  1. I found this very interesting:

    "Dreams about lost things and other minor disasters may give us some kind of competitive advantage. A study in Consciousness and cognition in 2014 looked at students about to take a high-stakes exam. The students who had the most intense stress dreams the night before the exam — often involving lost things, lateness, or, in one memorable case, being handed a slice of bread instead of the exam paper — ended up getting higher grades. The researchers told the Guardian they believe this is something called threat simulation theory, in which brains rehearse all the things that can go wrong to help us cope when they do. So when you dream of forgetting your pen and your pants on the day of an important exam, your brain's gearing up to help you deal with something stressful. "

    Some consolation if we're having stress dreams

      Eh, well some are a bit personal and may not be the best for sharing on the public forums. But in terms of one that I can share, I'd say just hugging, snuggling, and cuddling are very common themes.

      Ah, okay. It reminds me of the Icelandic word, "loghólmi" it also means "log islet" (it's pronounced a bit differently than what many would expect). For Stockolm it is spelt Stokkhólmi. Thanks for sharing that tidbit, I'd like to learn Swedish, I can get some words with the knowledge of Icelandic, but certainly not everything.

      Aren't you scared of telling people online where you're from (like the city)? Maybe that's just me lol or I very much like privacy laws and restrictions :)

      No why would it matter if they knew the city? There are around a million people here, depending on how one counts. The only reason I don't share my identity on here is I think it's nice to have an anonymous place to post that people who interact with me in real life couldn't find.

      Yeah, I tend to forget how large Stockholm is, lol. I've been in villages my entire life and rarely venture out to capital cities or major metropolises.
