I have them often - especially when I am stressed about something. I'm actually aware of my physical surroundings as well. I feel extremely tired and have a strange sensation in my eyes and hands at certain times throughout. Most times I'm able to direct the dream (I have horrible nightmares, but if I'm in this state I can pull myself out of it). I also have dreams that are so real I'm sure it happened (most of the time I'm dreaming I completed some task I've been concerned about - very disappointing the next day to find I haven't!) as well as dreams about events that are going to happen (usually little clips, very accurate as far as what people say and do (I never notice clothing or setting, so I'm never sure when something is going to happen) and they are normally enacted within the week - I have no control over these.

It seemed clear to me that anyone watching Al Gore’s documentary regarding the condition of our Earth would be ready to help wherever they could. I was shocked to find that, despite the studies and his attempt to explain them in “real world” terms, some just didn’t get it. Upon traveling into the message boards of the website tied to this movie and elsewhere, I was discouraged to find people stating that the whole thing was a sham and that he didn’t explain things (i.e. how carbon dioxide was trapped in the atmosphere – the cartoon seemed pretty clear to me, what were they looking for??) that could have verified their point. It seems to me that many people simply do not want to put forth the effort required to approach issues such as global warming. I wonder what they think of this whole terrorism farce.
Further research has shown me that we can expect dramatic changes to many countries by 2045 with epic proportions by the year 2100. Now, I may not be alive then, but it’s likely my children will be and assured that my grandchildren will have to deal with the problems caused by displaced populations and lack of resources! My mother often comments that she cares what happens to the Earth because of my children. Unfortunately, this has not motivated her to become less of a consumer or to do at least a little bit of recycling. All I can do is sigh and step it up that much more in the hopes of making at least a small difference.
I believe our first order of business should be just that. Businesses generate a lot of waste and are the biggest consumers. Take a look at NASCAR. The tires used by each team in a single season could likely be recycled to pave hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of parking lots and roads. My recent stay at a local hospital opened my eyes to the usage problems they generate (almost paradoxically to the good they are trying to do). Every morning, two brand new trash liners were placed in the receptacles in my room – regardless if the previous liner had only a pair of gloves in it. Multiply that by 300 rooms! There is so much that can be done to slow our contribution to the problem and maybe more that can help us contribute to a reversal! I was unable to find out which elements we would need to send up into the atmosphere to neutralize the carbon dioxide molecules, but I’m sure there must be something. Also, in the interest of creating jobs for a few years, why don’t we organize teams to go into landfills and remove recyclable wastes (such as glass and plastics)? If someone were to look for something they can do to help the problem, there is certainly no lack of need. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough people taking an interest.

 

I was delighted to see Dr. Masaru Emoto's research on Messages from Water in this thought-provoking film. I had borrowed a book showing the photos of the ice crystals and their messages some time ago and found it quite interesting at that time. I was somewhat disappointed that the movie did not go into much speculation as to what this means to people. The fluid in our bodies is reported to be somewhere around 70 percent water. If this element can be affected by words and attitudes without the influence of a noticeable personality of its own, how does that translate to its response in an individual whose organs rely on this substance in order to function? Obviously, the water we carry does not form ice crystals (on a normal basis - we'll exclude the argument of hypothermia and frostbite for now); however, we cannot discount the possibility that it may be slightly altered due to exposure to negativity.

            How is it altered? I'm not sure. Perhaps its electrons become more unstable, causing the bond between atoms to be shaken. Perhaps the atom itself experiences crises as it "pop[s] in and out of existence" (as stated elsewhere in the video). It's possible the element experiences an influx of an invisible substance that it must contend with, hindering its ability to function properly. Regardless of this lack of understanding, can we make a reasonable hypothesis as to the widespread effect of this phenomenon? Is it possible to measure the consequences of exposure to provocative billboards, rude messages on a t-shirt or violence on television? The relationship between crimes and the media has long been debated and, although I don't believe listening to a certain artist is enough to cause an otherwise "normal" person to act out, is it possible for there to be an imperceptible change in body chemistry that, with repeated exposure and unless counterbalanced, could lead to an event? Could one person, consumed by negative thoughts, cause a great enough imbalance in those around them to explain some senseless, violent actions? Could negative wavelengths spread like an epidemic through our water molecules?

            Furthermore, how could we test this theory? We could measure our current responses to current conditions. We could replace our surroundings with peaceful, encouraging messages. What would we do if we discovered a marked improvement? Would production companies bank on this research to make them money and apply it? Would news centers care about the effect of negative reporting? Unfortunately, we may not likely see much come as a result of looking further into this subject. However, considering the direction we seem to be moving, isn't it worth it?
