what did you dream last night?




analucia


;D


Answer
well i dreamed that my dad and me were going to like a family cookout but ended up camping out in the woods then i walked down a trail and it opened up into a beach with hawians on it but every time the tide came up it would flood the beach and hit this huge dirt wall behind the beach. i ended up telling my dad and we talked to the hawians and they said they needed our help to find them a new home. so we agreed to help them. we hiked up this steep hill and inn the middle of the wood there was a picnic shelter. with a trail the led down to a freshwater lake excactly like the one that my cousin live beside which was weird and it even had the same bridges that that lake had.we told the hawians about it and they liked it and asked us to take them to it so we did but we took them during high tidde so every time we to a step a wave would crash on us we had to hold on to a vine that was on the big dirt wall so we wouldnt fall we finally reached the new place and everyone went swimming in the lake and all of my friends ended up swimming with us but then a storm came and eveyone was yelling get out of the water but then the storm just went away and then i woke up

dream help?!?!?!?




ziggie


I woke up infront of a comic book store with my friend looking at superhero costumes, me and my friend were checking out some daredevil gloves and nunchucks discussing if i should try it on. What i was really looking for in the dream was a spider-man 2099 costume but they were out of them. We walked away from the store onto a beach and while we were i was trying to conciously conjure up a spiderman 2099 costume but that didnt work. And while we were walking i saw a girl i knew and liked from middle school sitting on a steep hill over a small trench, we both sat and all talked for awile till i had to go home. Whewn i was at home a homeless man talked to me (probly my brother) about her and asked me if i liked her, i said yes and he said "why dont you tell her" or "lets go see her" and at first i denied but then i gave in and went with him to his car and drove in the rain well he drove. We ended up in a house for shelter and promised the man a lighthouse because his dad was looking for a
lighthouse man and i pointed to a picture orf a man in a yellow jack and a yellow hat that looked like a fisherman that looked like my brother when he got alought older. We went out again the next day after i went to the store to pick out (marvel ultimate alliance) but they didnt have it, actuly it was before he came to me. Anyway we drove down the highway and i saw two lighthouses in a cityscape but i knew neither belonged to kiahs dad. we thwn went to the mall were or a market but i still couldent find it but hellboy 2 caught my eye. We went out again and asked if anyone knew kiah but no one knew her or her dad, we were on another hiughway later and took a wrong turn under a tunnel and i remember saying that we had to get out of there quick before the vampires came. Then the next thing i knew he was jumping off ramps on top of crates and through hoops past a dummy dressed as a scarcrow which we somhow either got points for or passed a test. The next thing i
knew i was a older lonar with a jean jacket with baggy clothing on a sport bike still looking for kiah, i asked at a store but the woman pushed me out and sent some people to steal my bike so i stole thier chopper chained up infront of a bar.



Answer
this dream is very complicated. but i think what it is telling you is that you need to focus on the important things in life or those things that are important to you now will be lost. Seems you had a desire to find this girl again, but the super hero thing kept popping into your mind, maybe distracting you or keeping you, and keeping you in a straight direction to the things that are really deep down important to you. I don't know how old you are, but maybe you should keep in mind, that there some things that come into our lives and if we pursue them, or let them become more important than they should be, it will only in the long run, do us harm or steer us away from whats important. seems to me you should make relationships with family (like your brother), certain friends(like the girl), and people in need of your help (homeless man) a priority . Rather than chasing after things and fantasies that will amount to nothing.
think about whats important to you now. and what you think will be important to you 10 - 15 years from now.
Also, maybe you are going to really help people. You probably have a gift to help people and you don't know it.
Don't worry if you don't feel like you are able or prepared to help other people. just do it. you don't have to look the part(like having the costume) it's whats inside that counts.

What does a dream about a huge wave of water mean?




CMAC


I recently had a dream that I was on an an Island or something, and suddenly a huge wave or wall of water was rushing toward me. I am not sure if I was on a beach or if it was a bay. But anyways I ran to the center of the island under some type of shelter similar to a Tiki Hut and grabbed on to a palm tree for dear life. Then I woke up. I have had other dreams that revolved around huge waves of water. Is it symbolic, or is it related to my fear of Megatsunamis? My friend told me it ment I was taking on too much responsibilites and I had a lot on my shoulders. True or not?


Answer
Water=emotions

Island

To see an island or dream that you are on an in your dream, signifies ease, relaxation and comfort.

To dream that you are in stranded on a island, signifies that you are in a rut and do not quite know what to do with your life. On the other hand, you may be seeking some solitude. Perhaps you are running away from a situation instead of trying to confront it.

