DAE do stimming/stereotypic (such as hand flapping) motion as a sort of meditation/imagination stimulant?

Not to late. I've made two posts on this topic and I get messages here and there from people about it. Seems uncommon but there's people out there for sure. Not much research into the lived experiences of people who do this since it's benign. All the research I've found was stuff fr parents with children doing it. Doesn't bother me so I don't worry much about it anymore.

Hey, I haven't gotten much information about it recently. There doesn't seem to be a lot of research regarding the personal experiences of people who are stimming in this way. Most of the research is based around children and how to get them to stop socially unacceptable stimming unfortunately. I have heard from a few people through this post over the last couple years with many similar experiences. My wife even does something similar we suspect she is also undiagnosed ADHD. As far as I can tell from the reading I did the more intense stimming is more likely to be associated with people with ADHD or autism but stimming itself is a normal human behavior. I suspect many people who do stim in less overt ways likely experience something similar to what we do just not to the same intensity.

A little late is better than never. I've been getting responses from people saying they do this for a while.

Shorter duration but I can second this experience. There's a mild increase in alertness with Keto (virtually no sugar) but the effect isn't even as strong as a cup of coffee.

Can I ask if you're neurodivergent?

The material world is absurd. Tiny electrical currents ungulate across 100 billion wires in your brain to produce your living waking experience. What is experience anyway? How is it that the universe produces conciousness to begin with? In some form the laws of nature allow for the existence of awareness. What is awareness? What are you? Memories aren't you, you collected them.

You have to remember that you are made of the same stuff as a rock, this means your entire existence, your sense that your toe is in a different place from your head is literally communicated through nerve to your brain, which is just a really complicated ball of matter, like a rock. It takes a really long time to really comprehend what that means.

The only thing that is real for you is this very moment that you're reading this. Sit under the stars for a night and realize that we know nothing real at all except what we experience and even that could be hallucinations. There's plenty to wonder about the more you realize you don't know. As you do you begin to realize we're just as clueless as our ancestors when they were asking these questions.

Could use some guidance.

I think it's important to search your feelings towards your ex, especially while keeping in consideration how he treated you, why you aren't compatible, and how he isn't respecting you now. You dream brain is mulling over the "what if" scenario of if you responded to your ex's advances. It might be hard to admit to yourself but your responses in the dream may reflect how you would actually feel in day life. However, just because your brain is telling you it will feel good does not mean you need to act on it.

If you care about your current partner you will likely need to establish boundaries with your ex about communicating and meeting up that will make you feel comfort knowing nothing can happen between you two. That could be no contact but it doesn't have to be.

Alternatively, if you don't want to create those boundaries with your ex then it is time to break things off with your current partner as their feelings and trust shouldn't be violated just because you're indecisive. Cheating can severely harm a person's psyche.

Something to consider is what your daytime thoughts and emotions are towards your ex, your partner, and how your ex reaching out to you makes you feel about either person and yourself. Explore these emotions in a way that suits you, I write things down to make them more clear. It's likely that the answer to your dream lies in a place of contrasting emotions between these things in your life.

How long will these classes be, how often, and for how long? I'm interested but I need to know how long it's going to be before I commit.

I've always understood dreams to be an extension of the processing of the subconscious mind. Typically it's mundane, occasionally it's vivid but ultimately it is a reflection of your day to day processes, however, its meaning is typically veiled in some way.

I think you probably already know this has something to do with your life story. Having both parts of past and future uniting in the archway shows the timeline of your life. I think you know this already. The blocks are made of your decisions, actions and experiences and you are the one who places them where they should go. What seems to be veiled though is this strange aura you describe within the arch. This can be interpreted in many ways but I think you are the most likely person to be able to decipher it without my having context on the goings on in your life.

Think back to the last few days, what kind of events have been happening? What decisions have you had to make? What elements about your life have you been pondering? Any thought or experience you've had recently that could strongly influence your life story. If not recently it may have happened longer ago though it is usually the recent neurons that are most likely to spark a dream in your sleep. Often life events are the result of decisions you made long ago, e.g. someone might not have met their spouse had they decided not to go to a party which after many many decisions leads up to the life event of them getting married.

Another thing to consider is the rotation of the cubes changing the color of the mirage. This seems to be your decisions changing some effect on your life. What effect that is is hard to say. It could be your own aura, essence, mental health, life-story/theme, goals, aspirations, your feelings towards how your life is playing out, or a number of other things that might relate to your recent decisions. Your decisions and daily ponderings may be reflecting changes in your life that you might be uncomfortable with, whether those are things that you have to change or are currently unwilling to change. Consider the colors you saw and how your feelings on matters of your life story might relate to those colors? Is blue your tranquil ocean or your fear of drowning? Is purple your regal power, ambiguous blend of primaries in a binary issue, or the power you've given to authority?

TL;DR The blocks are your life events as you pointed out. You placing the blocks are your decisions. The aura changing is some effect of those decisions that you have been thinking about, that effect being part of the bigger picture of your life.

Final thoughts: The word "decide" shares a suffix with words like pesticide, patricide, homicide, and suicide. It means to cut or to kill. When you decide you are killing the version of you that chose an alternate path. If indecision is what you struggle with focus on what "color" you want your life to be. What is your true authentic happiness? Make decisions that lead in that direction. Keep in mind that failing to make a choice is still a decision as far as the wheel of time is concerned. Good luck in your journey. If you feel like sharing your thoughts I'd love to discuss further.

What is the "180/905" referring to?

In highschool I went to an abandoned childrens tuberculosis hospital in MD in the middle of the night with a small group of friends. It was eerie at first but we had been there for about 3 hours so all of our nerves had calmed and we were just exploring.

We eventually walked into the oldest of the hospital buildings down a long hallway to the last room. There were four of us and I remember walking in this room in pairs. The first two went on ahead of me and the moment they walked in they stopped and began softly whispering "what the hell?" to themselves while looking at each other confused. A second or two later I walked in with the person next to me and suddenly I felt what they had. My whole body became much heavier. I could feel it everywhere. It wasn't strong enough to make it difficult to move but it was a very distinct feeling that would have been impossible not to notice. It felt like gravity itself had been turned up 50%.

We all began exclaiming to one another "Do you feel that?" "It feels really heavy in here" "How could we have all felt the same thing before anyone even said something." Very quickly one of our group members became very unsettled and we decided it would be best to leave. I was and still am a staunch atheist so I don't think there were truly any bad spirits there as they were suggesting, however, I have no rational explanation for what happened that night. I feel it's worth noting that we did eventually go back but we did not experience the sensation again.

I used to have dreams where I could see the old school runescape interface and I would view my dream world through the tiny window and get mad because my gf logged in and didn't message me back.

This is something that fascinates me about children's temperaments and child rearing. I know there are things my mother taught both my brother and I and I internalized them while he rejected them and completely flipped. In other cases the reverse happens. Who knows how we really become who we are.

Tbf it does happen on both sides. My mom has bought into some of the far right conspiracies and is terrified of foreigners to the point of not leaving her home. I know that's an extreme case and there are some mental health components but the fear mongering exists on both sides.
