“A nightmare is a dream occurring during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep that results in feelings of strong terror, fear, distress or extreme anxiety. This phenomenon tends to occur in the latter part of the night and oftentimes awakens the sleeper, who is likely to recall the content of the dream.” -Psychologytoday.com

Your probably wondering why I am giving you the definition of what a nightmare is. It is because as a normal human being I happen to get nightmares once in a blue moon. But four? In a night? Never, really.

So here is the first nightmare I had.

Now in my first nightmare i had left the door of my house open while I went out. In this nightmare some guy that i had been in contact before randomly just walked in the door, and later sent me a text message. I remember the first part of my dream being him sending me a text that said “Hey i have been waiting at your house for two hours, I couldn't stand the heat; so i left.” I remember in my dream I read the text message, and my first thought was “I never invited you to my house” and I remember texting him back this, and then ringing the police. I remember in my dream there was a restraining order involved with me giving him one, and then I remember that the police found text messages. In the dream, I had never gave this person my physical address so it WAS breaking, and entering. I remember being really freaked out, getting home; and finding on my counter flowers with a note saying “I'm sorry” with the date of the incident on it.

Well, needless to say I woke up from THAT nightmare feeling pretty foolish.

The second dream? The second dream was a little more harsh. It was also a robbery dream. In this dream, I had been sleeping; and my mother showed up. My mother started robbing my house, and at some point she held a knife up to me. I locked myself in my room, and i called the police. Next thing i know I hear the door slamming. She ran out on me. My roommate then came out of the room, and asked me if my mother had gone already. I told her that she already left, and asked her why. She said she thought she knew my mother had been living at our place in the evenings because she was without a job. I looked at her shocked, the police came. I told them what happened. They were already out finding her, and i got them to leave her alone. Weird dream, my mother is not THAT crazy.

The next dream I was actually stuck in another time period. I was in WW2. Apparently i had just learned how to fly an airplane. Apparently i had a brother named “Christian” I remember that i hijacked a plane to see if i could really fly it (without realizing there was a war going on). I ended up flying the plane all the way to Tennessee. I was scared, and i radioed Christian. Christian told me he had been under me the whole time. I didnt realize how high I was flying. He was keeping an eye on me. I remember his plane being hit, and mine being struck down.

The very last dream was a continuation of that dream, but a few years after. Apparently I had moved to mexico because of war. When I moved to Mexico I apparently got a balloon, and tried to fly over the boarder wall in the hot air balloon. I landed, and several poor people (much poorer than poor dream in my dream) came to help me.

So then … someone explain…. THIS.

"Most nightmares may be a normal reaction to stress, and some clinicians believe they aid people in working through traumatic events. Frequent occurrence of nightmares becomes a disorder when it impairs social, occupational and other important areas of functioning. At this point, it may be referred to as Nightmare Disorder (formerly Dream Anxiety Disorder) or “repeated nightmares.”- Psychologytoday.com

IN WHAT TRAUMATIC EVENT WAS I EVER INVOLVED IN WW2, OR DID I EVER HAVE A BROTHER NAMED CHRISTIAN?

I mean, i have a brother named Kyle… But no, I do NOT have a brother named Christian.

I mean this is really all the website freaking gives you about dreams, which is a total bummer.

I mean apparently my psychology book tells us that dreaming is something that we do because its our subconscious revealing to us our deepest desires.

  1. I do not want a new baby brother.
  2. I do NOT want a new baby in the family. Period.
  3. I really have this phobia of driving airplanes, so i dont think i ever want to drive an airplane.
  4. I have only been in a hot air balloon once, it was pretty cool; I dont know if i would actually do that again. But the border wall makes sense because I could be just really pissed off at Donald Trump, and taxes in general. It makes perfect sense to me.

So I really DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE HELL MY BRAIN WANTS ME TO DO OR WHAT.

So, if anyone figures it out; let me know. In the mean time Media followers, I willl be eating some Bojangles; and enjoying the sweeter things in life.

Hope I made you giggle. The. End.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
