Dreaming is Believing! (Ashley Booker) Have you ever woken up from a nightmare sweating, crying, or even screaming? Maybe you have, but maybe you haven’t. The fact of the matter is everyone around the world has a common thing alike, dreaming. Perhaps it may be a dream that scares you to death like a nightmare, or maybe a dream that you swear is déjà vu because you’ve seen it happen before, or maybe you are experiencing a normal dream. The fact is there are many types of dreams, and many ways that people can interpret the dreams that we experience. Eighty percent of people according to a survey actually experience more than one dream a night, and these dreams can vary differently or all be related to the same concept. “Six percent of people only recall dreaming one night a week” (Som). So don’t be afraid if you are part of that six percent because you aren’t the only one out there experiencing this. An interesting fact about dreams is “an estimate for the amount of time we dream per day is about two hours. This means that if one were to live to 67 years, they would have dreamed about 49.000 hours” (ThinkQuest). Since we dream so much of our lives, many people believe that dreams let you know what the future holds for us, this type of dream is called precognitive. People who believe they have precognitive dreams actually amount to around thirty eight percent in this country and seventy percent of people have experienced déjà vu. This certain type of dream is perceived as having symbolic meaning, and are usually vivid, and repeat themselves repeatedly in one variation or another. So many people around the world are interested in the meaning of their dreams that they go to doctors, or even to psychics to get information of what their dream is really telling them. Some cultures believe that people who have precognitive dreams are actually good luck, and are a blessing from God. Chudler, Eric. //Dreams:Physiollogy.// __ThinkQuest__.

Another legend has to to with a witch. Now, in the book Ultima is good and has an owl. In this story, the witch also has an owl, but she is bad. The Mayans associated animals with people. Some of the animals that they compared people to were, the owl, the eagle, the crocidile, the turtle, the oclet and others. The Aztecs veiwed the owl as an animal that had to do with death. It is interesting that the owl is used for good in __Bless, Me Ultima__, while other legends show the owl as bad. In the book, the golden carp is another god. In Mexico, the aztecs and the myans both had multiple gods.

** Mexican Involvement in World War II ** (Cecilia Ramsey) There were many countries involved in World War II, and one of those unsung heroes is Mexico. When World War II began, Mexico was decisively neutral. That changed though with the election of Manuel Avila Comacho and the bombing of Pearl Harbor was the breaking point. After that, the country severed all ties with the Axis powers and somewhere around a thousand men joined the United States army. Both countries benefited from this economically and Mexico started its war time production. Mexico didn't actually join the war though until 1942 when Germany began to attack its shores. Only the 201st squadron of the Mexican Air Force, also known as the Aztec Easles, saw battle. This happened in the Phillipines, and only one pilot was lost.

Besides creating many economical and social break throughs, the war also had a few negative effects. With economical advancement came people with power who eventually misused their power and so there was a lot of political corruption. Also, all the money generated by the new U.S. factories was not evenly spread among the people so prices were inflated. Even though these effects are unpleasant, and they are still being corrected today, Mexico's involvement in World War II was a large step in the country's coming of age.

Continuation Of Mexico in World War II(Cory Goeman)
The war really started for Mexico when Germany started bombing it's oil ships in the Gulf. Even through many of the American countries went to war against the Axis, Mexico and Brazil were the only Latin America nations that sent troops overseas to fight. The most famous fighting unit in the Mexican military was //Escuadrón 201// or better known as the Aztec Eagles which consisted of more then 300 hundred volunteers and they were the first Mexican military unit to be trained for overseas combat.

New Mexico also was the site of a unique aspect of the war. Because New Mexico's rugged terrain prevented people from populating large areas, the U.S. government determined that it would be a good location to conduct nuclear research. In 1943, the town of Los Alamos was created by the government to support a nuclear research laboratory. On July 16, 1945, the first atomic bomb was tested near Alamogordo at the Trinity Site.
