Dreams....

The other day..me and my friend were having a talk about dreams...our experiences... our weird dreams...
The different things about dreams we have heard...weird dreams about other people...
So i just thought of writing it down...


Dreams.... A very complicated Word , Feeling to describe....
Do dreams have meaning ?...Do they symbolize something ?... Do they teach us ?...Do they warn us ..?
So many such questions remain still unanswered... Man has yet to know the truth behind dreams..to understand this phenomenon...
Dreams are said to occur in REM phase of our sleep (Rapid Eye Movement).. A person can get ard 7 dreams in one night... this is the technical part of it... :)
Dreams also occur in other phases of sleep... not in REM .. however a person does not remember those dreams... When a person wakes up in REM...he is more likely to remember the dream...

There are many interpretations related to dreams... Some researches says they have manifestations of our deepest desires and also at times fear.... 
They represent the things we think about...care about...things which upset us..
I get dreams almost everyday.. different kinds of dreams.. normal dreams in which nothing alarming or exiciting takes places...they depict some people in their usual routine... 
Some are bad..depict bad things happening... people dying... Robbery... murders..ghosts...
Some people get dreams about ghosts... robbers... i used to...these are their fears..things about which they fear... its the unknown...

However i sometimes wonder about the dreams that keep on repeating... same dream again and again.... I wonder why do they come repeatedly...whats the meaning ?..Are they trying to convey something ?

Sometimes... The series of events happening in a day resembles the dreams...makes u feel as if u have already seen this in ur dream...u have experienced this situation before.... in ur dreams...thoughts....
The events happen in exact  manner ...in same order...
What is really a dream..had i already experienced it in dream..or if i am just thinking some stupid things...or is it just an illusion.. or it is just a thing i am experiencing...my subconscious mind is making theories...





Some people get dreams only if something bad is gonna happen the next day...they get an indication in their dreams... many people have experienced it .... and found it to have come out true...
Do these people don’t get dreams at all and get dreams only if something is gonna happen the next day ?
Or these people must be getting dreams everyday...but only the thing is that they don’t remember..
The things dream indicate and those things coming out to be true the next day...is it just a co incidence ?..
Or dreams really do tell you things..warn you.. ??

Some people also say dreams occur to a person if he is unhappy... not satisfied... restless....
When people want something...thinking about something...
When people are satisfied...happy....they sleep more peacefully...
Also when you are tired you sleep more peacefully.... you don’t get dream...

Also , if certain thing is going on in your mind continuously..u might ge dreams about it...
Well i have experienced that..
And that usually are about the work...if its very hectic.. many people experience this..many of my friends have...
Many people get creative ideas in their dreams...  History does tell us about people getting solution is their dreams... 
As we know ,it is said that  the circular structure of the benzene molecule..this idea the scientist Kekule  got from his dream..
He saw a snake coiled...and thus he got the idea that benzene molecule structure will be something similar..

Well..there are also many scientific aspects for dreams... however here i am not going into the technical part of it...

Well another point of view about dreams is that...they are what your subconscious mind thinks about..
Does youe subconscious mind want to give you some indication ? communicate something ?

Well all this thinking is just the thoughts...what i think...can it be like this ?
Or is their a specific scientific reason behind this..

All this is still a mystery..
Till then keep watching dreams..

However , do not conclude anything from your dreams.... Cos its a mystery... dont believe in it and go by it..
Enjoy it..experience it.. :) :)

Newspapers..Use them Creatively


The other day , I was just going through different things you can make with newspapers…
The huge stack of newspapers which we give away as raddi..can be used in so many ways.
There is a huge list of creative articles which you can make using newspapers.

For example ,  bowl :
You can use that bowl to keep all different kinds of things , lipsticks , clips , rubber bands , watches , pins , jewellery , earings, chains , powder , so many small small things.
We usually use glass bowls or ceramic bowls for keeping all these stuff.
Bowls made from newspapers are very much tough as ceramic bowls.Also it wont break even if u drop it.
You can make bowls of various shapes , colour them and decorate them the way you want . Make a customize bowls J
We can make bowls using newspapers and balloon and fevicol.

Another thing , you can make is boxes.
Make small rolls of newspapers , stick them together and form a box , basket.
I even saw a person had made a small cupboard with the same technique and it looked very cute. J
This box is very much hard and tough.

I have made a small wall hanging using this technique.

Another thing , is small paper sculptures.
Keep them in your showcases. They look really nice and elegant . They need to be done neatly.
The sculptures when done neatly , look like real life people.

We can make sculptures of people , animals.

We can also make weaved baskets out of the newspaper rolls.
I had learnt making weaving baskets out of cane.
However getting cane sticks of proper thickness , cutting them is a bit tedious to get and make baskets.

Making the same using newspaper is way easy and much more convenient.
You can decorate them the way u want.

I made some , which I use to keep small-small things.
I am gonna try to make bigger one , with a different design . J

All we need is fevicol and newspapers.

Some people have made flower pots out of newspapers.
I don’t know how feasible it is or how many days it can last , but some of them have used it.

Then there are other things which you can make out of newspapers like paper bags , flowers , handmade paper , small envelopes of folders.
These are common things.
