Hi, are you still doing you advice thread? Just wondering. Also that sounds amazing omg I hope it's great!!

haha yup if you want to put something there I'll attempt to respond well :D

I did a little while ago so I was just wondering if it was still going :)

Ok so I know that a lot of you guys have been talking about how you're always feeling kind of on edge because of guns and gun control. And just reading this, this isn't gonna sound that scary, but you have to remember that when you have a dream it literally feels real and just yeah.

So last night I had a dream that ISIS went into New York City and began shooting everyone. Yeah. Just reading it from that sentence, you can't really imagine how i felt when I woke up but I was shaking so bad and I literally had to check my phone to make sure that this didn't actually happen.

In Times Square, dozens of ISIS guys opened fire. In my dream, I was there, and because my brain thought this was real I was immediately in a state of shock. I quickly left the area, and within days Times Square was basically a wasteland. The terrorists were all over Manhattan, randomly going into random places and shooting everyone in the area with machine guns; no place in the city felt safe, because you knew that at any moment they could begin shooting. No one could leave because no one wanted to ride the subways, and no one wanted to go into public areas to get food.

Basically within a week, around half of the people in New York City had been killed, and the rest were hiding in their homes not wanting to go outside.

The biggest comparison I can see this too is the city of Sarajevo. Sarajevo was a city where snipers surrounded the people in the mountains, making it impossible for anyone to leave. Then, they would just begin shooting everyone from rooftops, and those who were left began to starve and it was awful.

But I just can't explain how I felt in the dream. Every day or too, someone around me would begin shooting and I'd watch as everyone around me fell down, and so would make it out at the last second. I started to get paranoid of everyone, worried that at any moment they could begin shooting me.

A while ago, I had a dream that terrorists had broken into my school and were shooting everyone. That dream also left me terrified in the morning because it felt so real, and I had spent the last couple of hours BELIEVING that I was going to die and all my friends were dead.

This seems really dumb but I want to know if anyone else is just really freaked out by everything? Personally I've had second thoughts before going into really public areas. (I think what caused my dream is the fact that my sister and I went to New York City a couple days ago and that was already giving me lots of anxiety.)

it's not dumb at all. I've had dreams before about terrorists, especially ISIS. they're so terrifying and so messed up that it freaks me out just to hear about them on the news, you know? and one time at my school we had a drill, like a code red. no one knew what was happening but we were all thinking that there was a shooter in the school ... I was shaking and crying, one of my worst nightmares is being caught in a school shooting :/ so anyway stuff like that happens to me too, i get freaked out not just in weird code reds but also before going into public places. ((the code red wasn't actually valid, as it turns out. it was actually a reporter with a tripod walking through the parking lot, someone thought it was a rifle and called the cops as he was leaving. but they never communicate that stuff to us during a drill so it was really scary.))

but yeah I understand. I've never had a dream that detailed and vivid though ... thats horrible, sorry you had to go through that :c

haha so my friends were having a sleepover last night and decided to use an ouija board. long story short the "ghost" said she would kill me with "boom" and so just as I was getting ready for bed one of them texts me all this and told me to stay away from anything that could explode. then she got kinda angry when I told her to not tell me next time because I get anxious really easily. so knowing how ouija boards work, I'm quite annoyed at this, since it means that subconsciously they either want me to die in an explosion or they don't care if I do. but maybe I'm just in a bad mood from not getting any sleep.

oops so I was definitely just in a bad mood
but now I was going to have a sleepover with a friend tonight and we had been planning this for over a week and then yesterday she forgot and made plans with another one of her friends so now I have to stay home alone all night. Which is quite possibly my least favorite thing in the world. yay

thank you so much friend - sorry for the late reply. i feel a whole lots less panicky and worried now. :)

the next topic that i'm mulling you guys into is abortion. i know, i'm sorry - it's a subject not everyone likes to talk about. but i have to be honest, i don't think there can be a pro-life feminist. feminists fight for women's rights and abortion simply goes along with it. but i am Christian, and i'm very conflicted. i've researched, yes, but it comes up with a vary of articles.
for example, this: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/sa.../abortion.html
and then this: http://bibleresources.org/abortion/
please help.

In my opinion, even if you are against abortion, you can still be a feminist, as long as you don't judge and put down women who get abortions or who are pro-choice.
