There has to be a reason to why we dream certain things...

Feeling Unsettled: My Thoughts On Interpreting Dreams
Viral Novelty

Some nights, I sleep soundly through the night and there's nothing to say about it. Other nights, the dreams I have feel so real I can't even process them right away, and as the day goes on I slowly remember them more and more.

Some people say there's always meaning behind your dreams; some I believe, some I don't. For example, they say that if you're dreaming of being chased or followed, it means you're not fulfilling some kind of responsibility you have. If there is some type of getaway car, are you the one driving it? Or is someone else? If you're driving the car it means you're in control of the situation at hand. On the other hand, if someone else is driving it means they have control over you in some way, or you're letting them control your decisions. Now in some cases, I'm sure that can be true, but it's also quite a stretch for most people.

I've had so many dreams where I wake up in the middle of the night, heart still pounding or tears running down my face, but still left with no explanation that seems to make sense. I just want a valid reasoning for the things I seem to imagine while I'm sleeping. Sometimes, these dreams are so real that I can't go on during the day without being mad at the person in my dream. I can go a whole day feeling on edge after seeing a gray BMW three times that looks just like one in my dream. If I dream of an accident, it makes me feel afraid to drive -- especially if I have to drive by the area where the accident took place.

I believe people dream things for a reason, but within my research, I have found nothing that seems to make logical sense.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
