K-pop legend: PSY

Well I know it's been awhile since I last updated....so I am doing an update on k-pop stars again.This time it will be PSY...You know who he is...THE GUY THAT PERFORMS GANGNAM STYLE!!!!!

So....PSY (the name comes from the word psychic) is 35 years old,born at 31/12.1977,he is married with twin daughters and he is the one who wrote the worldwide suceesul Gangnam Style.That is the general information.

In an interview it was said some interesting stuff about his concerts.His average concert lasts for about 3-3:30 hours or so,and at about 2,5 hours (as normally expected) he gets extremely tired and his legs start giving out from the pressure and dance and stuff.So,there is a DJ stand put up as a scenery and he performs behind it,hiding his bottom half of the body.During that time,there are specialists who perform acupuncture in order to keep the pressure on his legs normal.Except of that,he has an oxygen machine backstage,so when he can't breath right (from the whole singing and panting) he goes over and takes a few brief breaths before returning onstage.Impressive,huh???

Also,check out his song "It's Art" and "Father" who I personally recomend for being AWESOME!!!!

10 Common and Weird Dreams People Have

Dreams are the subject of great debate amongst dream experts, sleep researchers and doctors. Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud once stated: "Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy." Here are some of the most common and weird dreams many people experience while they sleep.

1. Flying Dreams

Flying dreams, with or without wings, airplanes, and other aircraft, often indicate an overall sense of accomplishment, freedom, and sense of power. Conversely, problems encountered while flying (power lines, trees, mountains, mechanical breakdowns, fear of flying too high, etc..) indicate struggles to stay on course. Often this means something or someone is standing in your way from moving forward or that you're afraid of the next step and success.

2. Sex Dreams

Most of us have startled awake having traveled in our slumber to the arms of a stranger, ex, neighbor, mailman, or even a same gendered friend, to rise confounded and guilty next to our partner. Don't worry, you're not losing your mind. Dreaming of sex is often just fantasy, but could also mean your subconscious is working on merging parts of your inner self with your outer world. Dreaming of coital relations with your ex may signify your anxiety or hesitation to begin a new relationship or enter a new situation. Dreaming of sex with a stranger may be an indicator to loosen some of your inhibitions, dump emotional baggage, and may relate to your uncertainty about the future. If you dream of multiple partners, it may indicate your emotional detachment from a present relationship. If you dream of homosexual activities when you're heterosexual, often it means you need to cultivate your self love and get in touch with your sexuality and is not usually an indicator of harbored homosexuality.

3. Public Nudity Dreams

Many folks have had the naked dream: going dans le buff to work, sitting barebottomed on the bus, just doing your day to day activities and realizing you are without clothes. This dream often reflects a variety of issues, depending upon your response to your nakedness in the dream. If you're embarrassed of your public nudity, you could be concealing something from yourself or others, are seeking acceptance, or are in a new environment which causes fear or apprehension. Being naked in a classroom often indicates that you're off guard, unprepared to make a decision, or fear exposure. Being nude in a dream while no one else cares (or notices) often symbolizes freedom, honesty, openness, or perhaps even attention seeking in manner which is detrimental to personal well being.

4. Falling Dreams Dreams

Falling dreams are a terrifying phenomenon nearly every person experiences at one point or another in their lives. Falling dreams often signify imbalance, insecurity, anxiety, inferiority, and/or the feeling that a situation in your life is out of control. Sigmund Freud believed falling dreams were an indication that the dreamer is considerably lacking indiscretion and standing at the threshold of giving into sexual urges and impulses. The Bible states falling dreams are a reflection of negatively turning away from God and acting against accordance with Him. Contrary to popular belief, hitting ground during a falling dream will not kill the dreamer.

5. Test Dreams

Test dreams also indicate a sense of anxiety, fears of scrutiny, or agitation stemming from a perplexing experience in your waking life. Most test dreams indicate self esteem issues and an overall lack of confidence depending upon the activities in your sleeping state. If you dream you fail a test, arrive late for a test, or your pencil keeps breaking and you can't take the test, it often translates that in your wakeful world, you are not living up to others' expectations of you. Often test dreams reveal wakeful feelings of inferiority. Test dreams also may mean you feel you are being judged or that you're neglecting an integral aspect of your self, your feelings, or your experience.

6. Chase Dreams

Chase dreams are based in the "flight or fight" instinct. Often they stem from anxiety, fear of physical threat, or stressful situations based in your wakeful life. The actions taken in your dream and how you respond to the chase often parallel your response to difficulties encountered when you are awake. Paying attention to what chases you while you are dreaming give you a better idea how to lasso and face your fears. Often chase dreams mirror our feelings of anger, jealousy, fear, or threatened love. If you are chasing something in your dream, it indicates that you may be falling behind in terms of your drive and ambitions. If you are attacked following the chase, it may indicate physical vulnerabilities and the fear of violence.

7. Car Accident/Break Down Dreams

Car accidents and/or car problems often reveal an emotional state driven by anxiety and fear regarding one's chosen path. Often when we dream of these instances, it's our inner wisdom eliciting a warning to slow down, redirect, or rethink our present path to determine if its the one we really want to be on. Car accident and breakdown dreams are a direct symbol of our wakeful situations which make us feel out of control. Re-evauluating our wakeful lives and regaining control of ourselves is often implied by car accident or break down dreams.

