NLP is a modelisation of our subconscious structures and processes, in short "how do we know what we know", "how do we feel what we feel", "what makes us react in a certain way". The best site on it is : http://www.nlpu.com

: What is NLP? Is that something like the relative importance of our senses? It has an L in it, something about how we learn best? If it's about learning, it's hard to say for me. The more enthusiastic I get in general, the better my learning capacity is, whether I am enthusiastic about what I am learning or about something else; thus, I learn best in situations where I can verbally participate. In school, it's a lot easier for me to be alert in class and learn most of the material during lectures rather than study afterwards, but only in classes where I am comfortable and can actively participate. So, maybe kinesthetic first because of the need to DO something while learning. Come to think of it, I can memorize long lists of things REALLY fast if I write them down a few times; kinesthetic is first. Then, I guess that visual and auditory follow, about tied.

: When I dream strong, it is rare, and I enjoy most strong dreams very much. I have other ways of dreaming that are just as satisfying - there is one where I wake up and feel great, and as if I have been asleep for a LONG time, and I have only vague memories of my dreams, which are tinted brick red for some reason - but strong dreams are delicious when I am actually in them, and the memory is nice.

: As a matter of fact, the thing about sound in dreams - I don't really have very much sound in my dreams. Most of it is just words. I guess that's because much of the time I don't pay a whole lot of attention to sounds, whereas sights and sensations and emotions are important to me.

: I dunno where you got the impression that I said that nightmares are a response to a situation involving conflict. I wouldn't say that's wrong, I just don't think I said it. My nightmares (I only have a few to draw on, only 3 I can think of immediately including the 2 strong ones - most of my dreams deal with what I am learning, ex. when I was playing a lot of chess on the MSN Gaming Zone, my dreams were actually chess games, just as they appeared on the Zone) are usually induced by physical discomfort, but I have heard other people say that conflict causes their nightmares. Maybe it's because of my detachment from the world as a 5w4 that conflicts in the world cause me stress but almost never fear, and thus never can generate nightmares.

: My other strong nightmare will be posted near this response.
