@Mazarita I am the same way Mazy. Am just trying to be sociable and make friends. Maybe I shouldn't push though and let things progress naturally. Whatever I chose to do it has to be comfortable and not forced just to make 'friends'.

Wow, @greenpea, those are powerful visions and I would find them hard to live with. How do you feel about dreams like that? I'd be scared by that kind of imagery. Sometimes there are shocking things that would be horror if I was emotionally connected to them. But I wander through my dream realm like an observer a fair bit. And many a time I just don't remember dreams.

I was talking about friendship with my psychiatrist today, @greenpea. He was saying it doesn't even need to be friendship, just social situations where we are with other people. He talked about how we grow them and they grow us, even when we are not really close to each other. I could see what he meant. Where I have been going for activities at a local mental health centre, I haven't really made any friends as such. But I meet up with people there and it's good to see them, and vice versa. And I feel better when I make it to my activity groups.

@greenpea, this is an awesome conversation. But I'm fading fast now that first light is just about here. Going to have to go to bed now. Hope you enjoy your walk when it's light. Love to you, my friend the pea.

@Mazarita Sunday assemblies sound very interesting too. So much information does one's head in lol :). I need to be very careful with whatever I chose.
Well I didn't have dreams like that until after my grandmother died. I believe she was the catalyst to my dreams. I loved my grandma and I have a very open mind. Personally I think it is a bit like the movie 'Ghost' some people really are blessed (if you really want to see these things) and like Whoopie can see and hear the dead. I once had my tarots done and the woman said that was a man who was hanging around me. She described him in detail. He was talking to her non stop and one of the things he said was directed at me 'Girl get that front door fixed' . Our front door doesn't shut well.I nearly flipped. It was a small thing but how could she know that,
