For as long as I can remember, the full moon has had a very pronounced, profound effect on me. �When I was a little feller, I'd stay up all night--when TV went off the air at 3 am--or want to go outside and play. �Later on, the time of the full moon would be when I'd have my first mystical experiences. �Nowadays I go hiking at night (without a flashlight) and have weird, compulsive housecleaning binges. (No, the full moon's not the only time I clean house.) �I am most creative and energetic. �I pull my best practical jokes. �I embark on daytime hiking and cycling expeditions for which I'm not really in shape. �The new moon, on the other hand, has a depressive effect, but I've learned to offset that with exercise, meditation, diet and avoiding negativity (people). �I just see no reason to temper my full-moon fever. �I look forward to it and embrace it. �Anyone else go through this?

Indeed! and ER workers, and like myself, people who work in home full of older folks, one can def attest to the effects of the FM on people!!  

I myself get antsy and edgy with a FM and if not paying attention, have a major tendency to have the major urge to snap people heads off their not so bright shoulders!!

I don't think that I'm affected by the full moon, and Green Monk uses the affect to a good use.  But, does anyone know why so people seem to be affected in a bad way?  Tempers and emotions flare.

its always been said that cops and ER's are more busy on FM nights also births go up as well! Not counting my own children births but the livestock affected by it as well as far as appetite, attitudes and birthing from what I remember.

Now a days what I notice most is dreams are more vivid, lucid and awake a lOT of the night as well......I have kept dream journals for years now I relly oughta run the dates and the calendars and try to get a % of how much affect the FM has had  maybe......... :roll:

Sounds like a task is at hand Kim!!

I do know folks who have very adverse mood swings during the full moon.  A couple of them don't even make the connection.  Also, almost every school shooting in the past 100 years  has occured on either a full or new moon.
