    The test seem to vary based on location. Many of us can probably tell you what our test where. I’ll do the same. But my advice might be to assume nothing.

    Mine was done remotely about a year ago. so that may have affected it. They asked I bring some items, dice, coins, paperclips, amd some other similar common items. I went in assuming it was to see how I might fidget with stuff. But they had me tell a story using the items as characters. This was very difficult for me as I was super tired at the time and had 0 creativity. I then assumed they’d have excepted me to be able to do this easily but it seems my creativity wasnt what they where testing.

    I was unusually tired since I had to travel to my mom’s place in a differnt city so she could be part of the test. Also my moms new kittens managed to chew through the power cable of the laptop I brought with me meaning I needed to (during a 15 min break) install a Webcam and zoom on my moms old pc, all while she was panicking so during the second half of the test I was beat red, sweaty, tired, and suffing a massive migrine. So if yours is remote, have a plan B and all your computer stuff up to date. Also keep kittens away from your power cords.

    Very cool. My only source was Reds video (overly sarcastic productions) it stuck with me just how old that story is and how many times it’s been retold for differnt purposes.

    Also makes you wonder what the myths of the distant future will be. Will these flood myths remain or will it be like the myths of Homer the Simpson.







  • I’ve had these. Usually related to those I am close with. Dreams of bad things happening to them or dreams of intense jealousy. They make me wake up in a panic. I’m 37 now but only been getting help I the last year or so.

    My therapist advised me that (at least in my case) these don’t nessary reflect who I am in waking world. the reasons these dreams disturb me is because they counter my views of myself.

    It’s like if I dream of myself committing a grievously violent murder and I wake up disturbed. That doesn’t mean I have a desire to hurt people it means the opposite.

    Your own case may be different but you can’t really stop bad dreams. Dreams are a symtomn of bad sleep so you can work on improving that. What you can do is learn how to process a dream and have it affect you less negatively.

    Good luck.
