The Strangers in Your Dreams are Actually People That You’ve Seen in Real Life!
The human brain is responsible for many complex creations, but it can’t invent the image of people. So the “strangers” that you meet in your dreams actually have the faces of people who you’ve once seen in your real life but forgotten, like your childhood mailman or that guy bumped into on the side walk that one time. Chances are that you’ve laid their eyes on more than a few individuals, and so the brain as a huge cast of characters to play with when you drift off to sleep. Except for in the case of extreme psychological disorder, every human being dreams. In fact, in a recent study, students who were awakened at the beginning of each dream but still allowed 8 hours of sleep, all experienced difficulty concentrating, irritability, hallucinations, and signs of psychosis in a span of three days.
When they were allowed their REM sleep, their brains compensated for the lost time by increasing the percentage of the sleep spent in the REM stage. Dreams are a window into the subconscious. Even though most of the time, they’re completely random, disorganized, and we forget 90% of them within 10 minutes of waking up; many people have drawn inspiration from their dreams. Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein was a based on a dream that she had.

Now there’s scientific proof that words can indeed hurt you just as much as sticks and stones. In a University of California experiment, volunteers were asked to play a computer game designed to make them feel excluded, while brain scans were taken. During the virtual rejection, activity was detected in an area of the brain linked to physical pain. 
They’re called Gigantopithecus, and they are an extinct genus of ape that stood around three meters, or ten feet tall! Gigantopithecus was found in China, India, and Vietnam and lived anywhere from nine million years ago to one hundred thousand years ago. Fossils show that these apes were the largest the world has ever seen, yet the most interesting part is that they could have coexisted with humans!

Before
the 17th century rolled in, almost all carrots cultivated were purple!
The modern day orange carrot wasn’t even cultivated until Dutch growers
in the late 16th century took mutant strains of the purple carrot,

purple carrot) and gradually developed them into the orange variety we
have today.