Water

To see water in your dream, symbolizes your unconscious and your emotional state of mind. Water is the living essence of the psyche and the flow of life energy. It is also symbolic of spirituality, knowledge, healing and refreshment. To dream that water is boiling, suggests that you are expressing some emotional turmoil. It also may mean that feelings from your unconscious are surfacing and ready to be acknowledged.

To see calm, clear water in your dream, signifies that you are in tune with your spirituality. It denotes serenity, peace of mind, and rejuvenation.

Waves

To see clear, calm waves in your dream, signifies a calming of emotions. It may also signal an important decision to be made.

To hear waves crashing in your dream, indicates tenderness and relaxation. It also brings about feelings of sensuality and sexuality.

To dream that you are caught in a tidal wave, signifies the strength of your emotions, perhaps accompanied by tears that you are holding back in your waking life.

To see muddy, violent waves in your dream, signifies that a fatal error was made in an important decision.

Bay

To see a bay in your dream, represents understanding. Something is become clearer to you. The dream may also suggest that you are keeping someone at a distance and not let them get too close to you.

Beach

To see the beach in your dream, symbolizes the meeting between your two states of mind. The sand is symbolic of the rational and mental processes while the water signifies the irrational, unsteady, and emotional aspects of yourself. It is a place of transition between the physical/material and the spiritual.

To dream that you are on the beach and looking out toward the ocean, indicates unknown and major changes that are occurring in your life. Consider the state of the ocean, whether it is calm, pleasant, forbidding, etc.

To dream that you are looking toward the beach, suggests that you are returning to what is familiar to you. Alternatively, you may be adapting or accepting to the changes and circumstances in your life.

To dream that you are relaxing on a beach, signifies that the coming weeks will be calm and tranquil for you. Your stress will be alleviated and you will find peace of mind.

To dream that you are working on the beach, signifies a business project that will consume most of your time.

Palm Tree

To see palm trees in your dream, denotes tranquility, high aspirations, victory, and hopes

Hut

To see or live in a hut in your dream, represents the basic necessities and comforts. You need to simplify your life and get back to the bare basics. Accept what you already have and know that that is enough.

What do you think of this book storyline I came up with?

beach dream shelter
 on Victorian style seaside shelter on the cliffs above Southbourne near ...
beach dream shelter image



Sierra


ok so a while ago my friend had a dream with a plot like this.
n a distant future there is some sort of worldwide catastrophy that wipes out most of man kind. in my friends dream it was a zombie apocalypse somehow mixed in with post nuclear war, but it could be anything (if anyone has any ideas for the world wide catastrophy please let me know) all over the world though the people that have survived have gathered into groups or clans. (im still not sure how many people should be in each clan but I think there should be many clans) we are focusing on one clan that is in the pacific northwest around the remains of what used to be either Seattle or Portland. the clan will mostly consist of people 50 and under because the older people couldn't handle nuclear war and weren't strong enough to escape zombies, but there will be some older people. the story starts out with the main characters being two girls who are about 15 years old. one of the girls names is Rose and ones name is Gail. Rose has no biological family left because they where all killed at the beginning of the catastrophy which started (im not sure if it should be 4 or 8) years ago. The closest thing shes had to family since then is her "uncle' mike. he was the person that took her in and also her dads best friend. her dad, 2 siblings and grandparents where all killed from radiation poisoning when she was (11 or 7) and she has lived with her uncle mike ever since. her family was very poor and lived in a trailer park and her grand parents where in a nursing home. she is described as being of average height and weight but muscular. she has blonde/red (more blonde so I guess strawberry blonde) hair that is curly and goes down a 7 inches past her shoulders, her eyes are a blue grey color. her personality has to be strong because shes been through so much but there is also another side to her. a very depressed and suicidal side that she dosent show but is still there. she is also quiet at first but when you get to know her she is very fun to be around and has a good sense or humor her best friend is Gail, and a boyfriend named J. she also has a dog (mastiff) she is very fond of named Bo. Our other character Gail was much more fortionate then Rose. All her family is still living and she comes from a great home, a mom a dad and two older brothers. the family is very rich, so when the war started they where able to afford safety and shelter when the catastrophy happened
while Roses family could not. Gail is tall, about 5'11 she is also very pale and thin. her hair is jet black and her eyes seem to be black to but are just very dark brown, she has a sprinkle or freckles on her nose. The story starts out with the girls and the clan living as they have. a quite but on edge life in the forrest close to the remains of a city. I don't have an exact idea in detail of what I want to happen up until this next part. lots of people die. many people fall ill to some weird deseise that gaurentees death so group of members (the only ones lueft that are not ill or dead0 of the clan decide to go to the mountians instead of living in the city rubble. there more of the clan dies until it is just 5 people left that are not dead or ill. (two of these people being Gail and Rose. the other 3 are boys of around the same age, and they also have Bo the dog. they decide to leave the mountians and go find a safe cabin where one of the boys gramas used to live at the beach. Mike was murdered back when they where living in the city and J fell ill While they where in the mountians. he was not yet dead when they left but close enough to it. when they get the the house they stay for a while something happens in the house. two of the boys where killed right then and there in the house and the others decide to run out of the house. they run for two miles until the remaining boy is killed. next it is just gail and rose they are supposedly the only people left on earth. (earliar in the story it had been confirmed that 90% of all clans where whipped out and all the people of the other clans where ill. later confirming that they are the last people left one earth. they start to cry and sleep through the night up in a tree. they get through the day but at night gail is somehow killed. leaving Rose as the last remaining human on earth. Her depressed and suicidal nature brings here to a cliff on the ocean. she stares of into the sunset and starts to lean over the cliff (trying to commit suicide) but suddenly a hand grabs her from behind and yanks her back. that is where im planning to end the story the rest will be saved for the next book. Please any feedback at all positive or constructive criticism. Also I would like any ideas for
the plot line or characters. I NEED ideas for the catastrophy too. so pretty much any ideas and feedback at all please :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH

