  • Why do I always have "dreams" that give me anxiety (aka: nightmares)? Why do I never just get to re-live my happy memories in my dreams? Wtf brain?!? This is outrageous! It's unfair!

  • the idea that cheese affects your dreams is kinda... folklore. Most likely, it's simply the act of eating right before bed is the problem. (your body doing digestion stuff affects your sleep cycle, making it hard for you to sleep well.)

  • As far as I know- and I'm far from an expert here- dreams are really just your brain trying to make sense of your brain doing whatever the fuck it is your brain is doing why you sleep. (maybe a de-fragmentation cycle to keep everything nice and functional? bad analogy, probably.)

    in any case, your brain is trying to make sense of signals and synapses firing off, in what is basically a random pattern. so it cobbles together a reality as best it can and fit things to that.

    Its also trying to maintain a certain amount of continuity with where you are. So, if you're anxious while you fall a sleep, your brain is going to incorporate that anxiety.

    Also, as Bigfish mentioned, the freaky/weird/anxious ones are more likely to wake you up so that you actually remember them.

    In any case, I would suggest maybe changing your bedtime routine up and finding something positive/calming to focus on. crotchet works well for me. but it could be just about anything. a feel-good novel, or whatever. (I also suggest turning the screens off.)

    might not change that the only things you remember are the unpleasant ones, but it might make them less frequent.

  • New Zealand says it’s going to eradicate feral cats

    Jump

  • New Zealand has no native predators, and cats are extremely good predators.

    These aren’t house cats that got lost, these are cats that are entirely wild and are now an invasive species. TNR would still decimate the local fauna while waiting for nature to take its course.

    They also can’t be housed like you might do with a house cat turned stray.

    as much as I love house cats, in New Zealand, the feral cats are an ecological apocalypse.
