I’ve Been Journaling My Dreams And It Gets Interesting

We dream every night, but we still do not know why we dream. There are theories, but nothing concrete. Dreams seem to transport us to another universe. Dreams can be mundane and just like our normal lives, or they can be an adventure.

I've always had crazy and weird dreams when I sleep. Most of the time I remember them, but other times I don't remember anything, or sometimes I only remember images or a certain situation. Lately, my dreams have been so strange and I've been able to remember a lot of it. But the even stranger part is that sometimes I wake up and forget what I dreamt about, but then as the day goes on I'll start to remember bits and pieces.

Sometimes I wake up and jot some stuff down in my journal and then go about my day, or I don't get to write it down until much later in the day, but I remember so much. It's been an interesting experience, to say the least. I've seen some patterns or reoccurring themes in them. For example, I had two separate dreams in a week involving a river infested with alligators. I'm not really sure what that means, but I don't know if I really want to know.

I've heard that psychoanalyzing dreams isn't really accurate, but it could be interesting to do nonetheless.

I think I'm going to continue writing my dreams down because they are just so weird and out there. But what I really wish I could do was have my dreams recorded and then watch them on the television or stream them on my laptop. I think they would be very entertaining.

If you have pretty crazy or weird dreams, I highly recommend starting to journal your dreams out. It's very soothing and relaxing unless you had a scary dream, then it can be a bit traumatic recalling the events of the dream. But for the most part, it's pretty relaxing. It's also interesting to see how much detail you remember. Sometimes you barely remember anything, and other times you remember everything.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
