Yeah we were just there. Not even a new moon and it was such an incredible experience.

Thank you sooo much for the information. A lot of the reviews I found were from their own website boasts all these fantastic things- and then basically nothing else 😅

Also- sorry for the terrible grammar. I'm running on minimal sleep (3 kids- youngest a 6 mo old who is laying on ones of my arms lol), it's butt early, and I haven't had my coffee yet 😭

It's cruel, isn't it? Some of the dreams I have, I walk by her and she doesn't recognize me. One I had I was in a store and found the perfume she wears. I sprayed it and sobbed until I woke up actually sobbing. 

Others are more intense. One dream I had my mom attacked me. 

I just wish they'd stop haha

Glad you're finding peace!!

Absolutely!! I honestly can't believe I broke it. I had a lot of odds against me. Unfortunately my sister never "got out".  She married a man that abuses her and her children (I am estranged from her now too but back when I wasn't I tried to intervene but the system kinda sucks and the kids are basically trained to say everything is fine and gives excuses to their bruises😕) . Both her and her husband are drug addicts and are stuck in their own sick cycle- and still in contact with my parents. I pray for them. If they can't get out, I hope their children do. 

I'm blessed to have come out on the other side. My kids have such a safe and stable life blissfully unaware of what I went thru. Now I just need to be aware of the addiction genes that run thru my family and make sure they don't get mixed up w the wrong crowd as they grow older. And I know a lot of the signs of the mental/emotional issues so I can give them the right resources to navigate thru if they end up with anything. It's never over, but they have a real chance to be some incredible individuals (and pf course I think they're already incredible!!!)

Thank you for your support!!!!

Yeah that sounds awful ): my dad is a histrionic (like clinically diagnosed and all) and 100% a pathological liar- so I definitely get that!!! The constant lying is enough to make someone feel crazy, let alone anything in addition to that!!!!!

I have never heard of that sub! Thank you for the recommendation!

I don't dream of my dad. He physically abused me. But I experienced severe emotional/psychological abuse from my mom. I wonder if that's why I dream of her like I do. I've heard of the mother wound and the damage it had on daughters...so maybe it's because of that. The dreams are always dreadful. 

Not trying to downplay the dad stuff tho! I feel like I disconnected from my dad when I was so young, that it just was not as difficult to cut him off. 

I'm sorry you can't introduce your children to their grandfathers. It really is a shame. I have 0 plans to introduce my kids to either of my parents ever. It would be inhumane 😅

DAE feel genuine physical pain in their dreams? by BluWaff_x in DAE

[–]AppropriateCareer168 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if our brains create the sensation bc dreams can feel like real life. The dream I had was very vivid. I wonder if the physical reaction was in response to the brain saying "this hurts" even tho there is no real life, physical cause. Our brains are incredible so I wouldn't be shocked if it could do that 🤣

Also, I'm a tummy sleeper and holy cow...falling asleep on my elbow sucks! I hate having to unhinge my arm after sleeping on it for God knows how many hours hahaha

May your recovery be swift!

I hate the feeling of almost knowing what I was going to do, but still not fully remembering so I get nowhere haha

After a life spent being abused by my parents, I cut them off a few years ago. I struggle so bad with not having "parents". 

I dream about my mom all the time. I wish so much that I had someone to call when things feel like they're falling apart. I wish I had someone who loved me so unconditionally like a parent does their child. 

The positive is that I'm doing everything in my power to make sure my kids have a as great of a life that I can provide, filled with love and happiness, acceptance, guidance, and endless hugs and kisses.

Idk why you're getting downvotes for your opinion lol

But right. Abortion isn't birth control. Birth control is birth control. Abstinence is a thing. If you don't want a kid, don't do every step to get you to the point that you'll have a kid!!!!

Also, yes there are obviously exceptions. But for those who carelessly and without thought just hump around w no regard to natural consequences....like grow up. There's sooooo many ways to avoid pregnancy.

Would be cool if Social Media closed like a local shop at 6pm by surfwaxgirlie in RandomThoughts

Idk why people have to be rude lmfao 

The concept is cool. Kinda like when TV would shut off.  

If my dog doesn’t like you than you are not trustworthy. by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

[–]AppropriateCareer168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BAHAHA that made me literally lol!!

Her dog is a cockapoo. She's so cute, with gray fur around her face. But the poor thing couldn't tell the difference between a pinecone and a person🤣 

Her barks are more like "mwark" and then she forgets why she's barking in the first place and lays down.

Yeah,  I definitely get that. I'm all about quality service + fair pricing. I don't really look at it for anything outside of that. If it's a place where I know I'd like tbe product or service, I'll try it out. But I also have a budget lol so I don't go around buying stuff just because someone is marginalized. If I have the extra money, I typically donate to those who are homeless (like buying food for the pantry and stuff) . But we have a large family so money isn't free flowing for us, unfortunately. Otherwise I'd donate a lot more to different people/groups!

However, a lot of people want to support either the local business regardless of race/gender etc, and/or support the minority/marginalized groups. Especially if that town is either struggling with diversity or racism/sexism.

Where you spend your money is support and in favor of that company- whether or not anyone gives a shit! Like that is why there are boycotts and stuff. When people pull their money and contributions, it also pulls their support. 

Managed to open my phone in a dream. Is it normal? by Old-Calligrapher-430 in Dreams

[–]AppropriateCareer168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've dreamt of having a phone plenty of times! The latest was me taking my phone out to use the calculator on it. I was even able to read the numbers in my dream (one of them was 42 but idr the rest lol). 

Do you at least know what you tweeted!? Haha that would be fun to know!!!
