Best of the week: Dreams, dreams, dreams...

Tuesday, I guess, in Psychology class, we talked about the brain specifically the power of sleep. Our teacher kept on going and going about the brain and as the usual, my senioritis was just pulling me down.  And then we started talking about dreams. She said that dreams happen when the brain starts to pick up the things that happened to you that day and then the brain starts to make sense to it. For example, today you played Pokemon, you went driving, you kicked a dog, and you kissed the toilet seat. Now, the brain will all mash them all together and make a story using those things that happened to you. The dream might look like this "You were playing Pokemon while driving on the street when suddenly a dog goes in front of your car. You went out of your car and started kicking the dog because you are late for a date with the toilet seat yearning to be kissed by it" yeah, something like that. We also talked about the fact that we can control our own dreams. A study in Harvard(?) said that, if you kept on looking at the clock every hour and said the time continuously and consciously, then you would somehow check out the clock while you are dreaming, and by that, you can manipulate your dream! It has not happened to me yet, but maybe it will happen tonight. Isn't it awesome? Manipulating dream would be like being God for once in a while. But I guess that I should be careful to what I wish for, right?
