Help me with this dream that's freaked me out PLEASE?
It has me very upset. This WILL Be long but please help. I'll give some bckground info.. so at about 3:30 my dad woke me up after I had slept for like maybe 2 or 3 hours..to go see the meteor show but we ended up not seeing it..and went to bed. Then I stayed up until about 6..and went to bed fairly quickly. I can't remember everything..but I'll try. I don't know where it started but I remember being at my old middle school (I'm 8th grade homeschoole dnow) for school pictures and my brother (who's 10) was in middle school for some reason.. All the classes were sitting on church pews from one of my former churches. I remember me and my brother joked about something and I went to the bathroom and walked the "backway" which the backway looked like the old office in that school.. And then I came back and some girl was sitting on her friend or something's lap crying really hard and in my head I thought about asking what was wrong for a long time actually..then I did..MAYBE..I don't know..and no body said anything. Then my dream goes to.. me and my brother walking up a staircase to some audotoriam-ish platform and I said "Matt how did you take a shower?" (He had a towel around him and so did I) "We're not allowed to use those showers in the school" He said "I dont know" or something? Then I asked "How'd you get the towel and the..soap..? And shampoo...and conditioner..." And when I said soap,shampoo,and conditioner for some reason I was conscious about what the other people (there was lots of people in this audotorrium (idk how to spell it) and around us) would think about me naming certain things and what they would think about my cleanliness (?). Ok then he said "Bold Bengal. I had my bookbag.. and then I went to the school showers". And I said "oohhh". Bold Bengal is a thing they do at his current ELEMENTARY school where your on good behavior and for some reason in the dream I knew you had to show them your bookbag to get your award..and in the dream that was how it worked and made sense. Alright then I see the huge white auditorium thing with lots of people. Then it cuts.. to me walking from my room down our staircase.. and there's little orange squares all over the steps. And so as I walk down I kinda kick them down to the bottom and once I'm on our lower level of the house I look up and there's orange squares all over the walls surrounding the inside of the staircase (the stairs are surrounded by closed walls) and on the steps. Then I think I'm half conscious in a weird way at this point and I think maybe this dream is telling me something. Then I pick up the baby gate for SOME reason that blocks the dogs from getting upstairs and it hits a point in my neck and I could almost FEEL the pain it was so realistic. I start thinking I'm psychic or something in my..half asleep state or something and..I start walking toward the couch and sit down and out of the blue I black out slowly. I start to panic and then I can't move. I am squirming on the inside to move but I just can't. There's this noise..almost like a noise like your underwater but it's like an emptiness..like a machine or something..it's hard to explain and I can't really remember how it went. Then I try to scream for my sister and my mouth is really stiff and I open it some and..everything feels really THICK..and no noise comes out..And then some force is slowly making me lay down on the edge of the reclined couch..And I keep thinking I'm dying..in the dream AND in real life since I'm kinda half asleep. It was REALLY realistic and I was freaking out. Then I slowly come back to complete consciousness and as I do I'm expecting to see a living room in my dream but I see my bed..And I start moving around and I can move and talk and it was .. just really freaky. I can't understand it and my heart was beating really hard and I was just in shock. I was scared to death because in the little part of me that was awake I was almost really experiencing it. Thank you for reading this all..Im sorry it's so long.. But PLEASE help. Oh and I was only asleep for maybe an hour at the most. Because I woke up and heard infomercial. It was less than an hour probably..I don't know. PLEASE HELP

SVR E-Fed: WWE SmackDown! 4 23 2010?
I have done two coats of magnolia paint in my hall wall, stairs and landing using Wickes Matt Emulsion. For the third and final coat can i use wilkinson Magnolia Matt Emulsion, or will it be a different colour, its just the wilkinsons one is half the price!
Can i use two brands of Magnolia Matt Emulsion in one room!?
he's 41 and can't play defense. he's almost exclusively a pinch hitter. a great player. i'll miss him.he might be back, but i'm not sure. it's probably the end of the line.

yankees phillies or...?
