Here's one I heard on the radio this morning. The original (which I doubt I've reproduced word for word) seemed to be part of a poem, but since I was only half-listening at the time I can't be sure. Do unborn babies dream in their mothers' wombs? And, if so, what do they dream about?Okay, so they are probably pretty silly thoughts, but those questions got me thinking, anyway... (Developmentally speaking, do we have any idea at what age people start to dream?) Krissie Interesting Krissie, maybe we should have a dream thread. It is such an interesting topic. I got thinking about my granddaughter at two relating a dream, and wonder if they start to occur as soon as a baby starts seeing images. So what of a blind child, with no visual images? I have been bothered lately that I don't seem to recall dreams like I used to. I use to be able to wake and relate a whole dream sequence, and lately I know that I have had a dream and when I try thinking about it, it just goes away. It does bother me that I don't seem to recall them as well. |

I'm sure everyone does, but when you don't remember....What does that say about me? Sorry. Don't mean to pull the thread off track. Back to our regularly scheduled program. |

Here is an email I just got. Too funny. Just be glad you don't work here. (Wasn't sure where to put this, but next time you feel like complaining about your job, think of this and maybe it won't be so bad.)
Office Memo
To: All Employees
Dear Staff,
It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada sneakers and carrying a Gucci bag we assume that you are doing well financially and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress in-between, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.
Personal Days:
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday and Sunday.
Sick Days:
We will no longer accept a doctor statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.
Restroom Use:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom. There is now a strict 3 minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of 3 minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open and a picture will be taken. After your second offense, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offender" category.
Surgery:
As long as you are employed here, you need all your organs. You should not consider removing anything. We hired you intact. To have something removed will constitute a breach of employment.
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations, allegations, accusations, contemplation, and input should be directed elsewhere.
Have a nice week.
Cathy

I was more or less thinking out loud about the 900. To put it in perspective...I would have to do 2659 posts before Anita posts again to catch up with her. |

Do unborn babies dream in their mothers' wombs? And, if so, what do they dream about?Developmentally speaking, do we have any idea at what age people start to dream? Krissie Apparently there has been ultrasound video of babies dreaming in the womb aka evidence of their eyes moving in REM sleep patterns. I have not managed to find such video. I have also heard anecdotally that twins in the womb have been known to touch each other and cuddle. I know it sounds far out but this was from a web site for twins ( Perhaps Kathy and Mary should join  ) and they sell amazing pre-natal video, would they claim it if they couldn't show it? Has anyone seen it? |

Thanks for the suggestion about the twin web site!
I have heard about the ultrasound documenting REM sleep patterns in the womb, but have not seen or heard anything about twins touching and cuddling in the uterus. From what I have read the majority of twins develop in separate sacs. Fraternal twins definitely each have their own sac. Depending on when the egg splits, identical twins have their own sacs as well. From Wikepedia, identicals account for 3 in every 1000 deliveries and only 1% of those share the same sac. But I would absolutely believe that if they are in the same sac, they touch and cuddle - it gets cramped in there! My granddaughters are identical, but each was in their own sac, so I can't ask them!!
