Daydreaming and Deja Vu

Daydreaming and Deja Vu

I decided to do these two topics because I see them happen almost everyday, and I did not know why these events occur. I decided it would be good for me to know these so that now whenever these happen to me, I will know why.

Don’t you get excited when you wake up and you remember the super cool dream you had the night before and you’re mad because you had to wake up from saving your town from aliens or being a superhero but in all reality and average humans dream only last 5 to 45 minutes. Your dream could go on for days or so it seems, scientist have been doing studies on why we dream for nearly 100 years now and they still aren’t 100% sure.

Everyone knows that daydreaming is not the same as dreaming while you’re asleep. 1. you have no control over your dreams. In daydreams however, you have total control of what happens. You are the producer, writer, director and often the star of the daydream. Daydreaming is fun it kills time and intrudes on your time when you should be working. People might daydream about what they are going to later that day like taking a nap or leaving for vacation anything they might be looking forward to or maybe even scared of, anything they want they can day dream.

Physiologists say that the more a person daydreams can actually help them. They say the reason is because if they dream about an intruder or a robber etc. and they react to that its teaching them what to do if that did ever happen to them. Physiologists say that the more creative a person is the more likely they are to daydream. Day dreaming relieves stress because you can dream about anything you want, you are in control of the outcome and everything.

Have you ever done something for the first time but it feels like you have done it before? That feeling is called Deja Vu, it is a French term that literally means “already seen.” Other terms for Deja Vu- Déjà Vécu, already experienced, déjà senti, means already thought, déjà visité, means already visited. Deja Vu- “already seen”, is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has been experienced in the past, whether it has actually happened or not.

“Deja Vu” is the feeling that you have seen something before, and it happens because your mind has seen something else that is very similar that it has a hard time telling the difference between what you are seeing now and what you saw before. Some studies say that Deja VU is caused when one eye records what it sees and then straight after the other eye sees it but at a different time. Several theories say it occurs simply because the brain itself. It makes sense that that feeling may be caused by a brain state that has nothing to do with memory, because at the same time of feeling familiarity, we know that the event could not have happened before.

QR codes!

I really liked the assignment that we did, I thought it was unique that people could take out their phone or iPad or any other device with the QR reader on it an scan it. I think it could be better if we all did it the same, some did it on Open Office some did it one Microsoft Word. So some were larger than the others. Some didn’t quite get the process, so we couldn’t watch their video. Overall I thought the assignment was really neat! I hope we do it again!

Couldnt Live Without it

What would you do if you couldn’t hear? You could never just have a strait up conversation with someone, and when your getting woke up for school your parents would have to wake you up cause you wouldn’t hear the alarm clock Even playing sports you couldn’t hear people cheering you on. Hearing makes my life better by listening to my family, and my friends. I love to talk, and why talk if I couldn’t hear it’s just not worth it I should just save my breath! If I couldn’t hear I would have to learn a whole new language sign language of course. and the worst thing to think about is what if you went to a school with no one that speaks sigh language its sad to think that some people have to live like that for the rest of there life that’s why I cant live without it.♥♥♥♥♥♥

Keep it Closed!!!!

You know how it feels when people tell you what to do, I do. They can tell you to go away or they tell you to be quiet yep, I know it stinks; the other thing that really makes me mad is when people talk behind your back I think that is really mean because if they can’t say it to your face they shouldn’t say it at all. And all my life my parents have told me if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all and sometimes its hard and I know it is but life isn’t easy or no one would make mistakes only Jesus doesn’t make mistakes, what I want to do to help this is when I see this going on I will try my best to stop it. Some of the time you talking to your friend and you say yea I’m going to do some volunteering and maybe some one who doesn’t do that kind of stuff could say you don’t need to do that stuff only weird people do that, and that’s not true because I go and do charity every year on a day called volunteer day are family goes out and helps are community and next year I’m going to see if I can bring some people from school with me. And I just want this world to rely that we are all one, big family.

Fast Christmas

Me and my brother woke up at about 5:30 on Christmas morning ;my mom was in the kitchen and my dad was getting dressed .They said what are ya’ll waiting for so we all ran in there as fast as we could .YES I shrieked I got an electric scooter I was so happy ;I also got an X box 360 kinect I was in love with everything I got ; So as soon as we were done I had to go to my papa’s house for Christmas I got a sticker to put on the side of my scooter . I wanted to go ride my scooter right then it was blue and different colors so I switched it on and it didn’t work. I kind of felt sad inside but I didn’t say anything but I . Went and told my dad and he was looking at it, and he took the seat off of it and found some kind of plug that was not hooked up he had some kind of fancy guy word for it but I don’t know it. but he did fix it hallelujah that was the best Christmas ever.
