Sooo you're a " considerate " books as weapon user....one day you're children will be very proud of you... :lol:

What's strange is that i'm deathly afraid of all bugs, critters, etc...w/the exception of Spiders...go figya!

I once read that of ppl's top fears, Spiders are #2, Public Speaking is still # 1...

Yup. I can't stand them. When I was in HIgh School our teacher told us to take a nap after our exam and I had a dream I was falling, I stomped my feet as if I was landing. Everybody got a good laugh out of it but some of them knew without asking that it was a "falling dream". I haven't had any in a while though, lately it's been me drowning dreams, and I was in a plane crash. Now my husband said I am no longer aloud to travel by plane. Haha.

Wow!....i never had a drowning dream, that must be FRIGHTFUL....i think the only thing worse would be a " dying in a fire " dream...

i wonder what it all means ? there are many books devoted to this subject, but frankly i think that they're just guessing...........none of them ever struck a chord w/me...( just another shrink trying to make a buck )... :lol:

The drowning was horrible. I would wake up and realize I was hold in my breathe as if I was really underwater. The one where I died in a plane crash my husband believes I shouldn't fly anymore. Lol I think I just have a cruel subconscious .

Yikes!...reminds me of a very famous actress ( i think you're too young to remember her ) Natalie Wood, who always had a fear /premonition re drowning...and that's exactly what happened to her, at a comparatively young age...

So tell me, would you actually AVOID flying because of your dream?

Haha well. Probably not. I have a fear of flying to begin with but I never let it stop me. It scares me having a dream like that butbthats all it was. If my dreams were premonitions it would make for sn interesting and very infortunante death.

For me, a " perfect " death ( if there is such a thing ) is to just never wake up after a night's sleep...

A doorstop - the perfect use for those "training manuals", the ones you get after sitting for hours bored out of your mind as an expert "I've never done this but I can talk for hours about how it should be done" drones on & lets face it the manual is never again looked at & just takes up space in your office. At least holding the door open it's serving a purpose. :roll:

That's how I would prefer to go also. My husband and I were actually having a discussion about it the other night...of course we were watching House.
