Hi everyone, my local aboriginal centre is holding a sorry day ceremony on the 26th. It’s open to everyone and I’d like to attend. I’m just unsure of what to wear, I know it’s probably a silly question but should I wear black? Or would smart casual be okay. I also thought about bringing some flowers.
And my famous caramel slice but I’m unsure if that would be appropriate. I’d be very grateful for any insight or opinions. Thank you so much x

Hi everyone, I have a significant health issue that gives me chronic pain. I was on pregabalin but it makes me sleep and I gained a ton of weight. I was thinking about trying medical cannabis, I particularly have trouble sleeping at night because of pain. I’m finding the whole thing very overwhelming. There’s so many places and so many websites and I have no idea where to even start. I don’t know if I should
Go to my gp (she’s kinda conservative with her prescribing) or if I should try an online store and if so what one? I can’t smoke it because I have bad lungs. I’m in western Sydney, if anyone would be kind enough to push me in the right direction I’d greatly appreciate it.

How do you guys sleep at night? Like what positions/ do you use any special pillows or tools to get comfortable? My kyphosis and scoliosis in my back make my hips and lower back KILL! I even have pain in my dreams, I’m wondering if anyone has any tips to help! :) thanks

Any advice for stopping nightmares, it’s never really been an issue for me but I’ve had Like two very graphic ones in a week. I’m getting nervous to go to sleep! The more unhinged the better! I’ll do anything at this point. Thank you!

UPDATE: I did a bit of googling and I’m actually on doxycycline right now and apparently it can give you very graphic, violent nightmares. So I’m probably just gonna stop it (it’s for my acne, but honestly clear skin is not worth this)

Hi everyone, I had this nightmare and I don’t know what it means or why my brain would send me this. I hope I make sense because I'm not too keen on re-reading this.

Some information: I have a great relationship with my dad; he has never hurt me. Nor has any other man. That being said, the nightmare starts in a 70s-style home, with big floor-length windows and a big staircase, kinda like the home in The Brady Bunch. Vibes. I'm viewing the dream from an observer's perspective.

 This young woman is running through this entryway, and she's running for her life. Behind her is this man, and he's chasing her. He smashes through the window, grabs her from the side and throws her down to the ground, and she's screaming and thrashing and then he starts to eat her, he tears her apart, and he eats her from the ankles up. He’s chewing on her ankles and then goes up and up and up, eating the rest of her body. Then the dream changes, and it’s just a bunch of different scenarios of men hunting down women in this house and eating them.

  I'm watching this and thinking why is this happening? Then I watched this man explain that “she just smells so good I couldn't help myself” (I don’t know if anyone has seen Bones and all with Timothee Chalamet, but it was like that). The way he was explaining it, it was like he wasn't exactly totally human; there was something inside him that was insidious.

 Then I was in my room, but it wasn't my bedroom in real life, just in the dream. There was a knock on the door, and I jumped up, grabbed a pen, and held it like a weapon. Then, my dad came in the door, he said, “I need to talk to you”, and I said, “What do you need to talk about?” and I was nervous, like I didn’t trust I was safe. he goes “I need to tell you that you smell really good, I have this desire to eat you and I can't stop” and I said “please don’t eat me” and he basically said “what happens is what's going to happen, I can't control myself” and so I shut the door and I thought ‘oh my fucking God, he's going to kill me, he's gonna eat me like I watched that girl get eaten’

 Then some time passes, he knocks on the door again, he comes and sits down, like he’s had some time to reflect and “go sit down, let me talk to you” I’m nervous because I don’t know what’s about to happen, I’m scared. He says to me, “I just want you to know that I love you and I would never hurt you 'cause you're my daughter, I want to eat you, I have that urge within, but just know that because I love you I won't” he was very serious, like he believed what he was saying, but I didn’t. I did not feel reassured at all

It was just awful because just watching the girl thrash, fight for her life, as this man just tore her apart. I woke up feeling very dazed and confused. I kind of felt violated after what I witnessed. I don’t know what it means or why I would dream anything like that. I love my dad; he’s never hurt me before. I have no reason to think about him that way. I just feel very confused, if anyone has any analysis id really appreciate it
