“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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
