5 Facts You May Not Knew About Dreams

Who doesn’t love to sleep? It’s that moment of the day that even though we can rest for hours and still we don’t have enough. Some people even take naps as a hobby.

But what about those times when we dream of something horrible or creepy? What about the one dream where all of your teeth are falling out? Or those dreams more like nightmares when someone is chasing us or we are falling from a building.

While some things can be explained when it comes to dreams, there’s still so much to be discovered about how and why we dream what we do. But we’ll live you with some interesting facts about dreams.

Women Have More Nightmares Than Men

Jennie Parker, a researcher, was inspired by her own nightmares so she did a Ph.D study in which she found that women suffer more nightmares then men. For the study 100 women and 93 men between the ages of 18-25 were asked to record their most recent dream in their very own “dream journal”. Park concluded that 19 percent of men reported a nightmare compared with 30 percent of women.

Women and Men Are More Often Victims Than Aggressors in Their Dreams

This is according to ‘The Dreams of Men and Women: Patterns of Gender Similarity and Difference.’ In an excerpt it says, “both men and women are more often victims than aggressors in the aggressive interactions in their dreams, and they face the same attackers, namely, men who are not known to them (‘male strangers’) and animals.”

Women’s Dreams Are Also More Emotional

According to the same study above, women were much more likely to dream about very emotionally traumatic events like the loss of a loved one.

60 % Of People Don’t Remember Their Dreams

Maybe you know someone who says that they don’t dream but they do, it’s just that they don’t remember that they did. According to a report in Neuropsychopharmacology, the hypothalamus, or the area of the brain involved in information processing is much more active in people who regularly remember their dreams.

You’re Actually Paralyzed When You Dream

REM sleep is the part of your sleep cycle where you dream the most.  While the brain starts to be more active, your muscles become more relaxed and your voluntary muscles will actually get immobilized, like literally.

Do your remember your dreams?

Top 5 Most Cursed Objects Of The World

We hear a lot about haunted places but we would never imagined a wine cabinet to be cursed, wouldn’t we? These are the type of object that you would believe are really inoffensive, however there are some old artifacts that have demonstrated otherwise.

Dybbuk Box

This wine cabinet is believed to be haunted by a restless and malicious spirit known as Dybbuk, a mythological demon from Jewish folklore which can haunt and possess the living.

Everyone who has been owner of the box, reported to have similar recurring nightmares in which they were attacked by a gruesome demonic hag, and waking up with unexplainable bruises and cuts.

They also claimed to smell a rancid stench of cat urine whenever the box was in their presence and suffered sudden illnesses. One of the owners even saw a shadowy figure lurking in the hallway one night.

King Tut’s Tomb

It is believed to be cursed as peculiar incidents has happened to people who have been involved with it.

Lord Carnarvon, the financier for the search for the late king’s tomb was bitten by a mosquito and died in a delirious fever. But not only that, his pet bird was eaten by a snake, and his dog back in England died.

Then, a radiologist who conducted an X-ray on the body was taken by a mysterious illness.

Among other victims, there was a rich American who passed away of pneumonia after visiting the tomb, and a member of Howard Carter’s excavation team lost his life for arsenic poisoning.

It is much of a coincidence, is it?

The Iceman

This was a prehistoric ancient warrior that was found in the snow-capped Alps in 1991. The German tourist who first discovered him, lost his life during a blizzard while hiking near the spot where the body was found. An hour after his funeral, the leader of the rescue team who look for him, lost his life after having a heart attack.

But that wan’t all, the archaeologist who inspected the body, passed away because of complications from multiple sclerosis, the head of the forensic team who examined the body together with a molecular biologist also lost their lifes.

Otzi currently resides in a refrigerated room at the South Tyrol Archaeological Museum in Bolzano.

Koh-i-Noor Diamond

It literally means “Mountain of Light” in Persian. it was once considered the largest diamond in the world, coming from the state of Andhra Pradesh in India.

Over the years, the diamond has belonged to a variety of Hindu, Mughal, Turkic, Afghan, Sikh, and British rulers who fought each other to obtain the precious stone. At the end, the diamond was taken by the East India Company following the Anglo-Sikh Wars.

However it is said to be cursed as some Hindu text reads, “He who owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only God, or a woman, can wear it with impunity.”

All the men who owned the diamond either lost their throne or experienced terrible misfortunes.

Pupa the Doll

This doll is considered as one of the most haunted objects as it was made in the likeness of its original owner in the 1920s, , an Italian girl who kept Pupa until she died in 2005.

