22、 Of all the components of a good night's sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control. In dreams, a window opens into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak. A century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears; by the late 1970s, neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just 'mental noise'-the random byproducts of the neural-repair work that goes on during sleep. Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind's emotional thermostat(恒温器), regulating moods while the brain is 'off-line'. And one leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better, 'It's your dream', says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of psychology at Chicago's Medical Center, 'If you don't like it, change it'.
Evidence from brain imaging supports this view. The brain is as active during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep-when most vivid dreams occur-as it is when fully awake, says Dr. Eric Nofzinger at the University of Pittsburgh. But not all parts of the brain are equally involved; the limbic system (the 'emotional brain') is especially active, while the prefrontal cortex (the center of intellect and reasoning) is relatively quiet. 'We wake up from dreams happy or depressed, and those feelings can stay with us all day', says Stanford sleep researcher Dr. William Dement.
The link between dreams and emotions shows up among the patients in Cartwright's clinic. Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier ones before awakening, suggesting that they are working through negative feelings generated during the day. Because our conscious mind is occupied with daily life we don't always think about the emotional significance of the day's events-until, it appears, we begin to dream.
And this process need not be left to the unconscious. Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams. As soon as you awaken, identify what is upsetting about the dream. Visualize how you would like it to end instead; the next time occurs, try to wake up just enough to control its course. With much practice people can learn to, literally, do it in their sleep.
At the end of the day, there’s probably little reason to pay attention to our dreams at all unless they keep us from sleeping of 'we wake up in a panic', Cartwright says. Terrorism, economic uncertainties and general feelings of insecurity have increased people’s anxiety. Those suffering from persistent nightmares should seek help from a therapist. For the rest of us, the brain has its ways of working through bad feelings. Sleep-or rather dream-on it and you'll feel better in the morning.
【1】Researchers have come to believe that dreams__________.
A.reflect our innermost desires and fears B.are a random outcome of neural repairs
C.can be modified in their courses D.are vulnerable to emotional changes

C.worsen in our unconscious mind D.persist till the time we fall asleep

B.dreaming may not entirely belong to the unconscious
C.visualizing bad dreams helps bring them under control
D.waking up in time is essential to the ridding of bad dreams

Kids love the all-knowing Google. Your kids likely use Google to help them find everything from information for homework assignments, to funny cat videos, and everything in between. Sometimes kids can take a "wrong turn" on Google and end up in a dark part of the Internet where they shouldn't be. Thankfully, Google has some parental control features that parents can implement to at least help reduce the volume(量) of crap(废物) that ends up in search results,which can enable you to help keep your curious kids from ending up on the wrong side of the tracks.
What is Google SafeSearch? Google SafeSearch is one of the primary parental control options offered by Google to help parents police search results.
