What Can Dreams Truly Tell You?
My Name Is Obsolete

I have always found dreams interesting and have always wondered if they truly mean something. Although I do not have knowledge of dreams, I think sometimes they may have underlying messages. Within dreams, there are many things that can happen to a person or to multiple people. Dreams are places where people experience death, teeth falling out, hair falling out, or even being placed in a setting that they've never been in before. Some people have dream books where they write down their dreams, and they're supposed to help them understand why they've had this dream. Similarly, there are other people who will go to a Dream Doctor. I found it very interesting that people will go to a specific doctor to help them reveal meanings of their dreams.

Within different types of dreams, different things happen.

Lucid dreaming is when a person can actually control their dreams. With this type of power, anything is possible. They are able to do what is impossible in real life in their dreams. Although this may seem like something you would want to experience, it is also very dangerous. Some would rather sleep their lives away within dreams where they have control over everything instead of living in the real world where things are unpredictable.

Daydreaming is something that everyone experiences. Daydreams can happen when a person is checked out of reality and escapes for a little while. When these dreams happen, a person is either reminiscing about something that has happened in the past that they find pleasing, or it's about something that they want or wish to happen. These daydreams are usually part of everyone's day and happen while awake. I know that I am guilty of daydreaming at all hours of the day.

Normal dreams are ones that a person has every night. With these, a person does not know they have been dreaming until they wake up in the morning. It is said that these dreams are based off of our experiences or our thoughts and anxieties, and they can even derive from past memories one has had. These are dreams that a person accepts no matter what they may be about.

Moreover, there are many dreams that a person can have and each of them may have an underlying meaning that maybe no one can understand. The interesting things about dreams are that they can reoccur or even make you feel like you've been in that same place before. While sleeping, only you can see your dreams, which I find most fascinating. Maybe I'll have to make a stop at the dream doctors office!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
