Smell and Dreams?

Yes there is a correlation between the types of dreams we have, and
smell.

Studies were conducted where a rose scent was administered, and it resulted
in dreams that were "tinted" as pleasant, where as a sulfuric scent of
rotten eggs, resulted in dreams that were "colored" negatively.

The understanding was that smells and odors influenced dreams through
emotion, rather than through the direct incorporation of smells.

That is because smell and emotion are in the same part of the brain,
the limbic system and there is a link between this system and the
sleep centers of the brain.

So it may be wise to have some nice smelling items around our bed or bedroom
that will give us the pleasant dreams and sleep we all like to have.

Tough times?

All depends.

This current economic time will pass, and it may not be as bad as it
seems - or could be - only time will tell.

But we can handle anything life brings us...thanks to our amazing brain
and it's cognitive abilities - pertaining mostly to the mental process
of perception, memory, judgment and reasoning.

We just need to be mindful to not have it "effect" us negatively and to
act accordingly... having our choices and actions be in alignment with the
current
condition...that way, we will not be "affected" by the current
condition.

When it rains - it can "effect" us and get us wet, but it won't
"affect" us if we put on a raincoat - pretty simple.

We just need to do what we need to do, until the clouds clear, or
complain, make poor choices and get wet - while we are wishing for
sunshine.

Your Brain Sees...

What your thoughts want it to see.

Miserable thoughts seek out miserable things and
situations, to satisfy and confirm those very thoughts.

Your brain's ego is kind of like "a know it
all"...you know the deal, it's your thoughts combined with your ego that
says stuff like "Things are like this and that, and then looks around and
searches for things that support it, so it can say "See, I told you
so".

Therefore, it's pretty simple how to see what you want to
see - just think good things - to position your brain in a positive
direction...your thoughts coupled with your ego will do the rest.
