[Just your average movie goer]

Amber, your dreams sound very serious... meaning, I think you may want to talk to a doctor about it and see if you could get any medication for it. You may have some variation of that disorder where you always hear voices in your head.

I wish I could think of the word but having not been in an English speaking country for eighteen months, I'm just losing all my vocabulary.

Okay - I had a look on the internet and found it. I knew I would recognise it if it saw it. The syndrome I was thinking of was called "schizophrenia" but I don't think that's what you've got.

However, have a look at this webpage I found. This sounds like what you're talking about - http://www.emmadavie...n-syndrome.aspx

It doesn't offer any solutions or anything like that. I just found it without really looking. But it gives you a name and some of the symptons. That's a starting point. Have a look and then hunt around a bit to see if you can find more information about this. I think it'd be worth your while.

Heh, I don't do doctors. I can deal with my own mental problems.

[Amber-Nicole]

Er. Interesting page you found there...Well I don't hear voices. They're just dreams.

I would hear voices talking and mumbling in my head. The meaning of what they were saying was always just beyond my grasp. Sometimes the voices would have conversations with each other. Sometimes they would shout. Sometimes they would talk about me.

I used to have that problem up until a few months ago! That's why I started keeping a knife hidden in my room, even - it made me feel safer. I'd get freaked out because I would actually hear people talking (and they weren't my people either, they were strangers). It started when I thought I heard two large men standing quite close to me (probably only two or three feet away) and talking about me for some reason. Later, sometimes different people would laugh, and sometimes they would call my name. I think one of the last times it happened I was really startled by a young woman (she sounded a few years older than me) saying quite clearly in my ear "(something something can't remember what)...I know what you are".

[Amber-Nicole]

I've never had problems when I'm completely awake. Ofcourse with the lucid dreams, I'm partially awake. I do have paranoia issues. I don't care much for people, and big crowds. Sometimes I'll be out somewhere, and I'll just play out in my mind someone going psycho and just gunning everyone down. I'll have similiar scenerios run through my mind when I'm at school, and I notice a kid who looks particuarly angsty towards the world. Hearing stuff on the news now and then about people sniping eachother and stuff for no apparent reason doesn't instill much faith in the human race.

No, but Chefelf.com Night Life does.

Ahhhh the voices.

About 10 years ago I had to sit for an important maths exam.
I'm useless at maths and was terrified.
As I read the questions a voice started talking in my ear,
sneeringly...you can't do it...can you....you're stupid.
Then it started saying *wowwy-fwowwy, wowwy fwowwy*,
over and over.

And, no, I didn't end up going mad.

Failed the exam though- ignominiously.

wiiik... wiiik... this is your concious... you killed neil you spotty bastard

if i told you about half of my dreams i'd be condemned mad...


so i wont...

[Jane Sherwood]

Well I for one already think you're mad, but it's the cool, fun kind of insanity that I admire in a person.

You know what, I'm just going to put the Cheshire Cat's line in my signature and save myself the trouble of retyping it over and over again...

[barend]

..."we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

there's just no defence for that...
