¿Por qué sigues teniendo el mismo sueño?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:20:09 GMT

(CNN) — Durante años, sueños en los que mis dientes se rompían, se aflojaban o se caían asolaron mi descanso. Mis seres queridos han soñado repetidamente que vuelan, que ruedan en un vehículo autónomo, o que llegan tarde al colegio o al trabajo. No son las típicas pesadillas, que normalmente ocurren una vez. Son algunos de los sueños recurrentes más comunes, los cuales tienden a ser negativos y puede costar trabajo superarlos.“Es más probable que los sueños recurrentes se refieran a experiencias vitales muy profundas o a problemas lógicos de carácter que, en cierto modo, están garantizados que se repitan en la vida despierta porque forman parte de uno mismo y no son un acontecimiento puntual”, afirma Deirdre Barrett, investigadora de los sueños y profesora de Psicología en el Departamento de Psiquiatría de la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard.Los sueños recurrentes que tienden hacia lo negativo pueden ser estresantes.

Uncertainty next for Mavs after reserve-filled loss to Spurs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:20:09 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — Sandro Mamukelashvili scored 23 points, and the San Antonio Spurs sent Dallas into an offseason of uncertainty with a 138-117 victory over the Mavericks in a meaningless, reserve-filled finale Sunday.Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving and four other regulars were out for Dallas, which is being investigated by the NBA for similar roster decisions two days earlier against Chicago. The Mavericks still had a shot at the final Western Conference play-in spot before blowing an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter of a loss to the Bulls.The Spurs sat nine players, but they’ve been out of contention for months and were already locked in to the best draft lottery odds at 14%, along with Detroit and Houston, in the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes.The loss solidified the 10th-best lottery chances for Dallas at 4.5%, which is part of the reason the NBA opened an investigation when Doncic was pulled early and Irving and four other regulars didn’t play at all against Chicago.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz is out indefinitely after fracturing his left ankle in a collision at home plate during Sunday’s 1-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox.Cruz was attempting to score from third on a chopper by Ke’Bryan Hayes when Cruz’s leg bent awkwardly beneath him while attempting a late slide. Cruz’s leg appeared to collide with the legs of catcher Seby Zavala, who easily tagged out Cruz.The 6-foot-7 Cruz writhed in pain and the benches and bullpens briefly cleared after Pittsburgh designated hitter Carlos Santana appeared to take exception to Zavala’s behavior.There were no ejections and order was quickly restored.Zavala didn’t like how late Cruz decided to slide and mentioned it to Santana, leading to a brief escalation.“I was just talking to Santana about it,” Zavala said. “He didn’t like what I said, he said something I didn’t like. That’s what happened. I think in a couple of days everybody will forget about it.”Cruz...
