Where Do We Go When We Sleep

This question came to me by chance, but I do not hide from you that I had thought about it before, but I ignored it and did not give it any importance. But the days pass and everything changes.One day I was lying in bed watching a movie called Room, a drama film directed by Lenny Abrahamson and written by Emma Donoghue, based on her novel of the same name. The film is about a young woman of the age of flowers who is held in captivity for seven years with her son, after which they allow the boy to escape to experience the outside world for the first time.

But the question arises, where do we go?Is there another world in which our souls go and our bodies remain captives to the bed?In my religion we know that the soul goes where God Almighty wants it to go, but it remains connected to the body in some way. Now we know about the soul, but what about our dreams.

Dreams are a thing of imagination that is difficult to understand at times. They may be joyful to us at times, to the point that they make us jump out of bed happy and full of happiness, even though we realize that they are only dreams, who knows, maybe they are a gift from God to us. And do not forget that some dreams have a dark side, such as a coin that contains positive and negative sides. There is another kind of dreams or rather nightmares that may make us wake up from bed terrified and soaked with sweat that almost becomes a lake and our tears that hardly stop to become a running river that refuses to stop and until we realize that it was a nightmare that is not good in it, we are a little happy for that moment but still It is stuck in our memories, and it could also be a divine message indicating events that may happen in the future.

Last but not least when we fall into a deep sleep 𝔀𝓮 𝓰𝓸 𝓽𝓸 𝓭𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓶𝓵𝓪𝓷𝓭.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
