La favola che avrebbero dovuto raccontarci da piccole

C’era una volta in un paese lontano lontano,una bellissima principessa, indipendente e sicura di sè. Incontrò una rana mentre stava seduta, contemplando argomenti ecologici sulle sponde di un laghetto incontaminato, in un prato verde vicino al suo castello. La rana le saltò in grembo e disse: “Elegante Signora, io ero un bel principe finchè una strega cattiva non mi fece un incantesimo. Un bacio da te, comunque, ed io ritornerò ad essere il bel principe che sono. E poi, dolcezza, noi ci potremo sposare e mettere su casa nel tuo castello insieme a mia madre. Tu potrai cucinare per me, lavare i miei vestiti, portare nel tuo grembo i miei figli ed esserne per sempre grata”. Quella sera, mentre la principessa cenava beatamente con gambe di rana saltate in padella, vino bianco ed una salsa di cipolle, ridacchiava mentre pensava tra sé ”COL CAZZO!!”.

interesting facts about dreaming

from http://artistabella.tumblr.com/

1. You Forget 90% of Your Dreams
Within 5 minutes of waking, half of your dream is forgotten. Within 10, 90% is gone

2. In Our Dreams We Only See Faces, That We already Know
Our mind is not inventing faces – in our dreams we see real faces of real people that we have seen during our life but may not know or remember. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces throughout our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams.

3. Not Everybody Dreams in Color
A full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and white. The remaining number dream in full color. Studies from 1915 through to the 1950s maintained that the majority of dreams were in black and white, but these results began to change in the 1960s. Today, only 4.4% of the dreams of under-25 year-olds are in black and white. Recent research has suggested that those changing results may be linked to the switch from black-and-white film and TV to color media.

4. Emotions
The most common emotion experienced in dreams is anxiety. Negative emotions are more common than positive ones

5. You can have four to seven dreams in one night.
On average, you can dream anywhere from one or two hours every night.

6. Animals Dream Too
Studies have been done on many different animals, and they all show the same brain waves during dreaming sleep as humans. Watch a dog sleeping sometime. The paws move like they are running and they make yipping sounds as if they are chasing something in a dream.

7. Body Paralysis
During REM sleep the body is paralyzed by a mechanism in the brain in order to prevent the movements which occur in the dream from causing the physical body to move. However, it is possible for this mechanism to be triggered before, during, or after normal sleep while the brain awakens.

8. Men and Women Dream Differently
Men tend to dream more about other men. Around 70% of the characters in a man’s dream are other men. On the other hand, a woman’s dream contains almost an equal number of men and women. Aside from that, men generally have more aggressive emotions in their dreams than the female lot.

9. Precognitive Dreams
Results of several surveys across large population sets indicate that between 18% and 38% of people have experienced at least one precognitive dream and 70% have experienced déjà vu. The percentage of persons that believe precognitive dreaming is possible is even higher, ranging from 63% to 98%.

Nothing is Original

http://www.flickr.com/photos/krishhtine/4148870584/

Nothing is original.
Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels
your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books,
paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations,
architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies
of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal
from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your
work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is
invaluable; originality is nonexistent. And don’t bother
concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it.
In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said:
“It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you
take them to.
— Jim Jarmush

Ricordi

Così fa il destino: potrebbe filar via invisibile e invece brucia dietro di sé, qua e là, alcuni istanti, fra i mille di una vita.
Nella notte del ricordo, ardono quelli, disegnando la via di fuga della sorte.
Fuochi solitari, buoni per darsi una ragione, una qualsiasi.

Alessandro Baricco, Castelli di Rabbia

Feel

Most people dream in colour. I feel in colour.
