Just wild: I have seen two people that were diagnosed with D.I.D. and this is true! I'm not sure about becoming diabetic as a personality changes but the physiological changes in body language/movements, rapid eye movements, one person's scent changed slightly and that was pointed out by a psychiatrist to us (CO's) as a trigger for her violent episodes coming.
[h=3]9. Multiple Personality Disorder[/h]
Multiple personality disorder, or dissociative identity disorder, is a mental condition that’s interesting on many levels. Perhaps most intriguing of all is how some sufferers not only exhibit personality and behavior changes as they switch between their different identities, but some also have measurable physiological variations between each persona. For instance, one of a patient’s personalities may need eyeglasses and another won’t. Or, one identity might be diabetic and another will have perfect health. In such cases, it isn’t simply a matter of the patients thinking they need eyeglasses or insulin, their bodies actually go through legitimate alterations, such as differences in intraocular pressure or blood sugar levels.
In one case, published by the American Psychiatric Press, a doctor noted how medications prescribed to a dissociative identity disorder patient had different effects depending on what “personality” took the drug. For example, when a tranquilizer was given to the person’s childish persona, it made the individual sleepy and relaxed. However, when the adult personality was administered the same drug it made him anxious and confused. Similar results were found with other patients and with a variety of different medications. Doctors even noticed visibly apparent traits, like lazy eye, would come and go depending on which personality was present.
This phenomenon is especially fascinating since no one, including the patients, is claiming mysticism is at work. On the contrary, it is a genuine example of the mind altering the body.

Really cool picture! I believe in dreams, unfortunately only the bad dreams that I've had have ever remotely come true in some shape or form and I wonder if that's because it's inevitable situations. When I was 11, I went to Scotland for the time for a wedding (my dad's side) and my granny was in terrible shape-this was May. While there I started having the nightmares that she would die on my birthday in July. My parents sent me back to Scotland for the month of July and sadly my nightmare came true-my granny died on my 12th birthday as I was hugging her goodbye in hospital and said, "There's one from each family here, I can go!" My dad's two brothers and his sister were there with me-I was my dad's surrogate that day!
Sadly, I've had 6 other bad dreams (nightmares) if you will that did happen. It's about time for a good dream! I'm gonna dream my numbers come up for Friday's Lotto Max!:biggrin2:
I think this is cool picture too.
[h=3]6. Dreams Cause Real Injuries[/h]
There are a lot of stories floating around out there about people who experienced an injury in their dreams and then found real, physical evidence of the wound on their bodies once they awoke. For instance, some people have claimed to have been caught in a fire in their dreams and then woke up to find burn marks on their skin. Other common stories involve people being attacked during their dreams and then waking up to find scratch marks somewhere on their bodies. However, most of these stories are found in chat rooms or message boards, so it’s hard to corroborate if they are true.
But, there is one well documented case, reported by famed psychiatrist Ian Stevenson, about an Indian man named Durga Jatav who, during a battle with typhoid fever, had an extremely vivid dream about being held captive in another realm. To keep him from escaping, his dream captors cut his legs off at the knee. Unfortunately, his legs were already severed by the time the captors realized they had the wrong man and didn’t need to keep Jatav after all. When Jatav asked how he could leave with no legs, they offered him several pairs of legs, he picked out his own pair, and then they were miraculously reattached.
While Jatav was having the dream, his body became very cold and at one point his family thought he was dead, yet he revived a few days later. Once he was awake, his sister and neighbor noticed deep fissures around his knees that weren’t there previously. X-ray photographs showed no abnormality below the surface of the skin, which led Jatav and his family to believe the marks came from his dream experience. Dr. Stevenson met Jatav some 30 years later (1979) and took pictures of the still visible scars. Although Stevenson did not witness the event, he apparently believed the story, which was confirmed by all involved, and he even included the account and photographs in his book “Reincarnation and Biology: A contribution to the Etiology of Birthmarks and Birth Defects.”
Obviously there’s no scientific proof to this intriguing account, but it’s not too far-fetched considering what we already know about the power of the brain over the body.

I completely believe in the Sports Visualization theory and that could be utilized in studying for exams as well as many other situations.
