With looking at split-brain syndrome i was unable to find any thing that deals with the military on this. With all the brain damage going on in the military ranging from PTSD to brain tramia there is not much with that syndrome. With my other discipline history "The "split brain" was first discovered in the laboratory by Roger Sperry and Ronald Meyers in the late 1950's . Initially they began experimenting with cats, and later proceeded to study monkeys. In 1961 the first human patient was subject to the split brain surgery.
The procedure worked well as a "cure" for patients who suffered from severe epilepsy and did not respond to anti-epileptic drugs. It was soon discovered that patients who had a commissurotomy had some interesting difficulties. Patients were not able to communicate information from one hemisphere to the other, almost as though they now had two separate brains." http://www.macalester.edu/academics/psychology/whathap/ubnrp/split_brain/pioneers.html

After reading this i found it very interesting that our right side of our brain controls our left side of our body and vice versa.

from what i found we dont know why we dream but that something happens to our brains when we get into rem sleep. for some reason when we get there our brains go crazy with activity. with my two emphases first one being military. in the military dreams are mostly bad soldiers will relive being in battle and waking up in a cold sweat. this is not good. i know veterans that are still haunted from what they went threw over 40 years ago.  and with history it was seen as signs from our soals that only a priest could tell us that they meant.  with history people thought that dreams could mean something like if they dreamed of money they were going to get rich.

For me the main reason I read a lot of fiction is to get away from everything. For me a story needs to have conflict and be entertaining. For others they don’t want that in their stories they want it where nothing bad happens.   One article that spoke the most to me was called “Soldier spends time telling military stories” by Billington Jeff. In his story he talks about a Sgt. 1st Class Bryan Beach and that his family was the center of him joining the military. For soldiers not only are there lives tied to the military but so are their families and every one close to them.  He goes into talking about where he has been and some of the things he had to do. One of the hardest things he has had to do was wright letters home to fallen soldiers family’s telling them that their loved one has fallen.  With these types of story there is always conflict ranging from what to do in an fire fight, to do I want to go on leave and leave my soldiers or not go and see my family. These are things that soldiers live with every day and some of it might make great stories while others may not it’s just up to the reader to decided.  This story relates to both of my emphases by talking about the military and day to day and the history part by showing what this soldier used to do years ago.
