In the article, “Aggression in Nightmares and Unpleasant Dreams and in People Reporting Recurrent Nightmares”, the authors, Patrick McNamara, April Minsky, Victoria Pae, Erica Harris, Edward Pace-Schott, and Sanford Auerbach, talked about a study preformed in order to test the hypothesis that aggression levels would vary significantly with content of nightmares and unpleasant dreams. They used unique data sets from Dream Board and Survey Monkey, asking participants to report reoccurring nightmares. Narrowing down their findings from 49,000 to 905, they labeled each remaining dream in specific categories: aggression, anxiety, and intimacy. They used scales to measure each of these categories in the dream, and also to detect the source, the type, and the targets of the aggression.…
When I am dreaming, I sometimes am not sure if I am awake or dreaming, but when I am awake I know I am not dreaming. In dreams, I feel like I am not in control of what is happening, I am the observer. I sometimes know I am dreaming because I do things I would not normally do in real life. In dreams, things do not always make sense, like a movie skipping. In real life, this is not the case.…
Persistent Dreams "Thence, the disquieted times advertised extreme measures", and the writer opens his eyes; however, their pictures return and this daylight infiltrates a room from its minuscule interstices. When an age dies the shades inundate our lines; as stalkers became visible to the public eye, pulling the pretext of a violent childhood, moreover, families emerged from every publicised niche. These false lovers, therefore, leave these images in the lonesome tower; and you snarl at the visages which you become accustomed. As they study each other for conflicting reasons, again, they robbed the myth from the surge which bred it. Hence, love lived in a desert home as morality turned into its bait and deviled…

Sleep is, perhaps, one of the most confounding aspects of humanity, even to this very day. There is a host of theories as to why humans require sleep, as well as a similar variety of theories as to why sleep brings dreams. Some say that they are simulations - a means originally produced by the brain to help humans prepare for particular events they have yet to encounter in reality. Others say it is to de-stress the mind, to unravel the complicated webs of data collected through our senses throughout the day. Regardless of the specifics, I have always been a dreamer, and a vivid one at that.…
The Dreaming is a perpetual concept underpinning Aboriginal Spirituality and culture that is inexorably connected with the Indigenous Australian fundamentality of land and identity. This multifaceted system that is symbolic of the central spiritual beliefs regarding creation and existence is submerged and has an intrinsic attachment to the land and identity of Indigenous Australians. The dreaming is embedded in land and has formed a strong sense of identity and validation from the setting of the land in which the dreaming and dreamtime stories are communicated, and subsequently provokes a sense of connection on a communal basis through the differentiating dreaming stories amongst tribes. The line “I only stand straight, happy and not ashamed…
Can you imagine waking up in the morning with no heater or air conditioning, no lamps or electronic light and also the worst of all no cell service? You would think to yourself, how am I going to survive. Well, you will survive but things that are as simple as making time to go to the grocery store and turning up the heater when you are cold will be a lot more difficult and time-consuming. For example, getting food for the week was not going to the store and putting your food in the refrigerator or freezer, you had to go to the farm on a horse-drawn carriage. Also, they could not buy eggs, milk, or cheese for a week's worth.…
Under some optimistic views, this securitized instrument were believed to diversify risk, lower cost of lending and lengthen the maturity, hence created more lending opportunities to borrowers. However, these benefits were brought at the cost of increasing lenders’ exposure to the default risk (Solomon, 2012). In particular, as the borrowers the lenders who have a final ultimate say in the decision made by firm, creditors cannot affect the firm’s investment decision if it too optimistic. Moreover, as this practice require additional party to take some assets of the sponsor off balance sheet which is independent of the sponsor’s activities. Thence, there has been a concern that this new entities can, possibly, divest creditor’s ability to claim against their assets thereby jeopardize creditor’s ability to get their debts…

Loans are the largest source of credit risk to a financial institution .However , other sources of credit risk exist throughout the activities of a financial institution including in the banking book and the trading book, and both on and off the balance sheet.
