I think that the dream site is one of the best
I've seen. They don't seem to be trying
to sell any concept or idea really. They really
seem to be trying to totally understand what
depression is about. I think that this
understanding will help me not relapse.
It's kinda complicated, but the concept that
how one's perception of reality can completely
affect your health even into your unconcious
state. Well I think there's probably alot to that.
I also don't remember my dreams now that
I've been taking maoi's for a few months.
Here's another interesting link on learning
and sleep. I think that the key to beating
depression lies in learning how to reinterpret
the perception process. I need to focus on
relearning my thought process while the
drugs are working. That's probably why
therepy plus drugs works better than either
on it's own. The drugs act like starter fluid.
But you'll burn the engine out if you try to
run it on starter fluid all the time. I think
the learned cognitive skills is the unleaded.
Anyway, here's the link. Kinda hard to read.
