  • I keep trying to make this comment, then deleting it and trying again because I’m not 100% sure I have a certain behavior, and thinking about thinking is very distracting

    So, I have an inner monologue, mind’s eye and I can change my inner monologue’s voice if I want. I find it easier to organize my thoughts by speaking out loud, although I do not do that unless alone. Looking at a fixed point also helps me filter out whatever’s going on outside to focus on my thoughts inside.





  • I was in my aunt’s house, but it was bigger. I think I was eating a meal with some family members. There was sunlight shining through the windows, although the outside had no details. I remember nothing else that matters.

    Possible reason for this dream: yesterday, at around 9pm, my aunt called me saying she would like to bake a cake for my birthday, which is in some weeks from now. I agreed. Talking to her may have subconsciously reminded me of her home, and the birthday cake may have reminded me of eating and of childhood, explaining why the house was bigger in the dream (I used to go there as a child, and since I was smaller, the house felt bigger).







  • Brazil, urban area, with a health plan (private healthcare)

    I go to the doctor, grab a little paper with a number on it, wait for the number to be displayed on the monitor, go to the reception desk, give them my health plan card and my ID, they give those back to me, I sit back down and wait for the same number to be displayed on a different monitor. Once it’s displayed, I go to the room number shown on the monitor and from there, I discuss what problem I have with an adequate specialist.

    For an unplanned visit, the wait time is usually 5–30 minutes, depending on the hour and season (there are a lot of tourists during summer, meaning longer wait times and more people at the hospital).

    I don’t know about pricing (my parents pay for it), but it’s probably not too expensive since we’ve never had financial problems due to health issues (as far as I’m aware).

    I’ve never not went to the doctor for financial reasons, only for health concerns (worrying about getting sick with something else, specially if the waiting room is full or almost full). Sometimes prescribed medicine can be pretty expensive.


  • Nederlands (Dutch), my native language is Portuguese and I also speak English.

    “Hallo, ik ben Cally en ik spreek een beetje Nederlands.” probably translates to “Hello, I am Cally and I speak a bit of Dutch.”

    I kinda suck at learning languages so I’m still at what I assume is A1 level, I think my pronunciation is ok, though. Idk how to speed up language learning but I have set my phone to Dutch and that kinda helps. For example, “Instellingen” means “Settings”
