Improve Your Sleep, Improve Your Life
The human brain and mind have been compared to a computer. Understanding why we dream in symbols is easier when you consider computers. First, there are the parts of the computer you interact with. These include the keyboard, the monitor, and the mouse. In addition, there are the programs you interact with. This would include…
When I was in school there was this kid, Dave. He remembered all of his dreams, so he said. They’d be crazy. They’d have monsters in them, people with no faces, and talking ducks. Every so often he’d keep us entertained before school and at recess with his tales from the night before. Sometimes his…
Dreams are fun but it’s best to acknowledge it and not to get stuck on that aspect. It’s cool when you do something like holding seven men at gunpoint in your dreams. Or when you save a life. Or when you ride a horse really fast. Unfortunately, the long-term dream journaler pseudonymously named “Barb Sanders”…

Dreams can feature crazy scenes or other ones that are fairly humdrum. Why can you have a crazy one that doesn’t seem to make…
We were lucky St. Joseph wasn’t a modern guy with the Internet when God sent him his famous warning dream. Not every technological advance is an actual advance. Small Town, Some Country In the Middle East In An Alternate History, Spring 2023 Joe wakes up to the alarm on his phone. He uses an alarm…
