Indeed, we aspire to triumph – you'll find no shortage of miracles here. Since our origins, the goal for America was always something more.

...A few months ago, on a Sunday night before school, I had a dream in which I knew I was asleep, otherwise known as a lucid dream. I could consciously control what I was doing, so that made it all the more real. I could also remember it in vivido detail. When I usually get these dreams, they are happy, but this dream was about to haunt my subconscious world for a few nights. I was alone, standing outside of my house in the rain at night and I was thinking to myself I needed to get inside in order to wake up from my dream. When I reached the front door I placed my knuckles onto the door's small window about to knock. I knew that what I was about to do would get me a little bit closer to waking myself up. The moment I knocked on the door, the banging...

...to keep from struggling. Although it may seem that most Americans face financial and economic challenges, there are indeed many Americans who are quite stable. A strong argument can be made that the American dream is not dead, but is yet attainable through genuine desire, hard work, and saving and investing. As it was coined decades ago, the American dream had a totally different meaning than its understood definition in the new age. As stated in an article, the term “American dream”, coined in the 1930s during the depression, was originally defined as a place where life would be better...

...Working hundreds of hours, a month to be able to afford that dream house with the two-car garage, huge kitchen, jetted bathtub, a beautiful family, and much more. But is that what make life joyful or happy? Sandler (2011) found that the American dream is just the opposite it’s the American nightmare. We fight to gain that American dream and in fact, it has just turned into an unrealistic expectation (p. 73). Almost like a figment of our imagination. Currently anything is possible to become wealthy and most the time it comes from one’s hard work and dedication. The American dream isn’t something that is just handed down to all of us it’s something that we go out and strive towards every...

...Research suggests that the majority of of dreams occur during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, a recurring cycle of high activity in Stage III and Stage IV sleep. Every thirty minutes at the onset of Stage III sleep, a 90 minute period of REM sleep begins, a phenomenon known as REM rebound. [1] REM is a period of sleep in which the nervous system matures rapidly[2]; infants spend half their sleep in the REM state. [3] During REM sleep, the eyes move at rapid speeds beneath the eyelids, and the body is paralyzed, while in non-REM (nREM), it is not. It has been studied that dreams, while rare, can also occur in nREM sleep; they are often short and involve thought from everyday life when compared to REM dreams using a bizarreness scale. While there is much evidence supporting that dreams happen during REM sleep, there is no definite conclusion yet that REM correlates with dreaming....

...Sweet Dreams By: Nikki Schott, Autumn Holzinger and Korina Stelzenmueller Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is when a seemingly healthy infant, usually less than a year old, suddenly die to an unknown cause. However, there are some physical and sleep factors that can make an infant more likely to get SIDS. One of the main physical factors are brain defects, which happened when the part of the brain that tells the body to breath has not fully functioned properly. Additionally, the weight of the infant at birth is a very important cause of SIDS, since a premature baby’s body and brain has not fully developed. Moreover, the way an infant sleeps also can cause SIDS. For example, if an infant sleeps on his stomach, instead his back, he or she...

...The Causes of Certain Dreams Dreams depend on what a person eats before bed and the position which they sleep. The science of sleep explains perfectly what goes on in a person’s unconscious stage throughout the night. Each sleep stage describes how a person’s brain works and the way the body interferes with sleep. Some societies believed that truths are told or revealed through dreams as others think sleep is nonproductive, though essential activity. Someone also might not think the position of which they sleep changes their thought process, but it has been proven several times that it does. Eating can also be the cause of certain dreams. No matter what foods are eaten, there will be a change in a person’s slumber. People might wonder what...

...around changes in policy and legislation. Especially in the last twenty or so years changes such as the recent ones of administrations and regarding social issues such as welfare and and healthcare have greatly impacted American lives. In addition to those changes our vision of the American Dream and how one obtains it has also changed drastically. It is hard to say if the changes are for the better or worse objectively. Surely they were better for some and worse for others, but either way the changes have been quite impactful. Changes in administration have the most obvious and overarching effect on the lives of “everyday Americans” whether we realize it or not. In the past few decades we have gone from Ronald Reagan to George H.W. Bush to Clinton to Bush Jr to Obama and most recently to Trump. The most obvious change regarding those administrations is that in past twenty or so years we have switched political parties four times. With each incoming party there are have naturally been different sets of values and goals,...
