DREAMS

There is nothing more relaxing and joyful than sleeping. Everytime I get any type of sleep, I enjoy it to the fullest. Of course I enjoy sleeping 9 hours, than taking a 20 minute nap or a 5 hours of sleep during the week days to go to school. The more I sleep, the better I will function the next day and better the energy. Most of the time, I go to sleep wishing I will be able to wake up remembering what I dreamt, but it is rare I remember. Dreaming is one of the most exciting things about life. Every time a dream occurs in someone's sleep, it means the brain is processing information of the day before. REM occurs, which means rapid eye movement in which the brain passes many images and we enter into a stage of paralysis. The dreams we dream occur in the parietal lobe and this creates them, but people who do not dream is because they have suffered from a stroke or a damage in the parietal lobe and will only dream again as time passes by. Its said that dreaming has a significance, surely it is not 100% known what it is.. maybe it is answers our mind is looking, the future it hopes, or the past it regrets.. Nobody knows. Dreaming is fun and makes your mind be relaxed during your sleep time. Personally, I love sleeping, but I enjoy it and love it the most when I dream. <3

ALONE

People are tortured in many different ways. In the video I watched, I saw a type of torture I never had thought about because it was not violent, this was called sensory deprivation. This type of punishment, expirement or torture consisted on having someone locked in a room without using none of its senses. The person could stay there for hours, days, weeks or months and not have any type of contact or speaking with anyone, nothing to hear, no smelling, no touching and no interaction what so ever. Patients who were victims of this experiment became desperate after a while, since they were not able to perform any action. At the beginning of their journey, they sang and spoke to themselves, but later on their desperation became worse. People begin to allusinate things and become very worried. This deprivation gets on their nerves, and even though this experiment only lasts for 48 hours, the patients become very anxious and desperate for it to end. It seems an easy experiment, being without contact or communication with anyone and with no interaction, but really it is not. Anxiety and desire of the experiment to finish becomes a person crazy. Sensory Deprivation is one of the worse tortures ever.

SYNESTHESIA

1. Synesthesia

Synesthesia is a condition in which one sense (for example, hearing) is simultaneously perceived as if by one or more additional senses such as sight. Another form of synesthesia joins objects such as letters, shapes, numbers or people's names with a sensory perception such as smell, color or flavor.

2. grapheme-color synesthesia

Grapheme → color synesthesia is a form of synesthesia in which an individual's perception of numbers and letters is associated with the experience of colors. Like all forms of synesthesia, grapheme → color synesthesia is involuntary, consistent, and memorable. (Definition of google)

3. ordinal-linguistic personification

 Is a form of synesthesia in which ordered sequences, such as ordinal numbers, days, months and letters. (Definition Wikipedia) 

4. number-form synesthesia

A number form is a mental map of numbers, which automatically and involuntarily appears whenever someone who experiences number-forms thinks of numbers. (Definition of Wikipedia)

5. sound-color synesthesia

color synesthesia is "something like fireworks": voice, music, and assorted environmental sounds such as clattering dishes or dog barks trigger color and simple shapes that arise, move around, and then fade when the sound stimulus ends. (Definition of Wikipedia)

6. lexical-gustatory synesthesia

one of the rarer forms of synesthesia, in which spoken or written words evoke vivid sensations of taste, sometimes including temperature and texture. (Definition of Wikipedia)
