As a general rule we spend time on continuous verbs. For instance, "I like to spend time improving my English". We can also devote time to things, commit time to things, set aside time for things, and earmark time for things.

I hope you don't spend your time like this!

There is an old theory that eating cheese before bed causes bad dreams, although scientists don't have much evidence to prove it.

But if cheese can't make us dream, new research from the US says that perhaps an app could — and they don't have to be bad dreams!

Researchers experimented with an app that they designed to encourage people to have lucid dreams. These are dreams that feel vivid and real.

During lucid dreams, people know that they're dreaming and may even be able to control what happens in the dream.

Not everyone has lucid dreams. It's thought that about half of us will have them during our lives, but some people may have them regularly.

Lucid dreams may be useful for us: experts think they could encourage creativity and problem-solving, or help us with nightmares.

The app in the study used a method called "targeted lucidity reactivation" that is supposed to make people more likely to experience lucid dreams.

This is usually done in a laboratory, but the researchers wanted to see how effective an app used at home could be.

They did two experiments to see if the app could increase the frequency of participants' lucid dreams.

The first experiment included 19 participants. Before going to sleep, they did a 20-minute activity that encouraged them to enter a "lucid mindset" when they heard certain sounds.

These same sounds were then played during the night. The frequency of the participants' lucid dreams more than doubled during the week of the experiment.

Fifty people completed the second experiment. They were put into three groups, with one group using the targeted lucidity reactivation method.

The people in this group reported that they had experienced more lucid dreams during the week of the experiment than those in the two control groups.

The researchers said these results suggest that apps like this could help people to use sleep for "personal benefits" including "spiritual and personal growth."

App Could Help People to Have Lucid Dreams

EL PALACIO NACIONAL DE MÉXICO.

Construido sobre las ruinas de las Nuevas Casas de Moctezuma Xocoyotzin, Palacio Nacional ha sido la sede del poder y de la soberanía del pueblo mexicano desde el siglo XVI. Dentro de sus muros han habitado y trabajado grandes personajes de la historia nacional, desde virreyes, emperadores y presidentes, como el famoso conde de Revillagigedo, Agustín de Iturbide, Benito Juárez y Porfirio Díaz, hasta importantes figuras de la literatura universal, como Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Este recinto no solamente ha sido el corazón, sino también fiel testigo y partícipe del devenir de nuestro país.

Hoy en día, este inigualable recinto alberga al poder ejecutivo y a la Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público, y, al mismo tiempo, abre sus puertas al público para conocer los murales de Diego Rivera, sus impresionantes jardines, dos museos, escalinatas decimonónicas, fondos históricos y un extraordinario patio central en el que se llevan a cabo algunas de las ceremonias cívicas de mayor relevancia.   

Incluso desde la era previa a la llegada de los españoles, se tienen noticias de zonas que estaban destinadas a resguardar y exhibir todo tipo de especies animales y vegetales dentro del perímetro de lo que hoy es Palacio Nacional. Si bien, estos espacios fueron destruidos durante la Conquista, la importancia y el deseo de poseer un jardín dentro del recinto político más relevante de México no se perdieron de vista. En el presente, es posible visitar la nueva versión de los Jardines de Palacio, en donde se conservan diversas especies vegetales, tanto nacionales como internacionales, entre los cuales se destacan el maguey, agave azul, nopales, cazahuate, árbol de las manitas e imponentes ahuehuetes.
