Errrrr , wotsa connotation?

And I do not like her! thats why i called it a WORST case scenario ( emphasis on worst )

Slaveless 03-21-2006 11:16 AM

Really. So it would be bad hear that your friend's girlfriend died because then you would have to hear about it than rather hear your girlfriend die.

Anyway, I don't think about much before bed. I read a book before bed, then I think of something, which eventually turns into a dream. However, sometimes I don't know what I was dreaming when I was still awake, but like last night, those things turn into my real dreams. Such as last night, at the end of my dream, I had an entire army of mudokons at my school.(Don't ask why) Anyway, I feel like most of my duju vu comes from my dreams oddly enough.

Hmm, another thing I always do is re-run conversations from the day in my head and what I should have said or worded better. Then I imagine how the conversation would have went if I had said something different, and I have a complete conversation in my imagination keeping me from sleep.

Ambi, the more you say, the more I fear we're actually the same person. Except I do that in the middle of conversations, then wonder why the other person can't remember any of the things we were just talking about.

AquaticAmbi 03-22-2006 10:59 AM

Spooooky...

I guess I do that a little in the middle of conversations too, then wonder why the person doesn't understand what I mean... I guess because I explain half of everything only in my head rather than outloud. Plus, I talk in half sentences sometimes, forgetting the person can't hear the rest of the thought in my head. :rolleyes:

Dipstikk 03-22-2006 11:10 AM

I think about Rich and Super Munch.

Then I krank one off and go to sleep.

Jarrardo 03-25-2006 05:55 PM

No one here thinks about sex?... Am I that sick in my head?

Facsimile 03-25-2006 07:46 PM

I think we were trying to keep this discussion above that level...

Sekto Springs 03-25-2006 07:53 PM

I think of baby jesus, and god's love, and the ma.....

HA! Couldn't do that with a straight face!

That sounds interesting, relaxation techniques are very difficult to learn.

Wired 03-26-2006 02:59 PM

you're right. like i said i only try, they are difficult, which makes me feel i'll be like this for a long time. :(

Oddish 03-27-2006 11:51 AM

Relaxing techniques takes imagination realy. Imagining that you're melting like an egg is one of the ways. For me it takes effort, and getting into the mood and calming down and all.

Sometime when I'm in bed (or somewhere alone) I predent to have a conversation with someone about anything, and asking myself questions, coming up with ideas and answers. A habit I like falling into.

LoboDiabloLoneWolf 03-27-2006 11:57 AM

Hrm...I plan stories plots...what can I say, I'm a born writer. :D Most of my best ideas appear before I go to sleep. :D

Sekto Springs 03-27-2006 12:31 PM

I've tried many relaxation techniques, but I've only discovered that soothing music and incense gives me a headache.
The one spot I can really get my calm on is in water. Tub, pool, jacuzi, whatever. It is a bit on the dangerous side though, I have a tendency to nod off in rising water.

I'm exactly the same way! I can spend hours writing and drawing my ideas when I go to bed!

....Which explains why I'm always so tired and grouchy....

Facsimile 03-30-2006 08:12 PM

I'm the same. Apparantly it's something to do with you being closer to your subconcious which is something to do with your creativity.
I may have used the wrong words, but you get the gist.

Cloverfield 04-14-2006 02:33 AM

I think about ... Sephiroth of course. :)

*cough*

Although I have a lot of problems getting to sleep due to screwy sleeping hours. I often find myself thinking about things that heppened and sometimes I worry about things I shouldn't.

I generally think about whatever happend that day or whatever's most pressing in my life at the moment.

mitsur 04-18-2006 07:01 AM

I usually just think of all the stupid stuff i've done that day, or thinking of the fun things that happen that day. But sometimes I try to figure out complicated problems from school, which almost always works. So I usually just try to figure stuff out before I fall asleep.

But then, for some reason, this tiny thought creeps into my mind and makes me beleive zombies are right outside my house, waiting for us to fall asleep and break in. Of course, some of you might say zombies don't exist. But when i'm alone in my bed, with the streetlight faintly shining into my room, they are real to me. I don't know why, but my brain won't let me dismiss the idea of zombies.

So I lay there, my mind going 60mph figuring out an escape route, what I would do, what weapons to grab, etc. So I finally get to sleep by counting up to and down from 10. Then I'm out like a light.

Is that enought for you guys to think i'm a total psycho? ;)

And no, what I typed above is what actually goes through my mind before I go to sleep.

Melodramatic, but:

My first love.

Christ I'm such a pussy.

Statikk HDM 04-21-2006 10:51 AM

I think about my family. I miss them sometimes.
If I want to go to bed quick i can't think about sex and get all riled up, I think about happy times in my life instead.

How does thinking about your first love make you a pussy? Anyway, I've started thinking about wierd things and last night I dreamt that I swallowed a Gameboy.

Nate 04-22-2006 07:05 AM

Lately I've been seen Psychonauts every time I close my eyes. But that's not exactly a conscious thought, just an effect of playing it waaaay too much.

Sidenote: Mia's nightmare totally freaked me out.

Aw Petey. You think of me every night? :)

I used to do that a hell of alot. [Think about first love not peter/myself. ;)] As sad as it sounds I only got 'over it' a few months ago, about 2 and a half years later... -_-;;

Recently I've been thinking about films and stuff I'm gonna do in the future.

And of course. That special someone.

I'm still recovering. But I'll be damned if I take 21/2 years. Dammit, I'll probably take longer :p

Well, I try. xxx :p

Rex Tirano 04-23-2006 06:04 AM

Yes, because I found someone more annoying to think about. :p

Nate 04-23-2006 06:49 AM

I've been thinking about Petey lately... but perhaps it's best not to reveal why.

skillya_glowi 04-29-2006 07:26 PM

*Without reading any of the above posts*
I think about Oddworld. Shocker.

Ninjaxe 04-30-2006 07:59 AM

I usually think what I am going to do next day. Just now I am writing a novel and think of that. Sadly it nothing to with Oddworld.

It the silence. Where I can piece each character into place. I have the prologue done. Is there a literture section on off topic stories? I put it on to see if I should continue or scrap it. So far it is a bit of a mess
