What do our dreams mean?

 
  I'm not trying to become the next Sigmund Freud here, but I've always wondered what our dreams are representing.

    Does it predict our future, our past, our present? Does it have something to do with our lifestyle? A dream can be anything. Revolving the person dreaming and what their life is like.

   Sometimes, your dreams can mean more than what you're thinking. As if to say, some dreams are giving you info on what will happen next.

Most dreams come black and white, but other times, it can be in vivid colors as you, the dreamer explore what is going on in the dream.


  
 Sometimes, we are aware of what we our dreaming while other tines, it's an enigma, as we ourselves don't know what the consequences end up being as we awake into reality.

   Some dreams do have meanings of what our future will be, sometimes we can even predict deaths, of loved ones or something else.


Dreams are different for everyone....they can be for the best or the worst of our lives. In color, black and white, or vivid...our imaginations create the most of us as we sleep. It seems dreams can change us as we awake into reality. Can we be scared of our dreams, can our dreams change us for the better???

   Not always, but I feel sometimes we dream because we want to escape our reality. Our dreams are there to help us, guide us, even protect us. We can fly, fall from the sky, and never get hurt. Does it mean when we wake up...could we do all those things? We can get hurt in reality, but it feels so different in the dream world.

  And with certain movies making us think someone will kill us in our dreams, might make us fear more on going to sleep.

 "Nightmare on Elm Street" is only a movie based from a book of kids who feel that 'Freddy Kruger' is out to get them.



     Dreams can be damaging to our minds once nightmares creep up on us, but we have to always say... It's only a dream.
   
   So, can we understand dreams, nightmares, day dreams? Yes and No. Sometimes it relies on the person themselves, and what their dreams really mean. If it is there frighten us, help us, or even calm us into a happy dream.

  Nightmares do occur, and we can understand them as well, being as if someone can fully comprehend why they have nightmares, and try to pinch themselves to wake up. Our dreams are different, and every night, as we dream, we try to understand them.

Maybe it's best we never know, as we close our eyes and hope for happy dreams in our mind. And when we do figure out what our dreams, the sweeter reality can be.

Benjamin Button Story

 Ever wanted to age backwards???
     Ever wanted to be born old and then die young?


Most of us never imagined that to be happening to any of us...but in the world of F. Scott Fitzgerald, it has happened.



   And it also became a movie staring Brad Pitt, Taraji Henson, Cate Blanchett. About a baby that really aged backwards.

   Does it mean when he turns forty-five, or fifty, he's the normal age he should be, and it goes backwards????



    In the movie version, it takes place during Hurricane Katrina when an elderly woman named Daisy (Cate Blanchett with make up) is talking to her daughter about how she met  Benjamin Button. She kept old journals of his. As she reads, it explains how Benjamin was born, his mother died and his father abandoned him from the way he looked. He was adopted by an African American woman named Queenie who ran an old style retirement home, which at the time, was perfect for him.


 As he aged, he was still an old man, at the tender age of eight, he would see people come and go, but he met a young Daisy who was visiting her grandmother at the time.
   He became friends with the elderly as well as the people that worked there. He soon started to change into an adult, but still with the aging, it was as if he was going to die, but was only ten or eleven years old. He soon got older, and by the time he was an adult, he got to know Daisy better.
    He went on a ship during the war to discover what the world was like.

He soon reaches the age of forty, finding out that Daisy is pregnant, and the baby is his....which surprised Daisy's daughter who had recollection of whom her father was, since, with Benjamin aging backwards, it wouldn't be right to stay while Daisy's daughter was growing.

     Time goes by, Daisy's daughter gets older as Ben gets younger. She remarries and her daughter would never find out the truth that Ben was her actual father.

Time goes by and as Daisy gets older, Ben grows younger, soon reaching the age of forgetting and dying as a baby in Daisy's arms.
Sometimes, I wonder, are we meant to be aging forward for a reason, or do we all want to be old at birth, and die as a baby?

   Nobody knows. All I know is this was a very good movie. Long, but not one of the best. It seems Benjamin grows down in age while others that he knew would die as they aged.

    By the end, Daisy's daughter finds out the truth in Ben's words on why he had to leave her and Daisy... that it is never too late, or in his case too early, to be who you want to be.

I think this movie is in the mind of a man, who wanted to age backwards or find the way to create a person who would age in a different way than others. The movie isn't like the book no; however, having Brad Pitt never age and he's now in his fifties, it can be interesting.

   Some people never age at all, while others do show the signs of aging. From actors, to writers, to people who have a gift to never age, no matter what the circumstance is. It could be genetic, or a gift.

   For me, I maybe 34 but I look as if I'm in my early to mid twenties, not thirties. Aging gracefully can be a gift, but for Benjamin Button, aging backwards felt like a curse.

 A movie and a book about a man with a gift of aging backwards, is an interesting thing. I always wondered, if it was because of some sort of illness you can get from birth. There are some illness that cause people to age different. For me, my skin is beautiful and my eyes and hair shine in the sun, but my heart ages faster than my skin. Weird to think, but we all want to never age.


In the words of F. Scott Fitzgerald quoting Benjamin Button: It's never too late, or in my case, too early, to be whoever you want to be.

You on Kazoo kid

  YOU ARE VISITING THE KAZOO FILES:



    This is about a video on YouTube that was made in the early 1990's. About a boy and a kazoo...but there is much more than that.

   So much more. Seeing three videos titled: YOU ON KAZOO, RING ALONG-SING ALONG and LIVE ON STAGE.

  About a boy named Bret Ambler, who is my age getting kids, along with us that are watching, to play a kazoo, listen to magical voices, follow the leader, you name it, we did it.
  First off, we would get a message saying we would have to get our parents help to move furniture. I always wondered why? Are we doing cartwheels? I thought it was about a kazoo, it wasn't.

  Bret, the star of this video, has a group of friends and it seemed he would call us: 'our special friend'

    I'm confused. It feels as we're being hypnotized by a child.


In the first one, we get to introduce Bret as well as the kazoo he is playing with. For some reason, I've noticed horrid sound mixing happening. All the children's voices sound right, half of the time, they sound like adults. OK.
Even Bret creeps me out at times, not only is he scaring me, but it seems the audio in his voice is off with the lip movement.


Another Kazoo video is called: "RING ALONG, SING ALONG"




       Where the video starts off as kids unaware where Bret is, when they are in the same building as he is. OK, they even make more video edits with kids not following him, or some missing in some of the scenes. God. There is more things to do besides kazoo, like Ring bells.

  It's just as bad as the first one, but there was another where Bret is live on stage, singing into a pretend fake mic, but you can hear him loud and clear. WOW.
  These kids are goofballs, these videos make me wish I was there, since these were my age when this was made.


Where is the Kazoo kid now?????
 Bret Ambler is all grown up. 34 years old, married, and still remembers being the kid that got everyone to Kazoo. He still loves to kazoo and says that he never forgets who he is.
   He actually works with music, and to him it all started with a little Kazoo.

 Now we will remember Bret not for being the kid who gave us a Kazoo to play with, but for the fun he had, what creeped me out the most though was saying: "Special Friend" in a freaky way.

BTW: even in the kids are creepy enough, saying their names, dancing as if they have to pee and even shouting out "CAN WE DO MORE KAZOO"


   I wonder where those kids are now, maybe they became popular, unseen or even playing kazoos all day long.

   Kazoos will never be the same, because of Bret Ambler.
