For a lack of better words, that is interesting.I hope no one mind, but...I've been wondering, and have often wonder about a childhood memory of mine...believe it or not..i can remember when I was a baby sleeping in my baby crib..I had ear infections, and my mom had to give me medicine and it would cause me to sleep and..i remember trying to resist taking the medicine, because it would make me go to sleep and as a result, I would have weird dreams...I would dream of...and this is weird...of what looks like a swimming pool with what looked like propane tanks and a bubbly substance and the whole thing shaking..it was on and shaking...in one dream where I saw this...it was as if I was in a hospital room, and I felt as if I was in an incubator on a table(remember, I was a baby) and in one corner of the room the tank things in bubble substance, and in the other corner was a doctor or lab type person in white coat looking over papers on a clipboard. He then turned off the light and left hte room. That was such a creepy dream...I was only 1 or 2 when I had this dream(don't laugh...I know I do have memories of when I was 1, because there is a photo of my grandfather turning me upside down, and I was wearing a yellow dress, and my mom was in the photo wearing a certain dress and I remember that...and it was at my first birthday party!!
and then another dream it was as if I was looking at a huge swimming pool with tanks and bubbly substance and a cranky elderly woman was nearby and she replied "Someone is playing games with us!!"
I don't know why I had these dreams...and I wonder if maybe it has something to do with when I was a premature baby and having to spend 2 or 3 weeks in the hospital(I had to spend another week in the hospital because my mom, grandmother and aunt all came down with the mumps...or is it measles...I wonder if gov. types took advantage of doing experiements on me...a premature for some reason....during that time...I don't know. By the way, my dad was in the military, and he was stationed in a base in Louisana and came to Fort Worth when I was born...my mom thinks my dad might have brought the mumps to the family...
Any insights on what this could be??? I think it's odd that as a little baby, I would have these dreams..

My character would look like me, is I had the proper power armor hehe, but I think I'll have to invent it first.Hi cherokeehippie!
I think your new character looks wonderful! I change mine every now and then just for fun--and mine looks a lot like me in real life too. I actually wear jeans and tie-dyed shirts a lot. My hair is long and chestnut brown, and I wear it in braids sometimes or just down.
Now, regarding your dreams as a baby, I have NO IDEA what they mean, but I do know that I also have memories from back to the crib--but mine are mildly pleasant. I remember laying in my crib grabbing my toes and thinking how cool that was.I remember my toys and I liked to have my crib toys in a certain order. I remember being taken to the park in a stroller and banging my feet on the stroller and thinking it was fun. And I remember being laid on an army blanket and it was itchy and I didn't like it. But my memories from back then are not so much "words and emotions" like they are now as impressions of an event or a feeling. Like when I said I thought grabbing my toes was cool--what it's really like in my head is more like I can see grabbing my toes and then the memory of the feeling of happiness. Does that make sense? I don't think I really had "words" or vocabulary to describe the feeling back then...but I do now so I pick a word to describe what I remember.
Anyway, your dream sounds kind of scary to me! Usually a hospital in a dream means "care or healing" as in something in your life needs to be cared for or healed--but your hospital sounds weird to me so I don't know what to think!
It's good to have you back

I like thatThe Wolves Within
An old Grandfather said to his grandson, who came to him with anger at a friend who had done him an injustice, "Let me tell you a story.
I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do.
But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times." He continued, "It is as if there are two wolves inside me. One is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him, and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way.
But the other wolf, ah! He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is helpless anger,for his anger will change nothing.
Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."
The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which one wins, Grandfather?"
The Grandfather smiled and quietly said, "The one I feed."

Most excellent responses, my friends. And now I pose yet another question: If you could talk to any person in history: (1) who would it be? (2) why did you choose this person? (3) what would you say to this person? (4) what sort of questions would you ask?