AGAIN THANK YOU
also who should be the person that saves rose from jumping?



Answer
I think you should break it up into paragraphs.

Where can I buy extra long tent stakes for beach camping?

beach dream shelter
 on Seaside Shelter Stock Image - Image: 26643831
beach dream shelter image



Glenn Beck


Some friends and I are camping at on the beach this summer. Every guide I've read about beach camping says that we must get extra long stakes because of the sand. I'm having a hard time finding these - does anyone know a good store to buy them at, or what terminology I should use to search for them online?

Thanks!



Answer
You need curved or v section pegs, not the straight rod type unless they are very long ....and then you find a rock buried eight inches down just where you're knocking the peg in. Beaches do that deliberate..
If you can find some pegs with a saw-tooth edge, even better.
You can get thick plastic ones like that or straight-edged, quite cheaply, or wide alloy pegs fairly cheap or stainless steel, even titanium...very expensive for those..
Wide pegs can be shorter than thin ones and then you get still more grip in the sand without having to go very deep.
Another trick is to put heavy rocks over the pegs. Bang or push the pegs right in to the sand so they're flush,and use big hopefully flattish rocks so they don't tip or roll, to put some weight on them. Same on snow. Pile some rocks over the pegs and build a bank of snow along the sides and back of the tent for better stability. Some tents have snow valances for doing that...very handy.
You can also use boulders to tie onto, scooping sand out from the base to get low. Sometimes handy for one peg at least to get a good fix in one corner and use the boulder for shelter or privacy. Put the cord through the peg loop and right round the boulder, then tighten up and tie it off. Put the sand over again and you've got a low fixing without using a peg.
Of course sands vary like soils vary. On the west coast of Denmark we drove a convoy of big Army trucks right along the beach for twenty miles on the hard sand ....as good as a road.
Even cycling on it on holiday later was a dream....not hard going at all..
Normal pegs were fine in it too.
Here are some sand and snow stakes...a lot of companies make similar ones.

How do i get over mild depression and help me interpret my dreams.?




ed


Depression has been following me since elementary school. Its on and off, but its been getting progressively worse even though my life has been getting easier and better. I live in a wealthy house. I have good friends but i feel like i lack happiness with everything i do. Every morning i feel sad like the world around me is so fake. And lve been having strange reoccuring dreams for the past 2 years. This one dream i keep seeing is this dark place with nothing around except for this one dark tree. As i go towards it, my teeth fall out and i can never get close enough to the tree. And the other dreams, i have stopped dreaming about people. I just dont know why i feel so empty. I have a wonderful life many people would kill for yet i am ungrateful for everything. And i started to feel much displeasure when people talk to me. I dont need a therapist nor do i need medication. I want to hear your stories and how u got over your depression. I am lost but i want to discover my own solution through others.


