Because learning about your brain and sleep can be fun . . .
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”…
Anything can happen in a dream. Anything often does. One of those things that happen in dreams—unlike real life—is what dream researchers have come to call “character transformations.” In the collected dreams of a pseudonymous dream journaler whom Calvin Hall referred to as “Barb Sanders” these character transformations were fairly common. Hall estimated they occurred…
Part 1/6 Scientists who study dreams can know a lot about their subjects, especially if they interview their friends and family, and really “dive deep” into their lives and writings. Even so, they can’t possibly know as much as the person being studied themselves. This is forgotten and the study of dreams is misapplied too…
People have had warning dreams for centuries, probably ever since there’s been people. It’s part of being human. Will the fate come to pass? Probably not.

When it comes to AIs, humans might end up replaced in many different career paths, from artist to driver, to writer. One area where we humans need not worry about replacement is dream interpretation, though several companies are offering AI-guided dream interpretation. AI’s won’t have the insight to adequately understand and interpret your dream as…
You could have dreamed anything at all, anything you could have imagined. Why did you dream about your everyday life? What seems like a slice-of-life dream might hold a deeper meaning. 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…
Should you set the alarm or wake up naturally? When someone sets an alarm clock, there’s fear at work: fear of missing work, school, or whatever. The fear may be warranted. If you go to bed too late, you’ll be tired in the morning. Do that every day and you’ll set yourself up for long-term…
A dream about quitting shows how easy it is, yet not necessarily simple. Quitting anything seems easy. Throw the keys (or whatever) down dramatically and say, “That’s it! I quit.” A recent dream showed how quitting wasn’t that way at all. The message: “Don’t give up!” Any dream where you dream about quitting something deserves…