The girl used to claim that Pupa was alive and could speak. When she grew older, she used to tell her grandchildren that the doll was her best friend. But after she passed away, her family locked Pupa in a glass case.

It seemed she didn’t like that as the family reported that Pupa would tap on the glass as if asking to get out. Other times, the glass of the case would steam up and appear some words inscribed that read, “Pupa hate.” The doll also changes body positions and facial expressions and moves things in the display case around her.

Would you dare to own of these objects?

The Best 5 Rituals You Can Practice Only On Halloween Night

As you may or may not know, Halloween is an abbreviation for All Hallow’s Eve. It started as an ancient Celtic festival that celebrated the end of summer known as Samhain, in addition to the celebration of a Celtic New Year and the end of the harvest season .

According to the tradition, the borders between the natural and the superhuman cease to exist and the souls of those who passed away take advantage of the moment to roam the world of the living and hundreds of people take advantage during that night to perform their spells.

Our favorite celebration is happening this Saturday, a day full of mysteries, symbolism and magic and even though this year, we may not celebrate Halloween as any other year or as we may have planned months before, we will tell you which are the best rituals to do on Halloween without exposing yourself too much but still getting the best of it and celebrate Halloween to the fullest.

Ritual for good luck

On Halloween night, place a chestnut on a white cloth for each member of the family, on which the initial of each person will have been drawn with paint or white marker. Cover the chestnuts with bay leaves and cinnamon sticks and close the cloth with a knot.

The next morning each member should take their amulet and keep it on their bedside table. The chestnut will bring good luck all year round.

Ritual to protect your home and business

You should go out into nature to collect some leaves and typical autumn fruits, such as chestnuts or apples. They should be placed in all corners in an odd number and they’ll serve as to protect your house or to attract prosperity for your business. You can also collect laurel and put it on the front door. Everything must be removed on November 3, thanking the protection that will last all year.

Ritual of abundance

In an earthenware or ceramic bowl, you need to place 7 grains of rice, a handful of oats and alfalfa sprouts. Everything is lit with a match and a little charcoal, while going through the home ‘smoking’ each room. You must ask that prosperity comes to your house and your family.  When the fire burns out, bury everything in the nearest garden.

Ritual of the moon

For this ritual, you’ll need a glass box. At midnight go outside, (it can be in your own yard), as long as you’re in a place that can receive moon light. Concentrate on the moon and reflect the light inside the box, while repeating: “In this receptacle of clear material, I keep this strength without equal.”

Before the end of the year, you can use the power imprisoned within the box up to three times to gain the strength, confidence and positive energy you need to achieve a certain goal. To do this you must open the box while repeating: “Fragment of lunar power that you see here, grant me your power for the first time.” While saying this, you must visualize what you want to achieve. The next two times you use your power of light, instead of saying “for the first time”, just change the final by saying “for the second time” and “for the third time” respectively.

Once you used it three times, you have to wash it with water that has also received the moonlight, dry and wrap it with a white cloth until next Halloween.

Love ritual

You’ll need a glass of water, a bowl, a couple of cinnamon sticks, and a red candle. In order for it to work out, you have to be alone in a quiet room. Write on a sheet your name and six aspects that are hurting you or you don’t want to repeat again in the relationship you are at the moment. If you are single right now, you can still write 6 aspects of past relationships that hurted you or don’t want to experience in the future.

Light the candle. Read aloud what you wrote three times and visualize all of that moving away. Burn the paper in the bowl with the cinnamon, and turn it off when it has burned with the water in the glass. Through a window, throw the content away from you and let the red candle to consume. This will help your relationship to be healthier and happier, or to attract a future love.

Lost in Space

Legend has it that the ‘Black Knight’ satellite has orbited the world for 13,000 years. Although its true origin remains unknown, there are some theories. The first is that it is actually a thermal blanket that was lost in space during a mission. The second theory is that it’s just some pieces of debris. It is also said that the Black Knight has allegadly sent signals to Earth that have been inspected by NASA, but there have been no clear answers regarding its exact purpose.

Ape on the loose

In 2000, a woman who has chosen to remain anonymous mailed photos of what she claimed to be a monkey in the backyard of her home in Sarasota County, Florida. In addition to the photographies, the woman also sent a letter to the sheriff’s department that detailed the monkey’s strange behavior. While skeptics believe that the creature was just a black bear, the truth is that it does not look much like a bear, but rather a creature like an large ape.

