our life circumstances. I can trust them all to Him.

Psalm 34:4-7 says it all:

I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
       he delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to him are radiant;
       their faces are never covered with shame.

 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
       he saved him out of all his troubles.

 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him (God),
       and he delivers them.

Isn't it ironic that the one fear - fear of the Lord that the bible consistently speak about is one that is of lack in today's world?

Jiayan and I were talking about our mild entomophobia (fear of insects). And I was amazed that her mum don't smack-and-scream insects, like most female does. And it's because she finds insects (groan, of all things) are beautiful creations of God. Amazing huh?

I still finding that hard to learn, but it's very true. Everything that God created, He says 'good'.

So ya, appreciate everything you've got.

What are some of your phobias?
Any extreme unusual ones? (Jon, I think you've got alot! ahahhahaa!)

I have battled the Monkey for years. Earlier this year I was able to stop drinking coffee for a whole three weeks,  proving to myself that I could win. Then I was faced with the unsightly tighter-fitting clothes, as I no longer had the appetite suppressant surging thru my veins.

Vanity verses good health will always be a struggle with me, especially when my drug of choice helps me in my fight against weight gain.

I am really happy that I don’t have an actual MONKEY on my back: :D

Not wanting to cop out on fighting the caffeine issue, I decided to once again peruse the internet for an easy solution and found many, many, many, many, many sites. Here are a few:

The ever popular 12 Step Program. For those who are serious about gaining control.

8 Tips - Wonderful suggestions with a few less numbers to remember.

7 Tools - Again worth checking out and a bonus of even one less step.

3 Steps - Now we are getting closer to a program I can manage. Just one, two three and I am on my way.

And then this morning I stumbled into a One-Step program… It is called “Scared the Fuck Straight.”

I may Never drink another cup of coffee EVER again.

I poured my coffee, added a sprinkle of sugar and dumped in a bucket of delicious (not) powdered creamer. … Reached for the spoon to stir, looked down at my cup… and screamed like a little girl being chased by the Texas Chain Saw dude.

I have mentioned in the past I am not afraid of spiders, but those disgusting water roaches will have me climbing on my desk. And I had a giant roach bastid (Thanks for the proper pronunciation), about three inches long, thrashing in my coffee cup.

Creamer, sugar, coffee, and part of my heart which had ruptured went flying all over the break room. My coffee cup is in shards, partially embedded into the wall. I learned that I can scale a wall with ease when aided by adrenalin. (I also learned that the ‘fight or flight’ hormone, epinephrine begins the breakdown of lipids in fat cells… BONUS!)

The guys came running from the shop as my screams left them fearing I was being murdered. The little ass huge ass roach almost gave me a heart attack.

Now excuse me while I go make a fresh cup of coffee to steady my nerves… Oooops, I suppose I should try the 12 Step program.

In addition, the ego, which is the centre of the human conscience, cannot accept criticism. However, the unconscious is always criticizing the human conscience in our dreams because it has to show us the truth. Therefore, the truth should be accepted first of all by translation of the dream messages.

The ego doesn't want to see the person's mistakes, but this is indispensable if the person wants to correct them and live happily. Therefore, we have to conclude that the ego is harmful for the conscience and the human being. The ego shall be destroyed and the human being has to develop a humble attitude.

Pride is the result of craziness, although it has another definition in our society. Pride is the absurd admiration of self. It is absurd because the human being is too ignorant and makes too many mistakes. First, if one is correct once, it is not a reason to be proud of one's success, after so many failures in one's life, in general. Second, because humility is wisdom, and pride is a ridiculous status in a place over the other human beings. It is ridiculous because it is created by a person who feels that he or she has a reason to be proud of something. It is a false feeling and impression.

Often, they really have no real reason to be proud of anything because they are admiring an error in their behavior, thinking that it is a good quality...

The human being is too ignorant...

This is another reason why the unconscious cannot directly tell us everything we have to learn through our dreams. There is far too much to learn! Through dream symbols, the unconscious can explain many things simultaneously, much more than what could be done with words.

Here is an example of a dream, the meaning of the symbols appearing in the dream and how to translate the symbols into sentences.

