Every human is proud of his/her physical or mental domination over all other creatures. But do we know all the facts about other organisms to make the statement. Actually human are somewhat special but not to the extend we think we are. I suppose we have to reconsider our very perception that only humans can think or memorize or sleep etc. If you think that only humans had the ability to reflect on their own thoughts, technically which is called 'meta-cognition". Well, think again. A Psychological study done at University of Georgia reflects that rats also have this ability. They think; they express but it reflected that they know what they don't know. Likewise if you think that only humans can sleep, think again!!! Not just dogs but flies do also sleep, just like we do and more importantly, it's the expression of the same genes during sleep and awake hours; just as in the case of humans. Astonished….!!!

Once I was in my dreams playing counter strike not as a user on a computer but actually as a player as if a real encounter was going on. I was able to sense each and every moment of the play: from the tiredness of running to the fear of enemy. When I was about to die, I realized that this cannot be a reality and so I must control my dream and thus I clicked the shutdown button so as to wake up from nightmare. This was not the first time I controlled my dream but was so lucid that I created a virtual screen, clicked start and then shut down to come off my dream. Many a times it happens that what we ought to do for e.g. taking up medicine; we do
