Dreams where you are feeling powerless usually occur when you actually do feel powerless because something is happening that you can't control, like money or marital problems.

Probably everyone has them in some form at some time. Mine usually involved hand-to-hand fighting. I also had a lot of dreams years ago where all my teeth fell out or I was chased by ferocious animals.

These things aren't real complicated, though shrinks and scam artists make a lot of money off people who worry about them.

A distant relative, like your brother-in-law's nephew or your uncle's sister-in-law.

Usually it's someone you dislike, which in this dream it was.

And BTW, in real life kidnappings often involve some disaffected relative of the child's parents.

I've met NcongruNt. Nice guy. I've lost track of him.

I rarely have dreams that involve firearms. However, I had one last week. I dreamt that (a) it was back in something like 1986 when my son was a baby, and (b) one of my shirt-tail relatives was involved. I was screaming at the guy that I was going to shoot him. Problem is, I started screaming out loud and my wife practically went through the ceiling.

The kind of dream where you are being attacked and fighting back doesn't work is rather common.

You're right.

However, I won't call someone a spammer or troll until that is provable. I find it easier just to move on without further comment.

I sort of have the opposite problem. Since I have been a member of the forum for six years, I have pretty much seen it all several times (except for the changes in laws). I really don't need to discuss amusement parks or accidental "flashing" again. I just figure the newbies need to get it out of their system.

I never understood why it's a problem. People are still commenting on the Bible, and that was written nearly 2,000 years ago.

Many things that were posted in this forum are as valid today as they were in 2005.

That being said, this thread necromancy reminded me of the OP. When I first joined, he posted a decent amount. Haven't seen him around in a while, hope he's doing ok.

He logged on today, so he probably is OK.

Actually, they sometimes do.

ElGato tells about one of his alumni who was involved in a road-rage incident. The other driver was driving erratically, tailgating, screaming, etc.; and the CHL holder drew his weapon.

The idiot stopped his road rage behavior and called 911.