I thought you Yankee Haters only said the Yankees can "buy" championships, cause they SIGN the best free agents and ACQUIRE the best players through trades... Let's see the pitchers that the Phillies bought: Joe Blanton("bought" or ACQUIRED him from the A's/Free Agency?) Chad Durbin("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Tigers/Free Agency?) Scott Eyre("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Cubs/Free Agency?) CLIFF LEE!!!("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Indians/Free Agency?) Brad "Blown Save" Lidge("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Astros/Free Agency?) PEDRO Martinez("bought" or ACQUIRED from Free Agency?) Chan Ho Park("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Dodgers/Free Agency?) hmm.. that's...count it...7 of the 12 pitchers that the Phillies have on their active WS roster... now for the position players... Paul Bako("bought or ACQUIRED from the Cubs/Free Agency?) Eric Bruntlett("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Astros/Free Agency?) Greg Dobbs("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Mariners/Free Agency?) Pedro "The Phillies Hero" Feliz("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Giants/Free Agency?) Ben Fransisco("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Indians?) Raul Ibanez("bought" or ACQUIRED from Free Agency?) Matt Stairs("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Blue Jays?) SHANE "THE FLYING HAWAIIAN" VICTORINO("BOUGHT" OR ACQUIRED by the SAN DIEGO PADRES/Free Agency?) let's count it... EIGHT Position players out of Thirteen that the phillies "bought" to try and win a world series championship. Let's compare with the Yankees... Pitchers first... Brian Bruney("bought" or ACQUIRED from the D-Backs/Free Agency?) AJ Burnett("bought" or ACQUIRED from Free Agency?) Chad Gaudin("bought" or ACQUIRED from the San Diego Padres? Hey isn't that the team where the Phillies "bought" Shane Victorino from?) Damaso Marte("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Pirates?) CC Sabathia("bought" or ACQUIRED from Free Agency?) hmm... that's 5 out of the 12 pitchers active on the Yankees pitching staff from the world series? Are the Phillies "buying" more pitchers than the Yankees in order to win the world series? What do you Yankee Haters think? Let's compare position players for the Yankees as well Jose Molina("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Angels?) Jerry hairston Jr.("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Reds?) A-Rod("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Rangers/Free Agency?) Mark Teixeira("bought" or ACQUIRED from Free Agency?) Johnny Damon("bought" or ACQUIRED from Free Agency?) Eric Hinske("bought" or ACQUIRED from the Pirates?) Nick Swisher("bought" or ACQUIRED from the White Sox?) That's SEVEN out of Thirteen position players that the Yankees "bought" to try and win the world series. But wait... Does that means that the Phillies are trying to out buy" the Yankees to win a World championship? According to you Yankee Haters... I think they are... So if the Phillies do come back to win this series... remember they "bought" their championship, according to ALL of the Yankee Haters... Now tell me this why does the term "buy" only apply to the Yankees, when other teams do the same, and apparently the Phillies are doing more "buying' than the Yankees. But 90% of you will continue to say that ONLY the Yankees "buy" championships... well continue you to swim in your ignorance... Thanks...Oh, so now if you buy say a candy bar and the kid across the street buys a cotton candy machine. You guys both "bought" those items... the Phillies have "out bought" the Yankees nonetheless... the Yankees have spent more money, so that's why all of you Yankee Haters say they "bought" it all... Cause they outspend others? really? It's still a fact that the Phillies, "bought" more players, than the Yankees did, look who's up in this series... IF the Yankees pull this one out count on me saying the Phillies "bought" more players than the Yankees and they still lost.. Get a Clue, Yankee haters
Are the Phillies trying to "buy" world championships?
What changes do the Phillies make for 2010? Pitchers and catchers report in four months. Raul Ibanez had a great season but he will be 38 years old next year. I would try to get something for him and go after either Matt Holiday and Carl Crawford to play LF. Have to decide what to do at 3rd base. Pedro Feliz will be a free agent. He is a great glove but will be looking for a big contract. Say thank you and good bye to Matt Stairs I would make sure Jayson Werth is locked in long term. I would test the market for Coles Hamel and if the right deal came I wouls move him. And of course a decision about the closer. Im bot sure I would get ride of Lidge. Closers are known to have up and down years. What do you think?and of course sign Lee.
