15 Interesting Facts about Dreams
somethingintellectual:
1. You forget 90% of your dreams. Within 5 minutes of waking, half of your dream is forgotten. Within 10, 90% is gone.
2. Blind people also dream. People who became blind after birth can see images in their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound, smell, touch and emotion.

A feeling of sadness came over him. All these years Litvinoff had imagined he was so much like his friend. He’d prided himself on what he considered their similarities. But the truth was that he was no more like the man fighting a fever in the bed ten feet away than he was like the cat that had just slunk off: they were different species.

decipher reflections from reality.
I was told you are depressed,
By a little bird twas severly hurt
As it did not notice my window. It just flew wherever the wind blows
As it convulsed on the pavement, It whispered “I am hated.”
“your genetic flaws” i said “say it all”
you can’t decipher reflections from reality
but neither can i.
