5．There exist cruel wars，fighting and sadness in the world today，so it's not only necessary，but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us go through difficult times in our lives．Putting a smile on someone's face when you know they are feeling depressed，as the saying goes，makes me feel good and warms my heart．How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife，husband，child，co-worker，neighbor，close friend，or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store？I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh，even if I don't know the person I'm joking around with．My Grandma always found humor in everything she did，even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine．This not only relieves stress in any situation，but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you．
I know of a few people that don't have a funny bone in their bodies，as they say．Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their faces．They don't get the joke that makes others laugh．I am，busting a gut while they just sit there，looking at me as if I were from outer space．How can people not get a really funny joke？
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control．Without humor，we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems，or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy．There is too much sadness in this present world．It drives people crazy．We all need to find a way to avoid the sadness and bring a little light into our lives．
Therefore，I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together．

Falling
You're falling，falling，falling…and then you wake up．This dream is said to mean you are afraid of something or worried about something．There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it．Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something．Maybe you're not doing well in school or work．
Taking an exam（or forgetting that you have one）
You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment．You might be running here and there to find your classroom．Experts say this dream may mean you're being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge．
Flying
Dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things．You are in control of the things that matter to you．It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you．
Trying to run，but going nowhere
You're trying to run，but either of your legs won't move or you simply aren't going anywhere．Some experts think this dream means you're trying to do too many things at once and can't catch up or move forward．
