"Couple barred from flight for man's shirt. Clothing depicted lewd act, airline says."
I find this disturbing and bizarre, but somewhat understandable. Still, I think many people are just way too scared of sex and anything indicating a sexual conotation; they repress themselves. It troubles me.

But this is very cool:

"What Dreams Are Made Of"
I love dream research. When I was a teenager, I wanted to work at a dream instutite as much as I wanted to work in parapsychology. I found out that some of my female cousins on my dad's side used to be very psychic and they had lots of psychic dreams. I wrote a high school senior thesis on parapsychology and its relation to neuroscience, and included an interview with my cousin Tricia, who was empathic, clairvoyant, and precognitive, and was skilled in astral projection. She said that as
she got older, the abilities faded. It might explain why my father was so psychic when he was younger. My grandmother Josephine was also precognitive through dreams. Maybe the whole Capello family has a "psychic gene" or something. Lucky me. ;)

Hope nobody has to feed a baby on that flight.

I was on a bus once, and a woman next to me started to breastfeed her newborn baby. A woman sitting across from us gasped in horror and slapped her hands over her eyes, peeking through her fingers occasionally. Then she actually leaned over to the driver and hissed loudly, "that woman is breast-feeding!" The driver turned, spoke in Spanish to the young mother, who replied. The driver turned to the American woman and shrugged, saying, "The baby's gotta eat."

Oh, right, I forgot -- in America, a breast isn't a source of food for babies. It's a sexual object. Duh. Silly me.

*snorts* Idiocy...doesn't beat when mall (not MOA...a different mall around here) securiy booted a family from the place because their baby wasn't wearing a shirt. *snorts and rolls her eyes*

What, was the baby going through *really* early puberty??

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

Well, duh. :p

Good for the driver, though.

I always wanted to be ;
- a parapsychologist
- a researcher into dreams/subconscious OR
- a researcher into twin telepathy

(I am still fascinated with these things)

I have some amazing 'psychic' dreams. I wish more people talked about this stuff so it wasn't so taboo, because it feels silly to say 'I have psychic dreams' - but I know that I do.....

What sort of things/dreams do you experience ?

When I was very little, I'd experience precognition, clairvoyance, telepathy, astral projection, aura and spirit sight, and very strong empathy. I'm still a very strong empath. In college, I became pagan because it fit me best spiritually, and then I found out that I am a hereditary witch. So I started working with "magic" (which is basically just energy in different forms, whatever anyone calls it).

I've had dreams mostly of people close to me. Either something wonderful would happen, or they would die or be seriously injured. But my dreams have always been very cryptic and layered with metaphors and images that might not necessarily relate to anything going on in real life -- until later. Like, I could dream something that turned out to be symbolic of an actual event.
