When someone posts a thread about depression, or suicide, or hating their life, we assume they are looking for answers. I was going to say something similar in my response to Smartive (about changing his life), but I deleted it. I agree with you, Musicalle, it's human nature to want to reach out to people if it seems like they need help.
I used to hate my life when I was in self destructive mode and made a lot of poor choices. Having my daughter was the turning point, a lot of changes were thrust on me and it was a good thing. I made a lot of positive changes in my lifestyle, where I lived, the people I made friends with, my education. There are areas of my life I am still unhappy with but in general things are good.
"God" is a higher power that is within all of us. It is the source of all human creativity and a positive energy that we can summon if we need it. It is the voice of our conscience and our intuition.
Sometimes a nightmare is just the subconscious releasing the fears that we do not want to think about consciously. The mind likes to purge itself occasionally.
I try to figure out if it means anything. It may parallel something that is going on in your life. I can interpret dreams, but anyone can learn to do their own, just remember that something in the dream that is a personal symbol to you, might mean something entirely different to someone else.
Because maybe she wants to talk about it, or wants some good advice.
Sorry about the job loss, Lorraine, hope something good comes your way soon. When I lost my last job, I applied where I knew I could work at least temporarily while I looked for something else, I've been there over 3 years! (Still looking for something better though...)

I am working on the Harry Potter series, my daughter is coercing me!
Sorry to hear that, Lorraine. I hope you will do something nice for yourself then, rent some good movies, or have a nice bottle of wine. I am grateful that I have my daughter with, and my parents to visit. I will just be glad when the stressful parts (shopping, baking, worrying about money, etc) are over, and when I finish my shift at work on Christmas eve, I will have 3 days off, then I can actually relax and enjoy the holiday.
I never put much stock in it. If you proclaim love too soon (Basing it on looks or first impressions) you are not doing justice to the person. I've never fallen for anyone that quickly.
Every year I find it lessens a bit, but I have always had some degree of depression at this time of year. Nothing to do with being single, just thoughts about family issues, deaths of friends, etc. Having my daughter in my life helps big time. Just wondering if anyone else gets down at Christmas when we are all supposed to be so full of holiday cheer?
It's hilarious, but I wouldn't have made him put on the bunny suit in the first place (unless he wanted to, which he didn't) or bought him the bb gun (he almost did pop his eye out!)
RE: something light
That's hilarious! I used my real name but I won't use it here. I got:...needs some Guinea pigs (I already have one!)
...Needs Some Hints (Don't we all)
...Needs to Talk (about what, guinea pigs?)