"A woman walks on the beach and sees a big rock on the way. She tries to move it from there but the rock is too heavy and a snake appears from the other side. Scared, she screams and runs away."

"Later, she looks at her watch and sees the time. It is a quarter past five. She has the impression that she was waiting for someone."

Here is the translation of the symbols' meaning:

The sea symbolizes the unknown region of the psyche where craziness is hidden (She is at the beach, near the sea).

The rock symbolizes the truth.

The snake represents a bad event that will bring salvation.

The watch indicates the time that marks a very important event of your life.

Another person: This represents another part of your personality that resembles the person appearing in your dream. If this person is unknown, it is an unknown part of your personality. Otherwise, it takes the characteristics of the person you see in your dream.

Here is the interpretation, i.e., we have translated the meaning of the images, and consequently translated the symbols into words.

The woman is near craziness (the sea) and she has to be very careful (self-evident deduction). She will have to suddenly face the truth (rock) even though she doesn't expect it (the rock appeared in her way unexpectedly). This is something she will not be able to avoid (she could not move the rock, and the snake appeared). The time is now (she sees clearly what time it was in her watch). Something very important is going to happen to her and change decisively her life very soon. It will cause suffering in the beginning but it will be turned into something that is beneficial to her in the end (snake).

She hopes that another part of her personality will meet her (she has the impression that she was waiting for someone); perhaps a stronger part, but we don't know anything about this matter. The next dreams will reveal us who this person could be.

Dreams are messages that are given in a series; this is why you have to write your dreams down and analyze their meanings in comparison to all the dreams. This way, you will have a general image of what the unconscious reveals to you. Remember, you are too ignorant and you have too much to learn. The unconscious mind cannot tell you everything at once.

Now, what can the woman who saw this dream do?

She doesn't know anything... but she can be very serious and careful as if she was expecting something bad because the danger appears clearly in the dream. She is near craziness, represented by the sea. The snake confirms that something bad will happen, but something that will not be entirely bad, since it will cure her psyche.

Many people don't like to predict the future if they see that something bad will happen to them. However, through dream interpretation you can change potentially negative futures by correcting your errors: you will not learn that something bad will happen and be unable to do anything about it.

You will correct your mistakes today, so that a potentially negative outcome can be transformed into a positive one. Without this knowledge you could not correct anything, and you will be grateful for this warning.

Therefore, the woman that saw this dream need not suffer as she would have, if she didn't know what was coming and if she didn't take the necessary steps to avoid a disaster. The next dreams will guide her and show her what to do, since she is in danger.

First the unconscious mind presents the danger, and then reveals to the dreamer that he or she has to do something in this regard; he or she cannot continue to be indifferent to the impending danger.

Depression is a warning: the onset of craziness or too much damage caused by craziness to your psyche and life.

Your dreams, thoughts and feelings and everything related to you in your life are strictly connected.

Depending on the dreamer's real life situation, one is exposed to situations that could make one's conscience give in to the anti-conscience. For instance, a nervous reaction against someone can provoke many violent reactions from them, what the dreamer perhaps does not expect. Further, unfortunately, violence begets more violence.

The unconscious mind revealed that she is in danger because she was near craziness and the truth will appear in her way. It could be the sudden love for a married man, the acceptance of treason against someone in order to steal money, etc.

Nobody believes that things like that can happen to them, and they can have such a condemnable behavior, but the temptations of life are too many...

In the beginning of dream interpretation we see many negative dreams, showing us that we are in great danger.

This is because the unconscious mind starts revealing the bitter truth: the monster is inherent in our anti-conscience, which often replaces our conscience. We have to understand the danger and fight against the domination of the wild side.

After preventing craziness, the unconscious starts sending you many positive dreams with solutions for your daily life and future. The beginning is disappointing because it has to help you correct all your mistakes, since your conscience is not completely developed yet.

However, soon you start seeing many dreams with future predictions and you acquire another vision of reality. This vision is much greater than that of anyone else in our world, where information, knowledge and wisdom are distorted by hypocrisy, immorality and violence.
