The study of dreams is crucial in creating and keeping a healthy lifestyle as well as understanding the meaning behind our dreams and how they can affect our lives. The article linked above helps to explain how technology affects our sleep. Although technology has helped us learn about dreams, sleep, and wakefulness, it also has negatively impacted our sleep. When one goes to bed with technology, they experience stimulation in mental activity. This stimulation causes one to become more anxious and may force them to fall asleep much later than they may typically go to bed. The lack of sleep will then affect them the next day and the repetition of this is a toxic cycle that can be hard to escape. I feel that this article helps me to better understand the actual consequences of technology and how going to bed without it is much better for your life. This is an article that many people should read especially because it effects a very large population. With both technology and streaming services becoming more popular, this allows many people to follow the “trends” and stay up late watching tv or on a phone. Its important to understand what you are doing to your body so that way you can make beneficial decisions when going to bed. After all, sleep is one of the most important things in life as we spend about 1/3 of lives doing it.

Are dreams important? Is the study of Psychology the root to answering questions about dreams? Was Sigmund Freud’s theories about dreams correct? Do dreams really represent internal wishes and / or desire? Are dreams how we cope with external issues? Does everyone dream? Do people dream in color or black and white?

Day 1: My organic item is a Coconut. She is very round and light brown with lots of hairs/fibers. Similarly to peach fuzz. The sound of my Coconut is the milk/water inside that splashes around when you shake it. Just like a milk or water jug. I can’t wait to cut it and drink the liquid and try the insides. I can’t tell if all of the brown on the outside is just the natural color or if it’s just dirt. There is a point at one and it reminds me of a dreidel with its rounded circular edges. I like Randy.

Day 3: I put Randy in the car and the heat made her crack open a little bit. I just got home from school so I am going to open it. The liquid is very bitter and is off white/clear. I put her in the fridge to cool off and then after some time I cut up a little of the inside of the Coconut. It is so bland and bitter. Not at all what I thought. I didn’t realize how artificial Coconut flavors are, especially in the store. I made an acai bowl and put some Coconut in it which was good. I will definitely stick to buying artificial pre cut coconuts.