8. Death Dreams Of Self Or Others

If you dream of death or dying, it often indicates change and usually is not a prophetic indicator of your death or someone elses. To dream of death or dying often means you are going through a transition, are lacking a specific skill or trait necessary to navigate present circumstances, or evolving in your development. Dreaming of death also may signify you are trying to shirk responsibility and demands of your waking life or need a new start.

9. Trapped Dreams

To dream you are lost or trapped often signifies feelings of restraint, imposition, restriction and confinement in your career, personal relationships, or because of health issues. This dream is often a good indicator to let go of your past and determine what is hindering your growth in your waking life. This dream often stems from loss, fear, indecision, and/or unresolved issues from your past.

10. Break Ins/Burglary Dreams

If you dream of break ins or being burglarized, it often indicates a feeling of helplessness, violation, or invasion of your space. This dream often occurs following highly traumatizing life experience, a major life change, or relationship issue. Burglary dreams often are a symptom of post traumatic stress and are the body's signal to slow down, allow yourself to adjust, and, if recurring, perhaps seek the help of a qualified professional to assist you in working through your emotions.

DREAMS...everything you should know (litterally)

Dreams are successions of imagess, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.The content and purpose of dreams are not definitively understood, though they have been a topic of scientific speculation, as well as a subject of philosophical and religious interest, throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is called oneirology.
Dreams mainly occur in the rapid-eye movement (REM) stage of sleep—when brain activity is high and resembles that of being awake. REM sleep is revealed by continuous movements of the eyes during sleep. At times, dreams may occur during other stages of sleep. However, these dreams tend to be much less vivid or memorable. Dreams can last for a few seconds, or as long as twenty minutes. People are more likely to remember the dream if they are awakened during the REM phase.
Dreams have been seen as a connection to the unconscious. They range from normal and ordinary to overly surreal and bizarre. Dreams can have varying natures, such as frightening, exciting, magical, melancholic, adventurous, or sexual. The events in dreams are generally outside the control of the dreamer, with the exception of lucid dreaming, where the dreamer is self-aware. Dreams can at times make a creative thought occur to the person or give a sense of inspiration.
Opinions about the meaning of dreams have varied and shifted through time and culture. Dream interpretations date back to 5000-4000 BC. The earliest recorded dreams were acquired from materials dating back approximately 5000 years, in Mesopotamia, where they were documented on clay tablets. In the Greek and Roman periods, the people believed that dreams were direct messages from the gods, or from the dead and that they predicted the future. Some cultures practiced dream incubation with the intention of cultivating dreams that are prophetic.
The Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud, who developed the discipline of psychoanalysis, wrote extensively about dream theories and interpretations. He explained dreams as manifestations of our deepest desires and anxieties, often relating to repressed childhood memories or obsessions. In The Interpretation of Dreams, Freud developed a psychological technique to interpret dreams and devised a series of guidelines to understand the symbols and motifs that appear in our dreams.


There is no universally accepted biological definition of dreaming. In 1952, Eugene Aserinsky identified and defined rapid eye movement (REM) sleep while working in the surgery of his PhD adviser. He noticed that the sleepers' eyes fluttered beneath their closed eyelids. Later he used a polygraph machine to record the sleepers' brainwaves during the periods of this activity of their eyes. In one session, he awakened a subject who was wailing and crying out during REM and confirmed his suspicion that dreaming was occurring. In 1953, Aserinsky and his advisor published the ground-breaking study in Science.
Accumulated observation has shown that dreams are strongly associated with rapid eye movement sleep, during which an electroencephalogram (EEG) shows brain activity that, among sleep states, is most like wakefulness. Participant-remembered dreams during NREM sleep are normally more mundane in comparison. During a typical lifespan, a person spends a total of about six years dreaming (which is about two hours each night). Most dreams only last 5 to 20 minutes. It is unknown where in the brain dreams originate, if there is a single origin for dreams or if multiple portions of the brain are involved, or what the purpose of dreaming is for the body or mind.
During REM sleep, the release of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine, serotonin and histamine is completely suppressed. As a result, motor neurons are not stimulated, a condition known as REM atnia. This prevents dreams from resulting in dangerous movements of the body.
According to a report in the journal Neuron, rat brains show evidence of complex activity during sleep, including the activation in memory of long sequences of activity. Studies show that various species of mammals and birds experience REM during sleep, and follow the same series of sleeping states as humans.
Despite their power to bewilder, arouse, frighten or amuse, dreams can often be ignored in mainstream models of cognitive psychology. As methods of introspection were replaced with more self-consciously objective methods in the social sciences in 1930s and 1940s, dream studies dropped out of the scientific literature. Dreams were neither directly observable by an experimenter nor were subjects' dream reports reliable, being prey to the familiar problems of distortion due to delayed recall, if they were recalled at all. According to Sigmund Freud, dreams are more often forgotten entirely, perhaps due to their prohibited character. Altogether, these problems seemed to put them beyond the realm of science.
The discovery that dreams take place primarily during a distinctive electrophysiological state of sleep, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which can be identified by objective criteria, led to the rebirth of interest in this phenomenon. When REM sleep episodes were timed for their duration and subjects woken to make reports before major editing or forgetting could take place, it was determined that subjects accurately matched the length of time they judged the dream narrative to be ongoing to the length of REM sleep that preceded the awakening. There is no "time dilation" effect; a five-minute dream takes roughly five minutes of real time to play out. This close correlation of REM sleep and dream experience was the basis of the first series of reports describing the nature of dreaming: that it is a regular nightly, rather than occasional, phenomenon, and a high-frequency activity within each sleep period occurring at predictable intervals of approximately every 60–90 minutes in all humans throughout the life span.
REM sleep episodes and the dreams that accompany them lengthen progressively across the night, with the first episode being shortest, of approximately 10–12 minutes duration, and the second and third episodes increasing to 15–20 minutes. Dreams at the end of the night may last as long as 15 minutes, although these may be experienced as several distinct stories due to momentary arousals interrupting sleep as the night ends. Dream reports can be reported from normal subjects on 50% of the occasion when an awakening is made prior to the end of the first REM period. This rate of retrieval is increased to about 99% when awakenings are made from the last REM period of the night. This increase in the ability to recall appears related to intensification across the night in the vividness of dream imagery, colors, and emotions.


