Photos from the past

Photographs have long been used to record special and unique moments – birthdays, weddings and the occasional selfie are all commonplace. But these next 30 photographs go beyond the norm – they encapsulate the mood, tone and values of yesteryear, a compelling account of the evolution of our values if you will. From landmarks in history, strange feats of physical endurance through to peculiar devices & oddball characters we hope this series of images will astound, confound and enthrall you.

Some Amazing Facts about Dreams…!

Dreams have always intrigued us since time immemorial. It is also said there were specific dream interpreters in the courts of kings in early civilizations. However, in the 1800s the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud and subsequently, his successor Carl Jung, revolutionized the world of dreams. Since then a lot has been studied in this field but dreams astound us with varied meanings and interpretations every time we witness them.
Some of the most interesting facts about dreams in the trailing paragraphs are sure to take one by surprise.
1. While dreaming we become temporarily paralyzed


Not many of us are aware that we become temporarily paralyzed in the dream state. This can be attributed to the fact that sometimes we may be so moved with certain dramatic dreams as to fall and hurt ourselves, thus, as a natural response the body goes into a temporary inactive state physically.

2. We can control our dreams


In what is known as a "Lucid dreaming" phase one can control their dreams. Thus, one can also manipulate their dreams and even the outcomes! Another interesting fact is that one dreams things one has witnessed some time before in their life.

3. Dreams can cause incorporation


How often have we dreamt we were hungry or thirsty or performing an act repeatedly in our sleep until we wake up and undertake the activity? Sometimes one could dream of drinking glasses of water only to wake up and be very thirsty!

4. Dreams speak in indirect language



Dreams never utilize symbols they actually stand for. A lot of research has already gone into the subject and books have been written on dream symbols and their interpretations. Dreams carry deep meanings that only the subconscious mind can understand.

5. Dreams are very difficult to remember


Often when we wake up we fail to remember even a single sequence of the dream we had during the night. A strange fact remains therefore, that dreams are almost always forgotten, except if a person is woken up at the REM stage.

Amazing Wooden Egg House.

The association of SPUD Group, PAD Studio and Stephen Turner developed the project of a floating wooden house Exbury Egg. The tiny home offers the space designed to be a temporary laboratory. There is only the minimum necessary: a shower, a stove, a seat, small storage systems and a hammock bed. The Exbury Egg uses only the sun as a source of energy. The nice wooden color creates an atmosphere of relaxation and harmony with nature. The form of the house attracts attention, and, at the same time, it is perfectly adapted to the natural landscape of the riverbanks.
