I looked up the average cost of living in Alabama. It says it is 54k for a family. Do you think that is realistic? The reason why I ask is that US incomes always confuse me. Incomes seem quite high and I understand that taxes are much lower than here (Finland). As an uninformed outsider with these costs of living 100k for a couple seems quite nice and a gross income 130k appears absolutely rich. Am I missing something? IlJust very curious always as some of the income programmers with my experience get in the US seem absolutely unachievable here.

You know how a loud sound or a flash of light can alter your dream ... For example you hear your alarm clock and all of a sudden you are dreaming you are in an ambulance?

My theory is that we are always in a "dream" state. Stimuli that manage to reach our conscious attention will alter this dream.

When a asleep only very strong stimuli will reach us so for the most part our "dream" is in a feedback loop mostly doing its own thing. When awake though we have a much more weaker filter for stimuli . The direction that our "dream" takes is fully controlled by it.
