Q: Dreams can sometimes be very close to real life. Therefore, it can be difficult to realize you are dreaming. Develop ways to recognize a dream from reality. Time is one way to differentiate a dream from reality. Time is notoriously inconsistent in dreams. For example, a clock may say it's 8 AM and then moments later claim it's 2 PM. If you're unsure whether or not you're dreaming, try looking at a clock. Reading in dreams is often difficult. Many people cannot read in dreams. People who can read in dreams often report the text is gibberish, word salad, or hieroglyphics. Trying to read a book or magazine can help you recognize that you are dreaming. As many people want to influence dreams as a way to come to terms with a problem, it's important that you remember your dreams. Do not jump out of bed, as removing yourself from REM sleep can cause you to forget your dreams. Try to stay in bed for a while and remember your dreams. Start out by trying to recall the emotions that accompanied your dreams. This can help trigger your remembering other details. A dream journal is another way to help remember your dreams. Record your dreams in as much detail as possible after you get out of bed. Having a dream journal can help you revisit your dreams later to interpret their possible meaning.
A: Develop ways to check that you are dreaming. Stay in bed for a moment when you wake up. Consider keeping a dream journal.

Article: There are many to choose from, but OxiClean is probably the most easily recognized. The specific product you buy is your preference, but you should look for a powdered formula that contains sodium percarbonate and sodium carbonate. Other fillers will reduce the efficacy of the product. Some other recommended brands are Biokleen's Oxygen Bleach Plus, Oxo-Brite (which is supposed to be earth-friendly), and Vaska's Oxygen Brightener. You need a container than can fit the piece you need to clean, plus enough water for the piece to soak in. For small items, a sink or bucket works well. For something large like sheets or a comforter, you might need to find a clean trash can or large plastic tub. For large items that are only stained in one particular area, you could place it so only the affected area is soaking in the container. Although it is sometimes recommended that you use cold water to avoid setting the stain, oxygen bleach requires hot water to work. For most items, you'll want enough water to fully submerge the piece in the water. You want to follow the product use instructions because different products have different concentration levels. Following the label closely will ensure you use the right amount. Also, stir the bleach around to help it dissolve. The water should be cloudy and slightly grainy. The length of time needed depends on the type of stain and how bad it is. You may only need to leave the piece soaking for 30 minutes or so. For best results, let the item soak for about 5-6 hours, as this is the length of time the oxygen bleach will stay active. Check the piece of fabric every hour to see how well the stain is fading. Occasionally stir the clothing around and try to mix up any oxygen bleach that has settled at the bottom. You can also add more hot water as it cools. After the item has soaked and the stain seems to be mostly gone, wash the item as you regularly would. You can also add a little more oxygen bleach to the wash cycle to give it an extra boost. Always check the stain again before drying the item, as drying can set the stain worse if it is not yet removed. If the stain remains after the soak and wash, either repeat the process or try another stain removal method.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Purchase an oxygen bleach product. Find the right size container. Fill the container with hot water. Add oxygen bleach as directed by product label. Soak the fabric. Wash the item.

Q: Start with a scenario that is funny and entertaining. Think about a funny situation in your own life. Often, a funny scenario will have a minor conflict, interesting characters, and a punchline, or major funny moment. Read news stories and talk to friends to find a humorous scenario For example, you may come up with a funny scenario based on your parent's divorce and then remarriage several years later. Or you may fictionalize a relationship gone bad in your own life and make it funny. Another way you can come up with an idea for a comedy is to build a character that is funny and witty. Use people in your life that you find funny as models for the character. Take an existing fictional character and put a humorous spin on them. The character can then be the protagonist in the comedy and add humor to every scene. For example, you may create a character based on your mother, using humorous things she has said to you in the past as the character's dialogue. Or you may take a serious historical person like Virginia Woolf and add humorous details like a funny voice to create a character. Think about ideas in comedy you have seen or read before. Then, try to put your own spin on these ideas. Turn a familiar idea into an original one using your creativity. For example, you may take the familiar idea of an awkward first dinner with the parents and have the couple dress in matching outfits to make it a bit silly. Immerse yourself in the world of comedy by reading lots of good examples of the genre, from novels to plays to short stories. You can also flip through comedy screenplays for ideas and inspiration. Some good examples include: The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris Bossypants by Tina Fey
