i wonder why do people dream about certain things 

Not all dreaming is the same. It runs the gamut of human experience and sometimes beyond, incorporating a dizzying range of emotions and events, often with elements of the bizarre. Dreams can be funny, frightening, sad or strange.  Flying dreams can be exciting , chasing dreams can be terrifying, forgot-to-study-for-my-exam dreams can be stressful.

There are types of dreams classification  like nightmares, recurring dreams and lucid dreams. 

Here are some brief points on each of the dreams:

NIGHTMARE:

• is defined as frightening dreams that cause some awakening  people from sleep. 
• Nightmares can result from different triggers, including stress, emotional upheaval, and traumatic experiences. 
• They can occur as side effects of some medications, use and abuse of drugs and alcohol, and illness. 
• Nightmares themselves contribute to disrupted sleep not only by waking the sleeper, but also because they can lead to fear of falling asleep and returning to a disturbing dream. 

RECURRING DREAMS:

• are dreams that re-appear with some pattern of regularity. 
• Studies suggest that recurring dreams may contain more threatening content than regular dreams.
•  Research suggests links between recurring dreams and psychological distress
•  in both adults and children.

LUCID DREAMS :

• are an especially fascinating form of dream.
•  In lucid dreams, the dreamer is aware of the fact that he or she is dreaming, and often can manipulate or control the dream as it unfolds. 
• Research links lucid dreaming to unusually elevated levels of brain activity. 
• Studies have found that lucid dreamers displayed significantly higher
•  brain wave frequencies than non-lucid dreamers, as well as increased activity
•  in parts of the frontal lobe.
•  This area of the brain is deeply involved with conscious awareness, a sense of self, as well as language and memory. 
• Studies of lucid dreams are not only shedding light on the mechanics of dreaming, but also on the neural underpinnings of consciousness itself.

I WONDER WHERE DO CAMELS COME FROM ?

from this website I have learnt that according to a study published today in Nature Communications, researchers have evidence that camels lived all the way up in Canada’s northernmost territory, now home to polar bears, grey wolves and caribou. Far from feeling out of place, camels were ideally suited for the region’s harsh winters and incredibly, the same features that helped them withstand the cold would later help their successors brave the desert.

Before the latest find,researchers unearthed 30 bone fragments between 0.5 and 3 inches long. “It took three field seasons to recover all of the bones that we currently have,” said Natalia Rybczynski of the Canadian Museum of Nature, who led the expedition.Once the fragments were assembled like puzzle pieces, a cloven-hoofed limb resembling those of ancient camels began to take shape. Next, researchers used a technique known as collagen fingerprinting to analyze connective tissue from the bones, which they then compared to Yukon camel specimens and modern dromedaries. The tests confirmed that the fossilized shards probably came from an Arctic camel.

 judging by the size of its leg, scientists concluded that the Arctic camel was about 30 percent larger than today’s desert varieties. Otherwise.  “For example, the wide, flat feet that are useful for walking on sand could also have been useful for walking on snow. In addition, the hump serves as fat storage, so this could have been essential for an animal that would have to survive a long, dark, cold winter. In addition, camels have very large eyes that could also be suitable for seeing in low light.”So which came first, the desert dweller or the winter warrior? Despite their strong association with the Middle East and Africa, camels actually originated in North America some 45 million years ago. Between 3 and 5 million years ago, they crossed the Bering land bridge to Eurasia and eventually migrated south. They also ambled down to South America, where they evolved into llamas and alpacas.

I WONDER WHO DISCOVERED COFFEE

According to legend, ancestors of today's Oromo people in a region of Kaffa in Ethiopia were believed to have been the first to recognize the energizing effect of the coffee plant,though no direct evidence has been found indicating where in Africa coffee grew or who among the native populations might have used it as a stimulant or even known about it, earlier than the 17th century,The story of Kaldi, the 9th-century Ethiopian goatherd who discovered coffee when he noticed how excited his goats became after eating the beans from a coffee plant, did not appear in writing until 1671 and is probably apocryphal.

Other accounts attribute the discovery of coffee to Sheikh Omar. According to an ancient chronicle (preserved in the Abd-Al-Kadir manuscript), Omar, who was known for his ability to cure the sick through prayer, was once exiled from Mocha in Yemen to a desert cave near Ousab (modern-day Wusab, about 90 km east of Zabid). Starving, Omar chewed berries from nearby shrubbery but found them to be bitter. He tried roasting the seeds to improve the flavor, but they became hard. He then tried boiling them to soften the seed, which resulted in a fragrant brown liquid. Upon drinking the liquid Omar was revitalized and sustained for days. As stories of this "miracle drug" reached Mocha, Omar was asked to return and was made a saint. From Ethiopia, the coffee plant was introduced into the Arab World through Egypt and Yemen.

this makes me wonder why coffee is bitter?

I wonder why Pluto is a dwarf planet ?

From this  website I've learnt that Pluto was spotted, it was thought to be the predicted object and was identified as a ninth planet.

A few decades later, astronomers started discovering more and more objects around other stars and didn’t know whether to call them planets or not. There appeared to be a need to define what a planet means, and that led to what some people consider Pluto’s demotion to a dwarf planet.

The International Astronomical Union decided that full-sized planets must orbit the sun, have a round shape, and have cleared their orbits of other objects. Pluto fulfills the first two criteria, but not the third.

It still goes around the sun, it’s round enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both unconventional and favorable more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.

Now this makes me wonder why how did we have the rest of the planets

school uniform should be important 

why is school uniform important?
I agree that school uniform is important because it makes everyone feel equal.it is the pride of the school.it is a school rule, if there wasn't a school rule to wear an uniform students would be bullied and compared to others.Most students would like to be the way there peers/friends are and some students would be neglected by their friends.The school uniform also can be stylish in colour pattern.

A school uniform can be asolution to these problems.
