    Dreams are the pressure valve of the mind, hate to bring it to you but you are perfectly sane.

    Crazy dreams are one of the few things that keep me sane.

    don't hate that-that's good news.

    but what I really want to know is: does it have any meaning? what does it say about the state of my sub-conscience?

    Arabs and Berber (a collection of diffrent indigenous people) are the largest ethnic groups, not sure which is the largest group of the two.

    North Africans are typically closer related to Berbers than Arabs, but they are two sides of the same coin.

    the people along the coast a mix of Arabs, settlers from other areas, and berbers. the desert is purely Berber territory. the reason that is so is because the Arabs settled in the cities after they had conquered them. they even founded a few: Qayruwan, in Tunis, and Tunis city itself, are both Arab in origin. they also settled in Lybia, Tunis, morocco, Mauritania, western sahara, and even Spain, siciliy, and malta (hence the language known as maltese). but it is worth pointing out that they were never the majority-just a minority that influenced their neighbors.

    as a result, Algerians do speak arabic-allbeit a dialect that is unintelligeable to me (my dialect is a levantine one). and no, you don't have to be from the peninsula. I'm considered an Arab, since I'm descended from Arabs who, if I get my grandparents, settled in northern Iraq, and later Palestine/Israel. they also mentioned that the founder of my family, Zallum, fought in Saladin's Army. there is also a place in Saudi Arabia with that name.

    They also have a lot of french loanwords, which of course makes it more complicated to understand.
    BTW you can trace your linage to the middle ages?! You're a lucky one.

    As I said you are sane, you realize that women are from outer space and can't be thrusted trusted
