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My Name Is Obsolete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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
