I spoke in one of my dreams but I didn't know. My sister told me I did. I tried to recall if I had said it in my dream but I didn't. Maybe it's because we don't fully remember our dreams. Is there a possibility that we can invent a dream recorder like that of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within?

Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by the brain's inability to regulate sleep-wake cycles normally. At various times throughout the day, people with narcolepsy experience fleeting urges to sleep. If the urge becomes overwhelming, individuals will fall asleep for periods lasting from a few seconds to several minutes. In rare cases, some people may remain asleep for an hour or longer. In addition to excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), three other major symptoms frequently characterize narcolepsy: cataplexy, or the sudden loss of voluntary muscle tone; vivid hallucinations during sleep onset or upon awakening; and brief episodes of total paralysis at the beginning or end of sleep. Narcolepsy is not definitively diagnosed in most patients until 10 to 15 years after the first symptoms appear. The cause of narcolepsy remains unknown. It is likely that narcolepsy involves multiple factors interacting to cause neurological dysfunction and sleep disturbances. I don't think the other two fall in this disease though. Maybe it's just daydreaming. Maybe you're tired and need some rest.

It's sad. I hope there will come a time when rap becomes the opposite of crap. But then again, not all of us like or hate rap...so others will still think of it crap. I listen to some rap. Some of Eminem's raps are great. But when he collaborated with D12...hell broke loose. Some rappers here are great too...but not all...they rap about the silliest things. The beat is what I like...so I just pretend I don't understand the words they say so I won't feel silly.

Interesting answer. Why do you think so? Because the brain isn't functioning anymore? Your mind is dead?

I do that a lot too. Just to annoy people...or just to say something...it's not that I don't like silence...sometimes it's nice to talk about something you don't want to talk about...later on in the conversation, you'll get to something interesting anyway. But usually I slap myself because I ask advice for the silliest things...or the things I shouldn't ask advice for...like a secret that i should just keep to myself...so I usually just shut up and keep the questions to myself...i hate issues...people make issues of my asking for advice...so i shut up and pretend i don't have any problem at all. People ask advice from me...a lot...so it makes me happy to help them...but it irritates me when they ask over and over again...it's like they didn't learn anything from what i said...or from the shows they watch on tv...the books they read...the things they hear from people. so i guess some of them want to bug me.

I told my mom I wanted to try smoking. It's not to be cool or any social reason. I'm just curious why people smoke so much despite the knowledge of the bad effects of the thing. She actually didn't say no. She told me to go ahead. She even offered to buy me a pack. She said she'd let me try so I won't be ignorant to it, just like how she allowed us-siblings, to try drinking alcoholic beverages. Then she said if I liked it, then she would let me stop and let me continue if I wish to after I get a job. She doesn't want me spending their money just for something that can kill me. But it's totally okay with her if I smoked. It doesn't bother her at all just as long as I buy it with my own money and I won't come crawling to her when the bad effects gets to me. But I don't think I'll smoke just because I got permission from my mom. It's still bad for my health...and since i'm asthmatic...I'll kill myself if I do smoke. I don't want to die that way.

Thank you for all your responses. It has helped me a lot. I guess I should just accept the fact that we are still noobs when it comes to life. We do not know the exact things that we will encounter, and when it comes to face you...you don't know what to say...maybe out of shock, you're mind turns blank...or full of answers that you become confused of which one to choose...so you ask for advice. from people whom you know can help you a great deal because they have been in the same situation.

Hmm...didn't hear a sniff...I'll watch out for it next time.

Why do most rappers these days rap about sex, or the most silly thing...about braces...or "grillz"? And check out the video! Whew! Ladies with their humps squeezed in tight with their fitting clothes...bah!

Yep! There are a lot of them in our country. They aren't even artists. They're just a bunch of pirated humans! Why do they even bother to go into the music industry when they can't even compose their own music and lyric? It's not only about the voice you know...it's what you have to show to the world...and all they show are remade songs...yes, their remade songs may be better compared to the original ones...not all though...but it's still plagiarism...piracy.

my bad...just read the news a few min ago..

According to wikipedia..it's considered a normal phenomena. Psychological research has argued that hallucinations may result from biases in what are known as metacognitive abilities. These are abilities that allow us to monitor or draw inferences from our own internal psychological states (such as intentions, memories, beliefs and thoughts). The ability to discriminate between self-generated and external sources of information is considered to be an important metacognitive skill and one which may break down to cause hallucinatory experiences.

I guess it is. According to the Internet...It is a vivid dreamlike hallucination that occurs as one is waking up. No cause of it being drugs or mental illnesses.

That's a logical explanation.

Most of my boy classmates are much more colorful than me. Well, they are more meticulous than I am. They do all the things that girls are supposed to do...they powder their faces, comb their hair, put on a lot of perfume, they dress too long a time, take a bath for a long time too...and they are not gay. They are real men. So i guess it doesnt matter what sex you are. It's just the way a person is.

I'm doing the same thing too! But not while I'm walking, I usually just sit around and think..or just stare into space...then when i notice someone coming my way...i sniff. Then i straighten myself up..or sit straight...or change my position at a quick instant...touch my nose, squeeze it perhaps...hold my neck... So maybe it's the fear of having someone find out that you are alone...or thinking...or doing something that they haven't seen you do before...or for strangers...then maybe it is insecurity. Hmmm...I think I'll highten my observation skills...and when someone does the sniff...i'll ask them about it...they'll pretty much say..."I sniffed? I didn't know."...maybe it's a reflex? or something...I don't know. I'm sure YT will have an answer for you soon.

I didn't read it all through out...I'm in a hurry. But I get your point. I may be a Christian, but neither evolution nor creation apply to my point of view...at least not yet. I'm still getting to know both sides. I'll read on...and soon I'll stand either with you or against you.

yep! they can still smoke packs of cigarette...it's still bad for their health whether they feel the nicotine effect or not. the parent should vaccinate them. or simply keep their children educated to the possible effects of nicotine and prevent them to smoke.

there is nothing wrong with china doing so...if it is true...at least the prisoners will be put to good use.

lol...but itsn't it better that we're naked? imagine...if you had as long a hair as theirs...

something like yin and yang, right?

so that we'll look hot.

lol.
