One night, you get up in bed cause you need to go to the CR, while walking going to the CR, you saw a mirror, and then you go in front of the mirror and shocked of what you saw. A monster in front of the mirror. What will you do?
Will you run? Hide? Scream? Fight? Think? Laugh? or Pee on your undies?

I would say "How do you do?" and offer the monster a cookie and a glass of milk. It could be like the story of the Beauty and the Beast. The monster might have a kind heart and even a bit of learning. If they monster did not accept my offer of friendship, however, I would shoot it.
Of course I am talking about a supernatural monster because no other kind of monster would be able to get in. My doors and windows are quite secure and also I do live in a gated community. Only residents are allowed and certainly no monsters.

You are so good, and kind. You show the side being being a very good friend, but once you've been betrayed, you will be a monster at heart. We saw ourselves in the mirror not the monster, by that first impression, it shows the personality of you, being a good friend and a kind person, that no matter what the looks of the people, no matter what he is, where he is, or what is he doing, you will still accept the person. That is also the reason why there are lots of people who are willing to fight with you till the end of their breath. Have a nice day.

Hiya drannhh,
Now there´s a nice way to welcome anyone Monsters and all. But what if the Monster is one of those capable of coming up through your Bathroom Pipes or Toilet like that one in the "X Files".
Would plug your Bath and the Toilet Seat chained down. Just kidding the way you would greet your monster is original. I said I would pull faces at mine because he might be more frightened of me.

Hahahaha, you see your self as a good person and as a kind one. It interprets the real personality of you, being a good person who knows what to do the right things right.
It seems that, you are very friendly and you do not judge others as what you see in them but, you look deeper inside of them.
Have a nice day.

Hi RJ,
This happened to me. When i went down to pee, i happened to pass by the mirror and saw something in there. i was so scared and could not utter a word. i've been calling all the saints plus praying for guidance...i later on realized that it's my reflection. whew!
But if ever i will see a real monster, i will scream to the top of my voice that my husband and other family members will hear me. then after that, it will a fainted me. my family will just tell me what happened after wards.

When you deal with problems and with yourself being an angry monster at heart, you always pray for it to subside. That is a very good sample of being a good person who will ask for help with others and with God, if you do not know what to do. I am sure you believe in the saying, one can do may but many can do better. You value your family so much and they also do the same for you. You are quite when you are angry, and then after wards it will subside, with the power of prayers and your ability to control yourself fully, the big damage will now have zero probability.

wow that's a good interpretation of my response. that's me--really me my friend. i am slow to anger and when i do i am so quite about it that sometimes nobody knows that i am already angry. i always have a way of releasing my anger. i tried not to make any situation worst for my act. thanks. this is another cool discussion from you!

I got you again my friend. hahahahaha, the real focus of this discussion is not really about monsters literally but us being a monster when we commit mistake and when we are angry. Sometimes us people, and that includes me, we often commit mistakes and hurt people without noticing it. And it is really hard, and i put this topic so that we people can reflect about the things that we have mistakenly than and cope up with it. Have a nice day.

First of all, i'll look closely if that monster might be me and save the effort of screaming and running like an idiot for nothing. If it happens to be me, i'll laugh and say to myself,
"look at yourself. Tossing and turning and now look what happened to you and your hair, time to get a comb and tidy up"

You are a person who always look back to where you came from and that is a very good indication that you are a good person.
If ever there are mistakes committed, you make it sure that you will do something just to cope up with things.
You always put your pride down and that makes you a human being with a heart of gold.
Have a nice day!

Depends on the monster. If it looks like a threat, as in it is going to kill me, then I will kill it first, but if it looks friendly, I will befriend it.

I think that looks are deceiving. I don't judge the monster based on appearance, but based on it's actions.

You are right about that, that is why i said mirror, cause when we look at the mirror, we not only see our physical appearance but as well as our inner personalities when we critically think. We are remembering what are the things that we've done and what are the things that makes us happy. And things that we do not know that we did, unconsciously. Have a great day.

You know how to fight for yourself and for your freedom, you will do anything just to prove that you are right, but if ever you will be proven wrong, you will do anything just to cope up and make things better and even to put down your pride to apologize to others and that makes you a good person. Have a great day

I have enough sense never to look in a mirror until I've had my third cup of coffee, I wouldn't look even in my sleep. No one in their right mind would want to
see what I would see if I looked there before I was washed, combed and made up, of course dressed is a big part of this.

You are the type of person who do not judge others by it's outer appearance, more likely you look at the person inner self, cause that is the real beauty of the person. Looking deep and widely makes you a good person at heart. You also make it sure that you will look into your own mistakes before looking to others. Have a great day.

I would close my eye for a little bit and then look again in the mirror. If I still saw a monster I would tell myself I need to get more sleep. Then I would just go back to bed after getting back from the CR. Things will look better when I get up later in the morning.

Do you have a stressful life? It seems that you really need to get more sleep so that you will be refreshed. People who have not enough sleep sometimes become monster at heart. You are a person who will deal with things democratically and as much as possible avoid things that is not necessary for living. Have a great day ahead!

Hiya rjvb,
My first instinct would be to run as quick as I could like most People.
Where would I run to? I have not thought about that one either.
Of course I would be scared as well.
Being rather rational and with a sense of humour I might well pull faces at it that might frighten it away.
Monsters in your Dreams are much more scary for me.

