Maybe the most under rated system...

In our body is the Lymph system? Could be.

Not a lot of people know that is is as big as our circulatory system -
but since it has no pump, like the heart, it doesn't get much
recognition.

But it sure is important. There are so many organs and systems in our
body that produce waste and by-products and they don't just
evaporate - they are carried away by the lymph system.

The only challenge, since there is no pump, this system can only work
through movement of the body and muscles to help carry things away - so
if we don't move or exercise - the waste and by-products, stay
put...backing up our bodies and creating a "toxic situation" that can
breed other challenges.

Cats don't move much - but they stretch a lot...so if we aren't moving
the way we need to - maybe do what cats do...it's the next best things
to get things moving;

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.
