time,between 25
and 50
years.
A female carries a huge egg for
its body kiwi is about the same size
as a chicken but
its egg is actually six times as large
as a chicken's egg. The reason
for
this
is
that
the
kiwi
doesn’t
have
to
fly
so
there
aren't

Almost
all
researches
in
sleep
explain
that
nightmares
are
a
reaction
to
negative
experiences
that
happen
during
waking

that

sufferers

themselves
as

）
They also showed more of
a tendency to unconsciously
mirror
other
people
through
things
like
yawning.
People
who
have
constant
nightmares
also
tend
to
think
further
outside
the
box
on
psychoanalysis
tasks,Some
other
researches
have
found
support
for
the
idea
that
nightmares
might
be
linked
to
creativity.
People
seeking
cure
for
nightmares
were
not
necessarily
more
fearful
or
anxious,but
rather
had
a
general
sensitivity
(

)

all
emotional
ivity

the
driving
force
behind
Intense
(

)
ened sensitivity to threats or
fear during the day results in bad
dreams
and nightmares,while
heightened passion or excitement may result in
more intense
positive
both
these
forms
of
dreams
may
feed
back
into
waking
life,
perhaps
increasing suffering after
nightmares,or promoting (

social bonds and
empathy(
共鸣
)after
positive dreams.
The effects
go further sensitivity overflows over into
perceptions and
thoughts:people
who
have
a
lot
of
nightmares
experience
a
dreamlike
quality
to
their
waking
this
kind
of
thinking
seems
to
give
them
a
creative
example,studies show that
such
people tend to have
greater creative
talent and artistic
expression. And people who often have
nightmares also tend to
have
more positive dreams than the average
person.
The
evidence
points
towards
the
idea
that,
rather
than
disturbing
normal
activity,people
who
are
unfortunate
in
having
a
lot
of
nightmares
also
have
a

But despite all of her inabilities,
when I walked in on her having dinner with
the rest of the woman that make up the
dementia floor of the nursing home,I didn't
think she belonged.

It
wasn't
until
I
spent
three
days
there
bonding
with
those
women
that
I
realized
what scared me the most--she did fit in.
If you were an outsider looking at
these women,you'd pity 'd think it
was
cruel that our bodies could turn on us in this

it was sad that
their families

want to scold the lady who

I did all those things to my
