I'm not sure whether my brother actually has them or not yet, but he sure describes some weird dreams every so often. I found a great site about how to lucid dream here: htt... |

I'd rather have a friend that could tell me something useful, thoughtful, and helpful, than a friend who could ... |

| I've had a lot of Lucid Dreams, 'cos I tend to get really bad dreams, I'm controlling myself, yeah, but I always dream that someone's being horrible to me, or trying to kill me... And sometimes I'm yelling in my dream "Wake up wake up wake up!" and then I get woken up by the sound of my own voice in... |

I've always liked Sunflowers and Daffodils the most, they make me feel remotely cheerful for a short amount of time...
But, not wanting to be known as the forum b****, but how come this has ended up in the Autism discussion section, and not the random discussion section?... |

| I wouldn't recommend anti-depressants, you're obviously an intellectual, as you worry a lot about things, and people who ain't as smart just don't tend to worry so much (ignorance is bliss), and it would be a shame to waste your life by living in an anti-depressant fluffy cloud, if you see what I m... |

| Then again, I've been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder (manic depression) as well, but I refused to take the tablets, so strangely enough, I guess that might be why. I have a feeling I might be bipololar. What were your symptoms. Someone told me that one of the symptoms is that you feel good about ... |

My parents have never understood, and I've tried to tell my friends, but it just draws a blank... |

| "Why are all the good-looking guys gay?" A rhetorical question a female classmate raised to another female classmate, right in front of me, right after I failed to identify one of her advances (I think). Yes, the usual NT assumption that if you don't respond when they think a girl is hitting on you... |

| I've never been in to the whole attracting thing, but that's 'cos I have a preeeeeetty low opinion of myself. And you have to feel attractive in yourself to attract other people, and all that stuff. |
