It's actually quite amusing when someone is trying to yell because my program reads their text in a high pitched voice! It's very hard to take what they are saying seriously... lol!

I use a screen reading (or text to speech) program. It reads things out to me and I listen to them.

I do dream, but I don't see in my dreams. know what is happening with my other senses in my dreams, and sometimes I just seem to know for no reason at all.

I do have one thing that happens quite frequently in my dreams When I come to stairs in my wheelchair n my dreams I think 'This is silly, why not just walk up o down them. It's easier.' I then proceed to walk up or down the stairs (mostly up for some reason) and then promptly remember I can't walk as soon as I get to the top and collapse in a heap on the floor and usually wake up in a slight panic because my wheelchair is still at the bottom of the stairs and I can't get to it.

(From talking to other people who have spinal cord injuries its pretty common.)

You're welcome, thank you for asking a question! The choices are not as limited as you may think. The biggest hurtle is finding places that are accessible and because my friends don't see me as being 'disabled' they sometimes overlook the obvious.

An example of this happened some weeks ago when a friend and I decided to stop into a pizza place while out. She was halfway up the stairs and asking if I was coming. It took me sitting in my wheelchair in the parking lot (there was no curb cut to even get to the stairs) and going 'Ummm... Don't you see a problem here?' while giving her a minute to think the situation through before she finally got it lol! Meanwhile l of the people who were waiting for their pizza were staring at her in an awkward silence...

I hang out with friends and do the usual things. Watch (or listen to TV or movies), go to concerts and shows, go camping and 'hiking' on trails that I can get to, swim, bowl (using a frame that the ball sits on), eat out, I'm not big on clubs anymore, but don't mind going occasionally etc.

I believe there is something out there be it a God, energy, some other kind of intelligent beings etc. I think it's part of human nature to want to believe in something and that everything don't just end when we die.

Having said that, I also think that everyone should be free to have their own beliefs.
