Esta un problema...?
umm...I'm kind of having the urge to ask this for some odd reason, but what do you think it means if a 19 year old male is sleeping with a teddy bear (and when I say "teddy bear" I mean teddy bear).
I don't think it's as much of a security thing as a comfort thing and I'm not 100% dependent on it (I can sleep over a friend's house without it). That can be seen as a security thing, but I don't know.
I sleep fully clothed (i.e. underwear, shorts(summer)/pajama pants(winter), and t-shirt and when I'm really cold I'll have a jacket or zip up hoodie). I sleep on my side kind of curled up (it can get into fetal position but only when I'm really cold or feel really scared (which doesn't happen often) and I can almost be straight on my back if it's too hot, but I always end up on my side).
When I sleep with it, I'm obviously hugging it, but only my arms are layed over it, sometimes I'll be hugging it completely (as in, hands touching it) but most of the time not. And sometimes I'll lose it, but unknowingly, seeing as I tend to toss when I sleep, though not too much, only a few times (3-5 on average). If I am to wake up in the middle of the night and not have it, I will look for it until I find it.
Another thing that may be of interest is that I don't usually remember my dreams (which I think means I come out of REM sleep at least a half hour before I wake up...(psychology)).
If anyone has any idea what this may mean subconsciously or personally input is encouraged. This is meant to be a more serious discussion, so just saying "you're wierd" isn't necessary...