Answer
Hi Ed,

I was on some medication that gave me depression. I really hated myself, and felt like I was just a burden on everyone around me. At times I would feel as though an emotion belonged in me, but I couldn't identify one. Like you mentioned, I have nothing I can complain about in my life, but it seemed as though I had nothing to look forward to either. I still feel very cynical, like everyone is just out to do bad things and that life is insignificant, and negative, like happiness can't last and that I'm not going to get anywhere in life. I can't control my tears and I cry even when I'm not sad. I got through the really rough parts by knowing that there are people who really care about me, and would be devastated if anything happened to me. Volunteering and doing good deeds makes me feel as though my life is purposeful and worth living. I don't know what kinds of volunteer opportunities are available to you, but I highly recommend finding a position where you can directly see the good effects of what you are doing. Offer to shovel a neighbor's driveway or volunteer at the animal shelter or a children's fun fair. Do things that make you happy. For me that's going to the beach or singing when nobody's around. Sometimes keeping a diary helps you realize what you are feeling.

As for your dream, I'm not an expert but here's how an online source interprets it:
"To see bare trees in your dream indicate used up energy. You have put your all into some relationship or project and now you are exhausted. Perhaps you are even feeling depressed. Alternatively, the dream signifies the cycle of life or the passage of time. To see a withered or dead tree in your dream indicates that your hopes and desires have been dashed. You are experiencing some instability and setback in your life."
As for your teeth, the dream can mean you are anxious about how people see you. It can also mean you are embarrassed or worried or lacking self-confidence.
Surprisingly, it is actually common to dream that your teeth are falling out.

Best of luck Ed, I hope you are able to get yourself feeling whole again, and able to enjoy life like you deserve to :)

Where can I buy extra long tent stakes for beach camping?




Glenn Beck


Some friends and I are camping at on the beach this summer. Every guide I've read about beach camping says that we must get extra long stakes because of the sand. I'm having a hard time finding these - does anyone know a good store to buy them at, or what terminology I should use to search for them online?

Thanks!



Answer
You need curved or v section pegs, not the straight rod type unless they are very long ....and then you find a rock buried eight inches down just where you're knocking the peg in. Beaches do that deliberate..
If you can find some pegs with a saw-tooth edge, even better.
You can get thick plastic ones like that or straight-edged, quite cheaply, or wide alloy pegs fairly cheap or stainless steel, even titanium...very expensive for those..
Wide pegs can be shorter than thin ones and then you get still more grip in the sand without having to go very deep.
Another trick is to put heavy rocks over the pegs. Bang or push the pegs right in to the sand so they're flush,and use big hopefully flattish rocks so they don't tip or roll, to put some weight on them. Same on snow. Pile some rocks over the pegs and build a bank of snow along the sides and back of the tent for better stability. Some tents have snow valances for doing that...very handy.
You can also use boulders to tie onto, scooping sand out from the base to get low. Sometimes handy for one peg at least to get a good fix in one corner and use the boulder for shelter or privacy. Put the cord through the peg loop and right round the boulder, then tighten up and tie it off. Put the sand over again and you've got a low fixing without using a peg.
Of course sands vary like soils vary. On the west coast of Denmark we drove a convoy of big Army trucks right along the beach for twenty miles on the hard sand ....as good as a road.
Even cycling on it on holiday later was a dream....not hard going at all..
Normal pegs were fine in it too.
Here are some sand and snow stakes...a lot of companies make similar ones.

How do i get over mild depression and help me interpret my dreams.?




ed


Depression has been following me since elementary school. Its on and off, but its been getting progressively worse even though my life has been getting easier and better. I live in a wealthy house. I have good friends but i feel like i lack happiness with everything i do. Every morning i feel sad like the world around me is so fake. And lve been having strange reoccuring dreams for the past 2 years. This one dream i keep seeing is this dark place with nothing around except for this one dark tree. As i go towards it, my teeth fall out and i can never get close enough to the tree. And the other dreams, i have stopped dreaming about people. I just dont know why i feel so empty. I have a wonderful life many people would kill for yet i am ungrateful for everything. And i started to feel much displeasure when people talk to me. I dont need a therapist nor do i need medication. I want to hear your stories and how u got over your depression. I am lost but i want to discover my own solution through others.


Answer
Hi Ed,

I was on some medication that gave me depression. I really hated myself, and felt like I was just a burden on everyone around me. At times I would feel as though an emotion belonged in me, but I couldn't identify one. Like you mentioned, I have nothing I can complain about in my life, but it seemed as though I had nothing to look forward to either. I still feel very cynical, like everyone is just out to do bad things and that life is insignificant, and negative, like happiness can't last and that I'm not going to get anywhere in life. I can't control my tears and I cry even when I'm not sad. I got through the really rough parts by knowing that there are people who really care about me, and would be devastated if anything happened to me. Volunteering and doing good deeds makes me feel as though my life is purposeful and worth living. I don't know what kinds of volunteer opportunities are available to you, but I highly recommend finding a position where you can directly see the good effects of what you are doing. Offer to shovel a neighbor's driveway or volunteer at the animal shelter or a children's fun fair. Do things that make you happy. For me that's going to the beach or singing when nobody's around. Sometimes keeping a diary helps you realize what you are feeling.

