What Is Funny?

You have lost one of your senses, such as sight, or hearing

In this dream, you suddenly find you cannot see anything, or hear. Or maybe food has no taste. The dream suggests you are suffering from a lack of control in your life. Perhaps you feel powerless and literally cannot speak in certain situations or you feel blind to the miseries of the world.  Maybe you do not enjoy the taste of certain citrus fruits like you used to.  In reaction to this feeling, your senses are literally sending you a warning that they plan on shutting down in the near future. Address the situation immediately as this is not an idle threat! If you dream of going blind and do not make changes in your life, you will go blind in the near future. And you may go deaf too, just because your senses are vindictive and cruel that way.

You are back in school and have not been attending class

This dream is common to those who have left school, and can be quite upsetting, but it always means the same thing: someone you love is going to kill you.  What your subconscious hopes is that by having this dream, you will be compelled to return to your childhood home and visit the school you went to as a child, thus giving the police a few extra days to thwart your potential killer’s plans. Why your subconscious comes up with such a convoluted warning system is just another of those evolutionary quirks.

Your teeth are falling out or are loose

To interpret this, remember that teeth are like money, in that if you put them under your pillow, someone will give you money (or you can sell them on the internet where they are popular as a more chic alternative to ivory).  Once you understand this, the dream’s meaning is clear. While you are sleeping, someone is trying to wrench your teeth from out of your mouth. This could be a loved one you sleep with, a roommate, or a “tooth burglar,” a common bandit that slips in through the window at night and tries to steal your teeth while you sleep. Luckily, teeth are almost impossible to remove in this way, so the result is usually just mild soreness and a weird dream.

You are at work, doing what you normally do each day and nothing interesting happens

Your subconscious is just checked out at this point. It happens.

-

You show up to give a speech and aren’t wearing any clothing

You will win a great sum of money, but loose your favorite casual sweater.

You die

A common question asked in the realm of dream interpretation: “If I die in my dream, will I die in real life?”

Yes…eventually.

Is this man really the greatest danger to runners?

A CNN headline today, boldly declares that LACK OF TRAINING is the greatest danger to runners.  In a piece of muck-raking that’s sure to remind readers of a young Upton Sinclair (not the old, sell-out Upton Sinclair who took a job writing propaganda pieces for Oscar Meyer), CNN uncovers the cause of many running injuries: not training properly.

This bombshell is sure to send shock waves through the running community, though skeptics are sure to point out some problems in the scientific backing of the claim.  Just because people who don’t train for races are more likely to be injured then people who don’t train, doesn’t mean there is a correlation between lack of training and injuries, there could be a third variable, such as gender, age, shoe quality etc. that is at work here.

Worry about running injuries all you want. The bees are just biding their time.

But the greater issue is not the faulty science, or the extreme anti-not-training bias of the report (though both are problematic), it’s the absolute falsity of the claim.  Lack of training IS NOT the greatest danger to runners.  The greatest danger to runners, as to non-runners, is METEORS SMASHING INTO THE EARTH, followed by MEGA TSUNAMIS, and BEES.

Pretty shoddy reporting CNN.
