QUESTION # 6

A few interesting facts for you:

• People who become blind after birth can see images in their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound, smell, touch and emotion.
• A full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and white.
• If you dream about some particular subject it is not often that the dream is about that. Dreams speak in a deeply symbolic language. The unconscious mind tries to compare your dream to something else, which is similar.

As you’ve probably noticed – we are talking about dreams.
I dream a lot – sometimes even when awake. Hahaha
But no seriously, I tend to remember most of my dreams and sometimes I can remember dreams from years ago. In most of my dreams I am able to fly but haven’t been able to do that for a while. Lately I have been dreaming a lot about Europe. The reason why I am dreaming about it, is that I am finally going back home visiting for Christmas. I haven’t seen my family for almost 2 years. So, that’s going to be a lot of fun. I guess dreams are a way to process our daily happenings but also emotions – such as my excitement finally being able to spend Christmas with my family.

Now to our weekly question:

  2. Tayter-Tot,
    Did you study history the day before or that night? I am currently taking my last class at BSU and I am taking Criminal Justice Statistics...I had a dream that I communicated with people in formulas and that was the only way to organize things - through formulas. I guess I am overwhelmed with statistics.

  3. I tend to not remember my dreams but when I do they are very very very weird and odd and I usually think "did I dream that?" or "That was a dream?"

  6. Diana,
    Thanks for sharing! Have you read Fablehaven, watched Pirates of the Caribbean and Romeo and Juliet few days before that? This might have inspired you?
