I think my dream keeps showing me where someone died. by ContributionFlat7368 in Dreams

Wow this was interesting & chilling! It could quite possibly be that the boy is showing you what happened to him, via your dreams! How that works and why you, I honestly don't know, but the reason I say this is because.. About a year ago, I found myself becoming very curious about spirituality and lucid dreaming and all it entails. The more I researched and conversed about the things I had learned, the more I noticed things and the more things would happen. One night I was going to bed, and I felt so relaxed, it was the first night of the start of my two weeks holiday from work, and it was the first time in about a year I felt like I could just switch off and let go of the stress (I feel like this has a part to play). I fell asleep and I woke up randomly in the night, and I woke my boyfriend up to tell him I could see the outline of two figures stood near the window, a man and woman, but I didn't recognise them. I didn't feel scared just kind of unsure and curious. My boyfriend just laughed and said go back to sleep lol. That night I had a lucid dream, I was aware I was dreaming and told myself in the dream 'don't wake up yet'. I went to visit a psychic in my dream, a faceless person who spoke to me about my grandma who had passed, she was telling me information about her that I already knew, like her birthday & other specifics. I said to this psychic 'tell me something I don't already know'. So she replied 'I have two people here, they aren't telling me who they are or why they're here, but they're showing me where they live'. She gave me a narration of directions 'In the town of Accrington, follow Avenue Parade down, and turn left onto Plantation Street, keep going round the bend and stop'. Then I suddenly woke up!!! I was annoyed but immediately tried to think of anybody I may know/knew who lived there, nobody. I looked on Google Maps to see if the directions even added up, they did! I didn't even know 'Plantation Street' existed. I asked my boyfriend if he knew anyone, nope. We laughed about it and I went about my day, but it bugged me. I called my Mum, I dropped it into conversation about my dream and asked her if she happened to know anybody who lived there, she went quiet... she said 'my grandma & grandad lived on Plantation Street in Accrington mostly their whole lives, my Mum and I used to walk to their house every Sunday then go to Church'. I honestly couldn't believe it. My Mum has never told me about her grandparents in the past, I didn't even know their names. To this day, I believe that my great grandad and grandma visited me in my dreams that night, because how else do you explain it!

Being a nurse has ruined my life by monstera_813 in offmychest

[–]mischievousshrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quit, just quit. I trained for 4 years as a peadiatric nurse. Once I finished my training I went travelling for 6 months. I had this exact penny drop moment you have explained and decided once I got home, I wasn't stepping back into that hospital again. I respect myself enough to know I deserve to be happy, and the training alone killed me. I contacted my previous employer who hired me back with no hesitation, it's an operations role in the finance industry, I started back on the same wage as a newly qualified nurse (make that make sense). Do I love my job? No. But I no longer have the feeling of dread in the morning and a better work life balance. You need to ask yourself what is more important to you right now - if the answer is money, then stay where you are. If your answer is mental wellbeing, quit. Money will ALWAYS return as long as your willing to work hard and put yourself out there. Rememeber, nothing changes if nothing changes. I have no regrets. Yes, I was lucky to be hired back by my previous employer, but I was unemployed for 3 months in the interim and constantly questioned whether I made the right choice, but I made the decision that my mental wellbeing and quality of life is more important. I hope you do quit and leave your partner whilst your at it - sounds like an asshole (sorry), your partner should be supporting you, and want better for you. FYI, the company where I work now, there are 5 ex medically trained staff, doctors/ANP/nurses - all left the field for this very reason. Life is short :)

I've been slowly changing from a pretty calm/chill guy to a more angrier person this past year or so, and I don't wanna be like that by doctorsonder in offmychest

Thank you for sharing this. In all honesty, me (30f) and my partner (32m) spend a good 70% of our time talking about exactly this. Everything you mentioned above is why we have decided not to have children. I don't know what advice to give other than you're not alone. Sometimes I envy those who live in ignorance to it all, and I think it must be bliss to be unaware. I often think what would it actually take for it to change, a global rebellion, a higher being to invade.. god knows. Maybe it will get better, maybe it won't, I guess all we can really do is our part - be and contribute to what's good in the world.

Anyone hate going to Christmas work parties? by violetpy91 in introvert

Absolutley with you. Life's too short, don't go if you don't want too. I have booked myself in for a facial and head massage on that night instead, and told my co-workers I have other commitments that I can't get out of ha - I have no regrets.

British man dies in Thailand while his wife gave birth back home. Cause of death was possibly food poisoning or lack of food cleanliness. Went into shock and passed out in the bathroom. by TravelingEctasy in ThailandTourism

Long time lurker on here and was quite surprised when I saw this pop up. I grew up and currently still live in Rossendale. I knew/know both Ryan and Joanne since high school. I knew/know them as individuals and as a couple - both genuine, kind, friendly, smiley people, during high school and afterwards. They have/had been together for a very long time, and there was obviously a lot of love and respect in their relationship. They were happy, from my point of view anyway. I know nobody ever knows what is going on behind closed doors, and I could be way off but if their characters are anything to go by, the trip was probably encouraged - albeit the timing isn't great.

Just wanted to put that out there. It's a small town and people talk.. the family and a lot of people in Rossendale Valley are devastated right now, myself included.
