So you've scratched the Miracles book reports?

People are welcome to review the book but I have moved on from that book. I am reading other things now.

Is there any research that connects hearing voices with some kind of dream state mental activity?

[melsbasketcase]

I don't know but that is how my sister described it. I think they think the speech area of the brain is active when hallucinating.

Rumspringa is a really good book. I recommend you check out a similar documentary called, "The Devil's Playground."

I like the lighting in your last few vids.... very dramatic and flattering.

You are the poster child for charming.

Shunning from what I understand was a form of humiliation to shame the member into possibly returning to the faith. If they were excommunicated from their religion, shunning would be still used but for a different purpose since the person then would not be Amish. Of course each Order has slightly different rules and practices...regards...

I don't quite understand how the Amish reconcile an emphasis on forgiveness in some cases (like they talk about for the shooter in that rampage a few yrs ago), versus "shunning" members of their own community who they judge to have broken rules. They have some rationalization for shunning that I skimmed over in the book "Amish Grace", but it didn't make sense to me.

I haven't heard about that connection, but I know a lot of anti-psychotic and anti-depressant meds mention that they cause more dreams as a side effect.

I have a theory that everyone has dreams when they hit the right level of sleep, but can't always remember them. Could be wrong. That's the way it seems to work with me. I only remember them when I wake up in the middle of them, and the details fade quickly from my memory even then.

Dr. Amador in SZ magazine says something like 50% of people with schizophrenia don't have insight into their problem, and about half of the people with insight decide not to take their medications regularly. I'm glad you're in the portion that has insight and takes meds regularly.
