is it the dreams of guilt ? Like the filthy house I lived at where my dear Grandmother's died because both me, my Aunt, and everyone else there were too lazy to clean up the big mess ? Last night I had another dream about trying to clean up that house and guess what ? Both of my Grandmothers are still alive :(

Could it be the sinking into your own reality where you go to escape the hell of the world of today ? I'm sick of hearing news of people ignoring those who need help and all these stupid ass debates about Santa Clause being racially insensitive as well as lawyers taking on cases for the money and not what's right but legal ...

I miss the years before 2012, before the world seemed to went to hell after everything that happened early in 2012 till now . I suspect I'll be insane in maybe a couple of years ...

Your dreams sound like normal processing of unpleasant realities you went through. Your desire to hide from the world's insanity shows you have a heart and soul. I suggest watching comedy, reading subjects that are interesting, uplifting or fun to you, doing things you like, rather than paying too much attention to the news, which is designed to keep everyone scared and depressed. Then you are less likely to go insane.

Personally, I would think you'r pretty insane if you didn't feel the way you feel. I know when my dad died I felt personally responsible. It didn't help that the last words out of his mouth were "that boy sure loves me a lot."....Like if he hadn't said that, he wouldn't of choked when the heart attack hit....but, honestly, I know my dad wouldn't want me to feel pain when I think on him....and that helps.

I highly doubt your grandmother's would want you to feel pain when you think of them..

And the world went to hell in 2001......but that's my opinion, I could be wrong. ;)

You know you're insane when you loose sight of how wrong your actions are. No matter how briefly, because that is all it takes.

Sanity is an illusion, we're all insane. No one wants to admit it, but the whole basis for Human Evolution and getting from where we where as apes to the Humans we all love and know today was grounded in insanity. We wake up feeling different everyday because we can't tolerate the same feeling every day. We go to work despite work being a driving force for depression in most people's lives. We do mundane, repetitive, and sometimes meaningless jobs, despite the fact that nearly a day of work, school, and life in general will be the same as yesterday. That's why we are all insane, everyone is doing something that they know they have to do, even if they don't want to. Worst of it is they will most likely be doing the same things years and years from now. There is no way to really break from it or get away from it, it effects us all. The best you can really try to do is cope.

probably when you get to the point you are insane someone will point it out at you
