The Power of Dreams

After finish watching this video “The Power of Dream”, I found out that this video is very interesting. My opinion, dream is a very special process that appears images, sounds, and emotion while we are sleeping. Some of them we do not really remember after waking up from the dream, but some dreams appear strongly that you will not forget for the rest of your life. Some dreams I had, that I really want to let it continue after waking up from it. I tried to go back to sleep with the same dream I had a minute ago. It actually happened to me once, but I forgot what the dream was about after few days. Psychologists look dream in a very special way. It can actually help people to have inspiration in their work. Like musician and artists, their work often came from their dreams. Many people said “what we thought and what we worried will appear in our dream”. It is actually true that I often dream of the things that I though during the day. I really hope psychologists can further research and find out more interesting things about “the power of dreams”.

The pit and the Pendulum

I found out that this story is hard. First of all, after reading this story once, I didn’t really know what happened. I only know that the main character fell asleep. I thought he had a dream, but actually he was imagining things. Second of all, there’s a lot of vocabulary that I didn’t know. After Mr. Catlin told us the main ideas of this story, finally I know the summary of it. The character was in a dark room; he drank some water and felt dizzy. He started to imagine stuff. When he awake, he found out he was on the ground and cannot move. He saw a pendulum swing and almost kill him. This part was the most interesting and exciting part. 

The Early Bird Really Does Get the Worm

        After I finish reading this article about morning and evening people, I really believed that early birds really get the worm. The morning people wake up earlier than other people; they have more time to do their work. Furthermore, this article showed many good things about both morning and evening people. I think I am a morning person; on weekends, I usually get up at the same time as weekdays. No matter how late I go to sleep, I will still wake up early in the next morning. My opinion, wake up early can have more time to prepare for a new day. I usually study in the morning after I wake up, and it really helps. Being a morning person is good, but sometimes I really want to sleep late, but my psychological cycle wakes me up very early. Whenever I wake up, I won’t be able to go back to sleep again. In addition, I really hope I can be an evening person sometimes.

My research topic

Since this year our science fair theme is "saving", I choose "solar energy" for my topic. I'm going to find out how solar energy save electricity, money, and many things in our daily life.

Dr. Heidegger's Experiment

Dr. Heidegger’s Experiment was written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I learn a lot after reading this story. The part I like is when Dr. Heidegger’s four guesses drank the fountain of youth and became younger than before. They were too happy, but became foolish at the same time. They wanted to drink more and became younger. But after the water of youth was all on the ground, they became old again. Dr. Heidegger learned that we cannot go back to the past; we cannot be young again, do things we did not do or we regret to do. We cannot go back and change our mistakes we made before. Those four guesses, on the other hand, did not learn the lesson; they even wanted to travel to Florida to find the Fountain of Youth.