As for your dream, I'm not an expert but here's how an online source interprets it:
"To see bare trees in your dream indicate used up energy. You have put your all into some relationship or project and now you are exhausted. Perhaps you are even feeling depressed. Alternatively, the dream signifies the cycle of life or the passage of time. To see a withered or dead tree in your dream indicates that your hopes and desires have been dashed. You are experiencing some instability and setback in your life."
As for your teeth, the dream can mean you are anxious about how people see you. It can also mean you are embarrassed or worried or lacking self-confidence.

Best of luck Ed, I hope you are able to get yourself feeling whole again, and able to enjoy life like you deserve to :)

What was the experience of an American soldier during WWII?

beach dream shelter
 on Report: Innovation and the City
beach dream shelter image



Jake


What was it like to be a soldier facing the germans and what did they have to endure as compared to WWI where it was mostly trench warfare, sniper fire etc?


Answer
If you've really taken this on, then you've a lifetime's work ahead of you ! Firstly, there is no such thing as "the experience of the American soldier" - or any other soldier. Each man's experiences ae unique ro him, and depend as much upon his personal characteristics as on the events. I'm not American, by I am an example of this. From a very "sheltered" upbringing, I went - voluntarily - into litrally horrendous living-conditions aboard a very small, very overcrowded ship, but it was by far the best time of my life - I was doing what I'd always dreamed of doing. So with every individual, the "experiences" are different, and the only way to get an overall picture is to talk to a great many of the men involved. But you've left it a bit late for that ! Unless, in the USA, you have something comparable to our enormous archive of first-hand personal experiences of every kind from every sort of person, built up and catalogued by the BBC and the Imperial War Museum.
And a moment's thought will reveal how different would be the "experiences" of those fighting on Guadalcanal, Tarawa and Iwo Jima from those on the Italian Front, in Normandy and the Ardennes(Though Tarawa and Omaha Beach do have a lot in common, as do Guadalcanal and the Ardennes)

What is the best 4 man pop up tent that i can get for £70?




Dead Pixel


What are the best makes of pop up tents and which one would you say is the best for a 4 man highly waterproof tent. I do not want anything but a pop up/quick pitch tent, and it's need to be easy to buy online from the uk


Answer
Millets have some good deals on at the moment. Eurohike have a corny name but they are pretty good for the price.
Buy online or in your local shop....link below.
You want highly waterproof pop-up 4-person tent for £70 though.
Ok. I'd like a Mercedes Sl35 but pay for a Ford Fiesta. We can dream.
The waterproofing is still OK though even on budget tents as long as you're not going to the Highlands or the Hebridean islands on a wet blowy day or expecting it to let in absolutely no rain during a four day rainy festival.
I use one to save wear and tear on my good tents for fishing off the rocks and beaches and for local walks in the hills where it can blow pretty bad and chuck it down, but that's close to home.
Nothing too bad if the tent fails. So far it's been OK but I pitch tighly and in as much shelter as I can find on our windswept hills with the tent orientated for the best wind protection.
To get the best performance you need to pitch it tight with no loose bits anywhere. Water runs off tight fabrics instead of collecting in puddles or making little rivers.
If it's got guy lines (some pop-up's don't) then get them well placed and tightened up all round to keep even pressures on the tent in wind. Pop-up's are not made for rough conditions-
If you buy a tunnel tent, as the pop-up's mostly are, you can use a sheet of polythene or a big lightweight groundsheet from B&Q, Aldi, Homebase etc as an extra cover. They have eyelets already fitted and you can use plastic coated washing line for guy lines.
It also gives more wind protection by helping to keep the tent stable in wind and aids the pegs in keeping the tent fixed to the ground if it's pegged out well enough, and it saves wear on the tent.
When you pitch the tent it's best to put a groundsheet down first and pitch the tent over it. Then tuck in the groundsheet all round and water flowing off the tent will stay outside and not soak in under the floor. It also keeps the base of the tent clean and dry and again saves wear and tear.
Like this groundsheet for a small one. It looks like Glencoe but it's in Peru.

It's best to buy some strong pegs. The pegs supplied with budget tents are never much good and for a pop-up tent in a wind you could be saying bye-bye to the tent as happened at Glastonbury this year.
