But of course, I wasn't accusing anyone

I just wanted to know if CE could provide a psychological interpretation of my dream...

I'm innocent. Proof of my innocence can be seen in the fact that I am a member of People Constantly Wrongfully Accused of Things.

In my mind, that is proof of guilt!

Yes, but I'm not in your mind (just as well for you, and for me) so I'm still innocent.

That's odd, the interior of your mind looks remarkably similar to my computer room. *Goes off looking for the "Rocky Horror photo" memories*

Not the sad smiley! Have you no shame?

Erm... that is something for me to discuss with CE later.

What I have heard is you are far from innocent.

How can you have memories of the Rocky photos? You haven't seen them...

And no, at least not related to the sad smiley

Innocent little me, not innocent? Never! Just ask...ermm...Beldin, he'll tell you.

If I'm in your head that means I can find your memories with sufficient searching.

No shame, hmm? We'll have to explore this at a later date....

I don't need to ask Beldin.

Oh well... just don't break anything!

You'll notice I was very specific about my lack of shame, and that's because I was expecting that reaction...

So you already know I'm innocent, then?

I'll be careful

I'd hate to disappoint you.

So if we accomodate the sad smiley into things you'll have no shame hmm? Kinky, but I can live with that.

Good!

Dear C Elegans, Im not sure if you did hear what I was saying or not, But you did clearly not care enough to come up with an answer to the question I was asking. Im sure its very fun and revarding for you to discuss my sex appeal but it would be nice if you as a proffesional didnt place your preferences in conversation subjects first, But rather the concern of the client.

Despite your attitude I will give you another try.

Dearest Dottie, in your first post you did not even hint about the addiction problem you describe below. Instead, you expressed worries about two women you claim deliberately torment you and try to embarrass you. I did extensive back reading in threads where you have been socialising with female member, and could not find any events that corresponded to your experiences. Therefore, my opinion is that your interpretation of these women is unfounded, you are having paranoid delusions. I was simply offering an explanation for your feelings. A psychologist cannot, and should not, support delusions her clients are having, on the contrary she should offer reality confrontation. Concern about the client is always with the clients true best in view, not necessarily what feels best for the client in a particular moment. And I always know what is best for the client.

During the past mounth I have developed a addiction of sort towards a certain ... on this board. Though im not feeling any discomfort with this someone suggested I should contact you to make sure this was not harmfull in any way.

Now, this is an entirely different problem than the one you first posted. Or are perhaps addicted to the torment and embarrasment you claim to be victim of?

To find out whether your addiction is harmful or not, I need more information. You feel addicted to a certain member on this board, is that right? This is not necessarily harmful in itself, but some points must be considered.

How does the person you are addicted to respond to your addiction? Does he/she seems to be bothered? Has this led to conflicts between you and this person, such as this person explicitly asking you to stay away from him/her?

What signs of addiction can you observe in yourself? Do you get withdrawal symptoms when away from this person? How long time are you able to stay away from the person? How far are you going in your efforts to stay close to this person? Are you stalking the person? Are you mail- or PM-bombing the person? Do act as a peeping Tom?

Finally, what are the reason you feel addicted to this person? It is important that you try to understand the mechanisms behind your actions.

I feel I must step in at this point and help CE out with this problem.

Do you dress up dolls and make them call you High Lord Tyrant?

If you do..and you are married does your partner agree with you...while telling you to take another one of the pills the Doc gave you?

Do you have dreams of blue cans with yellow writing on them chasing you through a dark deserted house?

I keep having this reoccuring dream that I can't sleep.

Dreaming that you can't sleep at least means you are sleeping, but you will feel tired when you awake, since you dream you cannot sleep. The best solution of this problem, is to sleep when you are awake. If you are a student, morning and late afternoon is preferrable. If you work, the hour after lunch and the late afternoon is suitable. Eating a heavy meal often facilitates sleep while awake

Wha... *blink* Oh, sorry CE. *looks down at clothes* I don't remember going to sleep like that...

Hmmm, I had a dream that someone was hugging me... what do you think it means?

Continuing on the sleep theme, dreams can be classified into three types: day-rests, wishful dreams and REM-dreams.
Day-rest dreams are typically framentised dreams where things that has happened to us recently show up, such as work/school related stuff, things we are thinking about or worrying about, people we have met etc.
REM-dreams are the colourful, often bizarr and surrealistic type of dreams that is often a kind of story. They can be quite long, and the weird events happening seems totally normal in the dream.
Wishful dreaming is dreaming about thing we consciously or unconsciously wish would happen. They express inner drives and needs, such as love, sex or success. Your dream is a typical wishful dream, it is an expression of your need to be hugged. By whom, I cannot tell since I'm only a shrink, not a medium.

Sometimes the content of a dream can be influenced by outer stimuli the dreaming person is not aware of, such as if the alarm clock rings, the dreaming person will "dream in" the sound in the dream, perhaps as a phone, door-bell.
The ethics code of my profession however prohibits me from revealing whether your dream corresponded to any such outer events.

It's the one I liked best, yes.

You mean there are others?

Hmm, what do we have here? Memories of having a bath...This needs looking into.

I'm sure I don't know what you're implying here.

EDIT-Thanks Doc, I never understood dreams at all before.

I love ethics.

@Weasel: I am most grateful for your help, although I must remind you to not overexhaust yourself here. I hope you are not bored in the soft cell? Even though you aren't doc Waverly, perhaps some dancing girls or bathing suit magazines would be nice?

Robnark · Post by **Robnark** » Sun Jun 16, 2002 5:25 am

although some dancing men or farm animals could be arranged for, i'm sure

I will take it easy.

It was just in the case of subject 9823 (Dottie), I saw Georgi and her evil ways giving subject 9823 fits..(In the "Dragon Wench's Home for the Depraved" thread). I personally believe 9823's case needs to be moved to the top of the list. But I will leave this decision to the expert..you

The cell is fine..(Thanks for not painting the walls blue or yellow)

(Can I call the Dancing girls... Minerva

if so, please send them in.

Well Dr Elegans there is a rather annoying habit i have developed over time, i think there is a connection with monkey's and their lack of tactile thought, but i digress, i always start every reply with the word "Well", what can be done about this, i see no rational solution, am i going to be forced onto a diet of non-sequitir or maybe a drug ****tail involving ink and several other drawing products...oh and BTW, i think this phenomonen may well have sent me crazy