Guests no identified

On May 20, 1967, near Falcom Lake in Manitoba, Canada, Stefan Michalak experienced something he would never forget on his weekend getaway. While hanging out in the lake, Michalak saw two circular objects descending in his direction, landing right next to him. He claimed that when the objects landed, the doors got opened and heard voices speaking to him in a strange language. When he tried to examine the alleged spacecrafts, he burned himself with a grid-shaped vent that also flamed his clothing. What actually happened that day remains a mystery, however Michalak has the burns on him that proves that what he said may be true.

Haunted hospital

This abandoned hospital in Waverly Hills, Kentucky, has had some creepy visitors hanging around for a while. In this photo, you can see what appears to be an old hospital patient who has returned to roaming her old grounds, even stopping for the picture.

Extra hands

For these young students, to have a pic together may be something fun. However when it was revealed, it probably scared them for life as there are two dark hands that do not belong to any of the students. While this could be due to a problem of motion, some believe these are the hands of real ghosts.

Christmas spirit

As this adorable family gathers around the tree, another person is there patiently to open some presents. The spirit that you can see on the ground may have lived in the house, or it was just felt lonely during the holidays. Either way, this was a huge surprise to the family when they looked at the photo after it was taken. Their Christmas celebrations must have been so epic that this hideous guest wanted to join in too!

Everything We Know About Hocus Pocus 2 So Far

Last year it was confirmed that a sequel for the 1993 Halloween classic was being developed by Disney+.

Jen D’ Angelo was hired to write the script for Hocus Pocus 2 and also had been tasked to find a way to include the original main cast, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy at the time.

The film was originally directed by Kenny Ortega, and told the story of a teen boy who moves to Salem with his family and struggles to fit in before awakening three witches known as the Sanderson Sisters. Throughout the years, Hocus Pocus has become something of a cult classic.

“I would like to see a sequel, and I think that the fans would like to see a sequel,” Ortega told ET at the time. “I think it would be much more fun to bring the ladies back. They’re all still vital and in their prime and capable of doing so much that it would be great to see Bette and Kathy and Sarah come back together to do another movie and I think they would like to.”

Early this year, Adam Shankman (Hairspray)  confirmed to be the director on Instagram.

He is currently working on another film for Disney, the Amy Adams-starring Enchanted sequel, Disenchanted.

“I feel incredibly honored and humbled to be guiding forward these two Disney crown jewel legacies. My only hope is to honor those who came before me and build something new and exciting, as I desperately try to not let down the fans and enchant the new initiates! Fingers crossed! Xo”, he expressed.

On Twitter, he added, “I hope to please all the loyal fans. That’s what I tried to do with Hairspray. That’s what my goal is here.”

Our favorite trio have yet to be officially confirmed for the sequel, though each has expressed interest in returning. In the meantime, they will virtually reunite for a good cause in October for “In Search of the Sanderson Sisters: A Hocus Pocus Hulaween Takeover.”

Hocus Pocus wouldn’t be the same without the original cast so let’s finger crossed to get these news anytime soon!

Don’t Breathe 2: Stephen Lang Confirms That He Has Already Shot His Part Of The Film

Don’t Breathe was released in 2016, produced and directed by Fede Álvarez. The film stars Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette, Daniel Zovatto, and Stephen Lang, and focuses on three friends who get trapped inside a blind man’s house while breaking into it.

The film became one of the surprising horror hits of 2016, which led to the news of a sequel was being developed a while back, and when ScreenRant asked Stephen Lang who played the very deadly blind man in the first film, he replied, “Oh yeah, we’re doing a sequel.”

Now, Don’t Breathe 2, which is reportedly titled Don’t Breathe Again, lately, is currently in the works. Stephen Lang reported via twitter that he’s wrapped filming.

There are not many details  yet about the plot for the sequel, only that the film is being directed by Rodo Sayagues. Producer Sam Raimi is really excited about the project, telling IGN: “It’s only the greatest idea for a sequel I’ve ever heard. I’m not kidding.”

In that same interview, Álvarez added: “The challenge obviously is we just don’t want to do the same movie again and just have 2 in it. We’ll feel so embarrassed if we do that. At first our reaction when they told us was no no no no no that’s Hollywood, that’s the devil pushing us to do something just because we can. And then we had an idea that we got really excited about, we won’t tell you what it is, it’ll spoil the whole thing.”

Álvarez also said: “It’s exciting to see a character you want to see more out of it. At least I do. I’d love to see the blind man on the screen do some other things. What’s going to happen with him in his life?” This certainly indicates that Lang’s blind man character plays a major part, which brings us back to the start of this story: filming is either completed or close to it.
