loss can be quite painful for us, and their life memories lingering in our thoughts. This may cause us to become distant from our personal lives and lead to isolation.

The Bible is very clear about Gods stance on death and visions for his followers, and by…

The characters in the book Hunger by Michael Grant are living in a nightmare. It has been three months since all the adults and teenagers over the age of fourteen have disappeared like data expunged out of a computer (☺ simile). There is a huge dome that is surrounding Perdido Beach and Coates Academy and…

What are dreams designed to do? How do we dream? Do they even mean anything? These are questions people may contemplate when they wake in the morning after encountering a series of thoughts, images, and sensations that occurred during their sleep.

Sure, if you’re untrained, you will only remember bits and pieces of them, but not enough to differentiate one dream from another during REM sleep. What if you could turn your dreams off altogether? At the University of California, Berkeley, neuroscientists have done just that on mice. What the…

That little boy is my father and the little pony made my father work to where he is at today. “That little pony was a devil,” said Doug’s mother, Willodean May. “The pony did everything it…

When growing up, just about every child has some grandiose yet profoundly naïve dream for themselves, be it an astronaut, cowboy, the president, or even the regional manager of a gas station. I, of course, was no exception to this rule; much to my mother’s disappointment, my dream was to be a rock star.

Throughout this semester in almost every book we have read there is always someone having a dream. Dreams are very much a part of Native culture. When Oona tells her mom “In my dream I saw eight lodges” (Pg.77). Her mom just accepts it and does not question it. Dreams in Native culture have been used to predict the future. Which is…

Dreams and Deception When I was around 7 years old, I had a nightmare I will remember for the rest of my life. It was a dark, stormy night, and it was quiet.
