You are a young teenager that lives in the U.S, in a state that begins with the letter F and shaped like a penis. You have insecurities that prevents you from socializing with others, but this makes you more wiser. After graduating your high school with a GPA of over nine thousand, you soon find out that no one really likes marine biologists, except in Hawaii. So you attend University of Hawaii, Hilo to study the fishies and the pachyderms and the seaweed and the whatnots. After graduating with a B.S in biology, you will spend 12 months finding a job with no luck. You'll regret majoring in biology and will subsequently ask yourself "Why...why didn't I major in something more useful than biology. Like physics or chemistry or engineering. Why didn't I become a millionaire like Norstal?" In your anger, you jumped off a cliff, into the sea. However, because the sea was contaminated with the radiation from the Fukushima power plant fallout, you gained mutant powers. Soon, you emerge as Aquaman, able to communicate with animals and breathe in water. Also you can't die.

:rofl:
That last part sounds like a homicidal dream I had...

Unexplained =/= supernatural.

It means exactly that: unexplained. When we reach for the supernatural to write off what we do not understand, we lower ourselves.

Are you saying that having mutant powers would make you homicidal? or would you use them more to eradicate the alien threat posed by the UFOs that so many of us here have seen?

The only ghostly experience I've had was a cup full of water moving on a table on it's own. Keep in mind that I checked for wind, any forces pushing it, or a slippery table - I found none.

Odd, most door slamming, nightmares, etc. can usually be explained by adolescents living in the house. Though, considering your family experienced this as well, I would put it down to an extremely dark family secret. Either that or your possess a gift, Though If it were that, it probably wouldn't be as bad. What are the dreams usually like?

Like someone has put their head into mine & is looking for something in my mind, or trying to experience something in my memories for themself. It's taken me years of experiencing this to get to this point of reflection on the subject. It took me a while before I noticed the wake up time, & then when I was wondering if it could be a haunting, my mine started struggling more with the "dreams", then finally the slamming attic door, but that hasn't happened since. However, it does feel like a sort of invasion.

Do not joke about the proud Sumerian race! A friend of mine made that mistake. He ordered the bulldozing of an ancient ruin, relic of high Sumer, while working for the Iraqi government under Saddam Hussain in the 80s. It was on top of a large sulfur deposited that he wished extracted.

So, after gauging that there was no treasure of any kind inside, he sent a squad of soldiers to enter it and lay the charges that would've toppled the whole structure. Well, he waited three odd hours and noone came back out of the ruin. He sent in another squad to the same effect. At last he got the entire platoon to follow him inside with ropes, flashlights, etc. I was waiting outside with some of the laborers, smoking cigarattes and chatting.

Out of the direction of the desert a mighty sandstorm came, unexpected and unprepared for, though usually we got much warning before such events. It was larger than any I had ever seen before. Well, it raged, and we escaped as best we could to the trucks and holed ourselves up, but when we emerged, the ruin was entirely buried under the new dunes, and the strength of the buffet had disoriented us, that we knew not where the structure was. In this way was my friend punished for his sacrilege.

So when I was around the age of 1, my mother had a vision or dream, or it was reality, that a man stood before her bedroom door saying that she had to watch out next day. What happened the following day? I had a very low blood sugar ratio so I almost died.

Also interesting, the man who stood before the door looked like my fathers grandfather (he was in Bosnia because of the civil war when this 'dream' happened).

So was it a dream, a vision or reality? And is he good or evil? Will he speak to me because I am older now (15) or will he keep speeking to my mother?


Yes, it was me, can you maybe explain it?
