SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH

Have you ever wondered what dreams you might have in the period leading to death? No? Just me? New research suggests that people often experience vivid, symbolic dreams and visions in the days before death. A study published in Death Studies, based on reports from 239 hospice workers in Italy, found common patterns in end-of-life dreams. Many patients reported being reunited with deceased loved ones, such as a husband saying, “I’m waiting for you,” or dreaming of peaceful journeys like climbing toward a bright door or seeing a white horse along the shoreline. Others described transitional imagery like tunnels, staircases, and intense light. While some visions were comforting, a few were disturbing, reflecting fear or emotional conflict. The researchers say that patients often hesitate to disclose their dreams due to fear of ridicule, judgment, or being perceived as confused.

JOKE OF THE DAY

SCOOP OF THE DAY

Should you brush your teeth before…or after drinking coffee? If coffee is part of your morning routine, dentists say timing matters. Brushing your teeth before drinking coffee helps remove plaque and can reduce staining. Brushing immediately after isn’t a good idea, because coffee’s acidity temporarily softens enamel, making it easier to damage. If possible, wait about 30 minutes after drinking coffee before brushing. Coffee can also stain teeth and contribute to cavities, so try to drink it in one sitting, limit sugar, and rinse with water afterward.

Amid a tough job market, NYC dog food company Spot & Tango is offering some dream gigs for dog people: “dog breath sniffer” and “dog kisser,” each paying up to $1,000 an hour. The roles involve visiting dog parks, smelling dogs’ breath, accepting kisses, and rating each pup’s “aroma” or affection. The listing reads: “We need someone brave, bold, and nosy (literally) to get up close and personal with NYC’s finest canines.” The employee will be expected to “maintain highly detailed scent notes (e.g., ‘Hint of tuna? Eau de garbage? Delightfully neutral?’)” No experience is required – just a strong nose and love of dogs. Perks include merch and (of course) doggie cuddles. The idea behind the unusual jobs is to test the company’s dental chews, which are designed to improve canine breath and overall health – turning slobber into serious science.

WEIRD NEWS

A forest in Wales is being grown using fertilizer made from…urine collected at major events like the music fest Boomtown, Bristol Pride, and the London Marathon. Around 4,500 native trees will be planted, starting with a Scots pine in Brecon Beacons National Park. Bristol-based startup NPK Recovery processes the urine on-site, using a natural, bacteria-driven system, turning it into safe, odorless fertilizer. The eco-friendly method reduces waste, cuts chemical use, and has proven just as effective as synthetic fertilizers, offering a sustainable boost for farming and reforestation.
