that’s over 25 years in total. How often do you have a dream? Most people couldn’t say. Dreams are forgotten within minutes of waking up unless they make an active effort to remember and even then it’s difficult.

Why would children follow age minimum of 17, when they do not follow that of 13 now? They won’t. This is where parental controls come into action. It is impossible for me to tell parents how to raise their children, because that
