Dream on

Aug 9, 2024 | Publisher's Column

What do you dream about? Not your goals or visions or plans. I mean, what do you literally dream about while sleeping? Well, if you are in the 95% of us who forget our dreams, you simply don’t recall. Seeing how most of us have four to six dreams that last up to 20 minutes each, that’s a lot of dreaming to forget. 

Do you sleepwalk? My brother Steve did when we were kids. I thought it was funny. He didn’t laugh. About 15% of people do sleepwalk, and it can be a dangerous habit, especially when it involves grooming oneself, cooking food, or driving a car.

Do you dream about falling? More than half of Americans do, making this the most common recurring dream. It’s followed by being chased, being back in school, or being naked in public — or in my case, all three at once. These kinds of dreams are likely brought on by stress. 

Does everyone dream? The vast majority of us do, and even blind people can have visual dreams. If you are a pet owner, you likely know that animals dream, too. 

Do we dream in color? Most people do (in pastel colors, to be specific), but about 12% dream in black and white. Either way, the visual aspect is the primary sense. People rarely use their smell or taste senses in dreams.

Did you know that we can only dream about people we’ve seen before? Whether we know them well or just met them briefly, the people in our dreams are all people we have seen prior.

Do you have nightmares? Up to 85% of adults do, at least occasionally. Nightmares are common for children ages 3-6, but the serious ones usually diminish with age. As a child, I would dream that Santa Claus was chasing me down to kill me. I hid under my lower bunk bed in each dream and would wake up in a sweat when he would reach for me. Merry Christmas.

And finally, how about recurring dreams like being late, failing an exam, being attacked, or losing control of a car? I often dream that I am driving a car too fast with hopes I can ramp over open water and land on ground. When it becomes apparent that I can’t, I usually wake up. Recurring dreams occur when people have to deal with unresolved conflicts in their lives. Hmmm.

The Guthrie County Hospital Auxiliary recently donated funds to the Emergency Department to purchase a new infant/toddler scale and cart.

“We are thankful for the support the GCH Auxiliary has provided to help purchase a new infant scale for our emergency department,” Jackie Willms, director of pharmacy, said. “The new infant scale will help our nursing staff obtain accurate weight measurements of some of our smallest patients. Having accurate weights in this population is very important as medications for infants and toddlers are dosed based on the patient’s weight. We cannot thank the GCH Auxiliary enough for their generosity and acknowledgment of the importance of medication safety.”

“The GCH Auxiliary is excited to purchase a new infant/toddler scale and cart for the Emergency Department,” Danielle Lauzon, GCH auxiliary president, said. “Our goal is to support the hospital departments in a way that directly impacts patient experience and improves daily workflows for employees. The Auxiliary is thankful for the generous donations received during our annual fundraising events that make these purchases possible.”
