Having Vivid Dreams Can Really Suck

Have you ever have those dreams/nightmares that you wake up the next morning and feel as if they were real? You can't tell if they actually happened or not? Well, you aren't alone.

Having Vivid Dreams Can Really Suck

When you wake up from sleep, you either think "what a weird dream I had" or you don't remember your dream and you start to plan for your nap in a few hours. But once thing not everyone experiences is vivid dreaming. Vivid dreaming is this weird state where you can remember your dreams, you feel as if it was real life and sometimes you wake up and you're not sure if the dream was real life or not.

Vivid dreaming can come from a variety of things such as a side effect from medication. While it sounds like in a way it might be cool, it can actually really stink. Sometimes you wake up confused as to if something really happened or not. Which depending on your dream, can really throw you off. You could dream of eating something and feel as if you actually did eat it. Or you could dream that you finished all of that homework you had but unfortunately, you didn't.

In a way, it might be cool because you can actually remember what you dreamt of. But for someone who experiences these types of dreams once in a while, boy can it throw you off. I woke up this morning for example and was convinced that whatever meal I had seen in my dreams, I actually ate. You think you had these conversations in real life but, you didn't.

There's not a way to really explain what it's like to have these dreams. It just happens here and there. While it especially can stink when you have nightmares, you just have to remind yourself when you wake up that it wasn't really and it was just a dream.

We all love sleep but sometimes we can get really thrown off. But everyday is a new day and not every day is the same. We have good days and bad days. We just have to take each day by the minute as you never know what can happen. Pray for the best outcome in each day and remember life isn't easy. We all have those moments of struggling. But we can get through it, and that's a fact.

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.
