Everyone knows me as the shopping princess. My co-workers ask, "Whatcha buy today?" because I even shop online at work. Lately, I've been dreaming about shopping. It's always set in the same magical, enchanted-looking mall, which is an exaggerated combination of the malls I frequented with my mom as a baby (it started at 2 weeks old) through adulthood (I'm 24). Do these dreams mean that it's time to join Shoppers Anonymous?

The very first question I posted was the same thing: I have frequent, reoccuring dreams about shopping in fictional malls, malls that exist, and malls from my childhood.  Click on my icon and look at the responses I got to my question about dreaming about malls and shopping...They're pretty good!\n\nI personally think it has more to do with what a mall or shopping represents to you than a sign that you need professional help.  And if it does mean you need help, then I'll share a couch with you because I can't shake the shopping dreams, either!\n\nPS:  Last night, I dreamt I was buying L.A.M.B handbags and clothes and Dior sunglasses.  Yikes!

I do most of my shopping for any type of holiday online! I'm sometimes just too lazy to go out and shop at the malls and whereever, so yea... online shopping is a great way to shop! And it's fun!

Do you like to shop?  You could focus on two of your favourite stores.  \nDo you have two favourite pairs of jeans.  You could chose those.  I think\nyou are making it harder than it needs to be.  You'll think of something.

My mom.  She is a Target-holic.  I don't think she realizes just how much of her business she gives to them.  She goes in for something simple and leaves the place with a buggy full of stuff (we say buggy in the south).  Sometimes if I'm with her she'll say, "You're not going to get anything?" as if it's implied that entering the store obligates a purchase.  God bless the woman.

Not weird at all!  I've been home since 2002.  Started off, the birth of my last child, and now ended off being medical, had a cornea transplant last december and now about to have the other eye done next month.  I am excited that I should have perfect eyesight beginning next summer, but I am estatic that I may be able to go out and get a job.  Mind you, not a career, my family is my career and I had my own graphic design business, but I mean a J.O.B.  As most career women like yourself, we began working so early and for so long that we don't know how to do nothing.  Alright, so find something to do.  What do you do as a hobby now?  Make it your own career.  Do you know, this million dollar 'make a bear' business started as a hobby?  I'm sure there is something that you like to do everyday that people just know its Your knack.  Take it a parlay it into your new career move.  I'm sure making some money on the side wont hurt either! smile, good luck.

I still like cupcakes(considered kiddie) and coloring books + crayons and animated movies.I'm over 21.I'm big enough to do what I want basically,go where I want,deal with most situations.There are some things I have no experience with,so I'm immature there-I guess-you learn as you go along.I feel  very adult-but still I like cute, younger clothes/music.Younger by a decade.

Hmmm... I think I can recall something. I have dreams about a girl who looks very much like me picking flowers at the base of a large volcanoe when the volcanoe explodes. I don't know if this is a past life or just a weird dream.

I'm not sure what you want here.\nAre you asking individuals to tell you about their shopping styles and buying preferences? Or are you asking people to give you ideas on where you can formally research these topics?

In regards to the commercial, it's just a reference of what an average strange dream may consist of.  Imagine dreaming of Abe Lioncoln and a beaver sitting with you playing poker...lol.  As far as the postcard is concerned, I have no idea.

You really seem like a kind soul. These days people have become selfish and go-getter with no time to spare a thought for another person and here you are wishing for everyone's dream to come true! Great! Well, I like it best when i have dreams at night (which i have most of the nights). The nights without dreams are like so vacuous. I look forward to sleeping at night so that i can see a new dream. For me dream world has much more charm than the real one.

I think if you are Christian it is definitely too commercialized. Otherwise, no. I am not a christian so it doesn't really bother me. I think the earlier stores get ready for the holidays, the faster I can get my shopping done with. And if you think about it, there IS a major emphasis on buying, but most of what is being bought, is being given. So in the end it all works out.

This year, my husband and I decided to do most of our shopping online. That way, we wouldn't have to deal with all the crowds, the pushing, the shoving, etc. We made a plan of what we would buy and for whom, and it ended up being a theme this year to get everyone's gifts (except the kids' toys) through a charity or organization. So far, we have given to Beads for Education (they make beaded items to sell to raise money for girls in Kenya to go to school) Autism Speaks, the ASPCA, Jamestown Museum (they raise money for their archaeological research in Jamestown, Virginia) Big City Mountaineers (they take inner city kids camping, fishing, ect.) Breast Cancer Research (we bought items through Avon...100% of their profits go to the research) the American Cancer Society, College of the Atlantic (they "adopt" whales to people for a year, and the money goes to research on finback whales) World Wildlife Foundation, The Make a Wish Foundation and the USHS. It feels good to give to these organizations who could use the money more than my sister needs a new pair of cheap wal-mart earrings, and you can still get something in return to put under the tree. There are soooooo many more organizations out there that need help, and now is a good opportunity to pitch in. Not to mention that I'm almost done with my christmas shopping, and I didn't have to leave my computer....plus, if you have family members that won't be here this Christmas, you can have something shipped directly to them. My daughter even got into the spirit, and cut a foot of her hair off to give to Locks of Love....and she's only 8 years old...I'm so proud of her for being such a good person.  So, as for being "ready" for the upcoming holidays... I'm about halfway there (I still haven't decorated the house) But I took this opportunity to perhaps give others ideas that would "pay it forward" this year. Good luck to everyone!

Depends.  The one's I've done are not worth your time or money because they want detailed, aptly written descriptions of everything you did on the shop all for a few bucks.  A lot of them want you to purchase something, but they'll reimburse you after the shop.\n\nThen again I hear being a mystery shopper for Hotels.com is a blast.  They put you up in Hotels all around maybe even some ritzy ones.

Have I ever! I was shopping for maternity clothes at nine am on a Saturday in a small shopping strip store when these teenage guys came running in with guns to rob the store! AT NINE AM! A MATERNITY STORE!  There was no cash in the register, there were no other customers, just me, and the clerk.  The one robber sat on the poor clerk and kept waving the gun in her face and saying "I should shoot you cuz you so damn ugly" and she was crying. I was inching toward the door and trying to get away while the other thief was talking to me as nice as could be," So-- when are you due? You want a girl or a boy? Is this your first?" It was just nuts!!!  Then my robber got the other one to agree to leave without hurting us and they ran out the door and got on a bus!!! It was just bizarre.  I swear every word I wrote is the truth.
