Since his three year-old, Lucas started to ask questions. His curiosity was expanding day by day. Sometimes, he asks me questions which are very philosophical and has no 'model answers'.
One night, he sneaked into my bed, he always does this when he doesn't want to sleep in his own bed (actually almost everyday). I tucked him under my blanket, he stared at the ceiling, the started the Q&A session. I tried my best to answer based on my understanding and knowledge I knew from National Geographic.
L: Lucas
M: Manki
L: 'Why do human dream?'
M: 'Human should consolidate and tidy up their memory and the information they receive in daytime when they sleep. During sleeping, the whole body will rest except the brain. That's why you can see some images fluttering even when you close your eyes. This is like you bring all your toys out in the daytime, and tidy them up once you finish playing.
There are sweet dreams and nightmares. If you have had a sweet dream, when you wake up, put a broad smile on your face. If you have had a nightmare, don't worry, it is not real.
L: 'Why do kids grow taller but not grown up?'
M: Most people grow taller between 0-21 year-old, once they turn into grown ups, you will not get taller, but start to get older, This is the life cycle. When you get old, you may find someone you truly love, then you may want to build a family with her and have babies.......
