I bet you’re all well-mannered people. But do you always follow the rules of etiquette in the right way? It’s not only members of the Royal family that have to watch themselves in public.

For instance, it's actually rather rude to say "Bless you" to a person who just sneezed at a business meeting. The same goes for covering your face with your right hand as you sneeze or cough. When you're stirring sugar in your tea, move the spoon but back and forth, like a small pendulum, instead of a circular motion. Here’s a short list of etiquette rules that you might be breaking every day and not even notice.

Isn’t it annoying how targeted ads haunt you wherever you go and whatever you do? You filter them in your mind, not paying attention to what they say, but sometimes they can really give you the creeps. Advertisers follow you everywhere. Literally. For example, if you pass by, say, a bank, you’ll most likely soon get a targeted ad of this same bank and probably even with this same address. 

Advertisers may use geo tags to target you. These tags are basically points on the map, and when you happen to be within a certain distance from one of these points, you start getting specific ads. Let’s say you like to run in a certain park, and there’s a new apartment building somewhere nearby. Most likely you’ll start receiving ads urging you to buy an apartment by that exact address. Interested? Let's investigate the issue!

Kids are amazing. Their vivid imagination and creativity multiplied by their seemingly endless energy resource are things that rarely get carried on to adulthood. Kids don’t have enough experience and knowledge to understand how this world operates, which is why they see things in a different light.

It has been proven that a child’s worldview settles by the time they turn 11 years old, and they become capable of evaluating the world as an adult, solve problems and even make plans for future. Before this age, children perceive the world differently than adults do. Scientists have found out that kids perceive the world differently than adults do. And here’s how exactly!

Now imagine that you’ve been driving for 10 hours non-stop, and that you didn’t really have a good night’s sleep before that either. What do you think may happen while you’re at the wheel? That’s right: microsleep can be dangerous.

Do you sometimes feel like your emotions are so deep and colorful you just can't compete with them? That's a sign that you may be a highly sensitive person. But are you really? If so, what does it even mean? Let's try to figure it out together!

The essence of being a highly sensitive person is closely connected to another important notion: sensory processing sensitivity. This term was created by psychologists Elaine and Arthur Aron back in the ‘90s. They explained that sensory processing sensitivity is basically a temperamental or personality trait that reflects an increased sensitivity of the central nervous system along with deeper cognitive processing of physical, social, and emotional stimuli. Put simply, it means you can have acute responses to pretty much everything from your surroundings to your own thoughts.

Do dreams actually have meanings? Or are they just short movies that your subconsciousness randomly creates? Dreams have always fascinated people. To this day, psychologists conduct extensive research to try and figure out what happens in our mind and body when we sleep.

In ancient Egypt, those with colorful and vivid dreams were considered to be special people. So special that most of their dreams were recorded on papyrus! The Egyptians firmly believed that divine revelation came from dreams, in which you could find all the answers to your worries and gain wisdom. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Sigmund Freud, a famous neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, introduced his perception of dreaming in his book The Interpretation of Dreams. According to Freud, when your consciousness is asleep and resting, your subconsciousness wakes up and produces images that give you a little sneak peek into your deepest self.
