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.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
