My toy model of fortune-telling: 
Objective: feel better while minimizing interpersonal risk
Procedures: 
1. Obtain a dX die
2. Give it to someone else and they assign each side a result
3. Have them throw it for you

Result Interpretation: 
Good Result: can be accepted as valid for emotional comfort
Bad Result: can be rejected as invalid
Vague Result: able to interpret as anything you want with the responsibility delegated to the fortune-teller

One Indication of bipolar swings is total sleep

Should this have been 'One indication of manic episodes is a total lack of need for sleep'? 'Total sleep' seems like a typo. 
Although this can mostly be inferred through context, this could potentially be misleading.
