Dreams

Good night everyone! Today I'm going to talk about the dreams. What are they? There’s a lot to say about this. Although there’s no completely certain about what dreams are, many scholars had some very interesting ideas. For example, Freud believed that dreams are symbolic expressions of unconscious wishes, powerful and repressed. These wishes were expressed in disguised form because they harbored veiled desires, like a forbidden sexual desire for the parent of the opposite sex.

On the other hand, J. Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley believed that dreams are just nervous signs that come from the brainstem and stimulate cortical zones. These discharges would occur automatically each 90 minutes and hold the activation for 30 minutes; also they activate the anterior encephalon and association zones in the cortex, inciting memories and emotions.

We have two different points of view about what finally dreams are.

Even for some societies they are sort of predictions of the future. As I said before, actually there is no a completely certain about what they are, but we have some ideas.

I usually remember my dreams; they are very alive and colorful. I mostly have nightmares, but a very nice dream I had recently was being embraced with my very best friend, enjoying the nurture of it.  Besides my night dreams, I’ve been always a daydreamer! Dreams and aspirations are not a waste of time, they let us put golds in our life and fight for making them come true.

I honestly, cannot imagine myself with a lot of money or political power, these are not golds in my life, and they’ve never been, so I couldn’t say what I’d do with them. But I can tell you that my dream for the future is becoming in a great help for the children who has been severely damaged. They are our future; they need to be protected for better days in our society.  

Music

Hi everyone!, today I'm going to talk about music and what music means in my life. Music means everything to me, because it has been present all along. In my family, my uncles are musicians, and I love to sing, but I'm not quite a singer. I also love to play instruments such as the guitar, or charango and I like to learn how to play them, like the violin.

The music I like is very varied. I like classic music, a little bit of classic rock, a little bit of metal and some other styles, most of them very relaxing styles. But what I dislike is reggaeton or pop music... really dislike. As you can see, it's more what I like that what I dislike. I have to tell you, that I love salsa, not quite to listen to it as every day, but I love to dance with it. It is a very joyful music and salsa dancers move with such a grace that it's impossible to me not to join to activities related to this style. 

I used to download music files from the internet, and I really enjoyed. But then I didn't anymore... there's no reason for this... I just stopped one day, and that's it. I rarely listen to the radio, but when I do I listen to "radio futuro". It plays mostly rock.

If I was song, I would be "postcards from Italy" by Beirut, because this song makes me feel chills every time I listen to it. And it's not for it lyrics, it's mostly for the rhythm and the instruments, the combination of them.. it's a really beautiful and pleasant song.  As I mentioned before, I really like to sing. Some of my friends says that I have a beautiful voice, but I have to learn to project it and make the sing a little bit louder. I have singed before in karaoke, not quite successfully (because I'm a little shy); so I rather to sing in the shower.  

I think that a world without music would be a very sad place to live. I think that music, happy or not, it helps you out to connect with yourself, because when you feel that music moves every part of your body, it helps you to disconnect somehow for all the things that makes us feel overloaded and have your own space. As you can see, in my way to see it, music is very important to me because all the emotions that flourish and make me feel in a particular way. 

I hope you like to read this, see you soon!
