😳 DID YOU KNOW 😲

Sourced by Precious B. Mitambo

WHEN YOU DIE IN A DREAM

When a person dies in a dream, he usually wakes up immediately. This happens because dying in a dream is stressful for the brain, triggering a surge of adrenaline forces the sleeper awake.

The brain also stores such dreams in long-term memory, making them easy to recall. Some believe this happens because the brain does not know what comes after death, so it wakes the dreamer instead. Have you ever died in a dream? What happened?

📝 POEM 📝

STRAIT OF HORMUZ

Written by E. Julius

All about you Hormuz
What's special in you
Isn't it your deep nature?
Which carter with vehicles

Shipping is in you
By creating a Trillion height
With oily tankers
Boom! Boom! Boom!

When the passage made by Dollars
Only non-dollar is allowed
Yes, you belong to the Middle Ones
Your specificity is great

Strait of Hormuz
You're the war breaker

📝 POEM 📝

THE HEART'S SEMICOLON

Written by LogicxYou

A semicolon between my heart's beating separates my emotions.
As I put them to word thinking: no one thinks too much and recognizes he has a heart, so he feels and therefor has to justify why he feels how he feels in the algorithm of thinking that entered him to the focus.
The clarifying to identify themselves in his chest become a personality, a version of himself uses as a voice to the debate of analysis—thinking, agreeing, and disagreeing.
This is Happiness, on this matter; no this is Sadness of it instead ;one after another until no one is left and the stream cuts a river of rupturing foam thoughts ,once stone now popped up bubbles.

📝 POEM 📝

WHEN SILENCE BECOMES TOO LOUD

Written by Dr Thawale

I know the pain feels sharper than any knife
I know it cuts so deeply that even silence grows angry
I know it engulfs your mind like a rising tide
But tell me must silence truly carry all your answers?

Why allow your confidence to wilt before your eyes?
Why turn away from the bare truth of your reality?
How long will you pretend the world is gentle to you,
While flames circle within, unseen by everyone?

Do you know your spirit still holds the strength of mountains?
A burden spoken softens its own weight in your hands
Do not vanish into quiet suffering, my dear
I am here for you in this life, and in the next breath of eternity.

Is silence honestly the path that ends your hurt?
Why not lay your burdens at the feet of Christ
If the world’s hands have left too many bruises on your heart
Try, even once, to release what refuses to let you breathe

So step out from the hush that cages your voice;
Let your truth rise like morning light after a long night
The world may wound, but healing begins with a whisper
And you are never meant to face the storm alone.