Hiya rjvb,
You are right that´s about it.
As there are all kinds of Monsters that haunt us from time to time I think I would rather be friends with Godzilla.!!! Or maybe King Kong because they are Monsters we know and more or less we know what they are capable of doing.
Now something like the Chukie Monster (the murderous Doll) is a different kettle of fish altogether real scary.
Another one is I think it´s called "Alien"? he we call it Xtro that is something to be reckoned with.
I find "Predator" much more friendly than "Alien".

You are right, we people often thinking of, it is better to see a real monster than to see our own becoming a monster at heart. We people are intelligent and can think rationally or irrationally. We have the capability of destroying ones life unnoticeable. A monster can scare us, but a human with a heart of monster can kill us and they can hurt us not only physically but also emotionally.

When you are angry or become mad, do you just go and let your anger subside, then move on? That is what i saw in your answers. You often avoid, very much big problems that is why in your own way, you control yourself. When you are angry, you just voind becoming much angry and be in a fight cause you know that the damage will not be minimal. You can control yourself well and that is good, but you are also afraid when the time comes that you will not be able to control your own emotions.

I was not aware that such a simple question have deeper meanings. Are you a psychologist or taking up psychology at least? because not everyday do we come across these type of discussions. It seems like a very innocent question but there is a deeper meaning underneath . I recall one of the team building i attended where we were required to draw ourselves and our dream house etc. It was fun, sad thing is we were unable to find out what our drawings really mean. But thanks for the interpretation. Cheers!

I am impressed! I can say that you know yourself better than others, and you are confident enough to say to the world that you are a good person and a beautiful person inside and out. You are a very simple person that knows what is best for herself and knows how to do the right things right.
We are sometimes a monster at heart, but when we look at the mirror, it can still be changed if we will reflect and think on how to cope up with things that we have done wrong in the past.
You are great! Have a nice day!

Thanks for your comment. It is true. I am confident that I am beautiful because I believe that we are all created wonderfully and beautifully according to the image of God. ;-)

I think I would most likely slap myself to see if maybe I was dreaming, if not then I would surely scream, and even more so if said monster was me. I may pee my pants as well, and I'd definitely try to hide...
If the monster wasn't me, then I'd be sure to try to fight if it had a hold on me, but if not I'd go back to what I said before which is to hide.
CR? Is that the bathroom?

it is really sad when we see that we have been a monster ourselves, and it can be scary realizing this and difficult to change back into a better person, if it's even possible.

It is really sometimes scary to see ourselves the other way around rather than seeing a monster literally. Sometimes, we do not know that we are already a type of person who are very mean and still continue of what we are doing.
You know how to fight for the right and for the truth and nothing but the truth. You know what will happen if you will not do something. You know how to fight for your freedom and freewill and that makes you a better person. It's just that sometimes you do not know how you can express yourself cause you still do not know the real you and the other side of you.

A monster in front of the mirror??? But I am also in front of the mirror...?? Are you sure the monster is not me???
Well if it is not me and I am not just halousinating or something, I will surely run... and scream and call for help especially if it runs after me... I will also try to grab anything for self defense...

Wow! Is this some kind of personality or psychological test? I honestly didn't know that there is a meaning behind this question... Well then thank you for sharing and telling me the meaning of it.
But yes, I admit. You have a good point there. It is somehow true for sometimes I am in doubt of my capabilities... And very true indeed, I am always trying my best not to disappoint or make my love ones sad...
Thanks!

A very nice guess, but you aren't sure with your answers, it means, you are not still sure of your true personality and capabilities. Admit it or not, it is the hard truth about ourselves, there are things that we do not know, that we have already done, and the only ones noticing it are other people. But you know, you are a good person, cause you will fight for your life no matter what. You will fight for your freedom so that the people who loves you the most will not be sad.
We either see ourselves or others in front of the mirror, it maybe us who have things that we think is needed to be correct or it may be people who have come across your life and trying to destroy you. But no matter what it is, i see you as a person who is trying her very best to cope up with things and teach other people not to mess with you.
Have a nice day.

You are right, it will differ, depending upon the person who will perceive it and react to it.
We saw our own selves in the mirror therefore we have a high chance of seeing the good side and the bad side of us that is hidden beneath to our soul.
I admire yo for being a person who have full faith and beliefs to his religion, but the most important thing is that, people need to learn to believe in a God/Supreme Being/Allah that will be on our side whenever we need him the most.
Have a great day.

Hi. When I was young, I have seen many monsters...in dreams. And in those dreams, I would run, run, and run...in place. Also, I would scream, scream, and scream...with no voice coming out of my lips. So weird! Every time I woke up, I don't know why but I would be so tired. As if I did run and scream for real.
So I hope that I don't see real ghosts/monsters. I might really run in place and scream without voice coming out of my lips.

Hi friend, it seems that you already met different people who are really a monster at heart. It is really hard when we encounter those kind of person. Sometimes we do not know what to do and we will just cry in one side feeling so helpless. There are people who do not care for others, they just want their goals to be achieved and nothing less, even if they know that they may/can hurt a person, they still do not care, and that makes them a monster at heart.

Is it the meaning of my childhood dreams? I think what you've said are true. When I was young, I used to fear my two aunts and other cousins because they bully me and our family. They did many crazy things to pull us down. And I really hated them so much. But that was long ago. Somehow, we've earned their respect after I become a professional. Well, sad truth of life...

I see you have very deep imagination and you have a very good critical thinking skills. You are a person who is very friendly and open to your feelings. You always see the good only to other people, not the bad side of it, and that makes you a good person and a much better individual in the future.
Thank you so much for the response and have a great day.