REM sleep and the ability to dream seem to be embedded in the biology of many organisms that live on Earth. All mammals experience REM. The range of REM can be seen across species: dolphins experience minimum REM, while humans remain in the middle and the opossum and the armadillo are among the most prolific dreamers.
Studies have observed dreaming in monkeys, dogs, cats, rats, elephants and shrews. There have also been signs of dreaming in certain birds and reptiles.Sleeping and dreaming are intertwined. Scientific research results regarding the function of dreaming in animals remain disputable; however, the function of sleeping in living organisms is increasingly clear. For example, recent sleep deprivation experiments conducted on rats and other animals have resulted in the deterioration of physiological functioning and actual tissue damage of the animals.
In 1954 the theta rhythm was discovered by two scientists at the University of California at Los Angeles when experimenting with rabbits, shrews, moles and rats. The theta rhythm is the oscillatory pattern of electric activity in the brain. This discovery lead to a commentary published in 1972 that explained differences in Theta Rhythm where defined by respective animal behaviors. Awake animals showed high Theta Rhythm when behaving in ways that were crucial to their survival, for example: eating and reproducing. This apparently was a response to a changing environment. The theta rhythm occurs during REM and studies suggest it "reflected a neural process whereby information that is essential to the survival of the species" is gathered throughout the day and is "reprocessed into memory during REM sleep". In conclusion: "dreams may reflect a memory-processing mechanism inherited from lower species".
Some scientists argue that humans dream for the same reason other mammals do. From a Darwinian perspective dreams would have to fulfill some kind of biological requirement or provide some benefit for natural selection to take place. Antti Revonsuo, a professor at the University of Turku in Finland, claims that centuries ago dreams would prepare humans for recognizing and avoiding danger by presenting a simulation of threatening events. This threat-simulation theory was presented in 2000.

KONY 2012

KONY 2012 is a video that was posted by the InvisibleChildren official YouTube channel...

"Joseph Kony is one of the world’s worst war criminals and I support the international effort to arrest him, disarm the lRa and bring the child soldiers home"
this post was made in the official Invisible Children website (link below)
http://www.kony2012.com/

More information about KONY 2012 and Joseph Kony:

Who is Joseph Kony?

Joseph Kony is the world’s worst war criminal. In 1987 he took over leadership of an existing rebel group and renamed it the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).
The LRA has earned a reputation for its cruel and brutal tactics. When Joseph Kony found himself running out of fighters, he started abducting children to be soldiers in his army or “wives” for his officers. The LRA is encouraged to rape, mutilate, and kill civilians–often with blunt weapons.
The LRA is no longer active in northern Uganda (where it originated) but it continues its campaign of violence in Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, and South Sudan. In its 26-year history, the LRA has abducted more than 30,000 children and displaced at least 2.1 million people.

What is the goal of KONY 2012?

Invisible Children has been working for 9 years to end Africa’s longest-running armed conflict. U.S. military advisers are currently deployed in Central Africa on a “time-limited” mission to stop Kony and disarm the LRA. If Kony isn’t captured this year, the window will be gone.

We are taking action to ensure these two things:

1) That Joseph Kony is known as the World’s Worst War Criminal.
2) That the U.S. military advisers support the Ugandan Army until Kony has been captured and the LRA has been completely disarmed. They need to follow through all the way and finish what they have started.

Why are we making Joseph Kony "famous"?

Invisible Children’s KONY 2012 campaign aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice. In this case, notoriety translates to public support. If people know about the crimes that Kony has been committing for 26 years, they will unite to stop him.
Secondly, we want Kony to be famous so that when he is stopped, he will be a visible, concrete example of international justice. Then other war criminals will know that their mass atrocities will not go unnoticed or unpunished.
