SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
In case you’ve ever wondered if dreams have an impact on real-life, the short answer, for some, is yes. A new survey found that a quarter of adults say a dream or nightmare has led them to make a major life change. Researchers found that 25% of respondents had taken actions such as ending a relationship or quitting a job because of a dream. The survey (taken in the US) also found that 67% believe dreams and nightmares carry deeper meaning, while 37% say they have experienced a dream that later came true in some form. Respondents report an average of 1.4 nightmares per month, with Gen Z experiencing the most bad dreams — and baby boomers the fewest. Experts say dreams can have a powerful impact because the brain processes them as real experiences while we sleep.

There’s one role that Joan Cusack thinks is her “most important.” In an interview with ABC, the actress explained why she believes playing ‘Jessie’ in “Toy Story” has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Quote: “It’s been the most important thing I’ve done in my whole life.” Cusack stepped back from Hollywood after “Toy Story 4” to focus on family life in Chicago, but returned to the role in Toy Story 5, which was released on Friday.
Kevin Hart believes his ex-assistant Miesha Shakes should cough up a 5-figure sum for violating a confidentiality agreement, in which he says she agreed not to spill dirt about him. According to court docs, Hart is asking a judge to order Shakes to pay $50K in agreed-upon damages for breaching a non-disclosure agreement she signed. She worked for Hart from 2017 to 2020, and afterward, did an interview with blogger Tasha K, in which he says she spilled info about his personal life, defamed him, and caused harm to his career.
Disney and Pixar are unwrapping a major box office gift with “Toy Story 5”, which, according to estimates, was headed toward the biggest domestic opening of the year so far, in the $160 million range. That’s after the film notched the second biggest opening day of all time for an animated feature, with $71 million, just behind “The Incredibles 2‘s” $72.2 million in 2018. On Rotten Tomatoes, audiences gave Toy Story 5 a franchise record 95% score, while critics mostly agreed, giving it 94%. Steven Spielberg’s original sci-fi feature “Disclosure Day” made about $17 million in its second weekend.

OF THE DAY
Guinness says the world’s oldest known land animal is a giant tortoise named Jonathan, who is at least 194 years old…and may be even older. Living on the South Atlantic island of St. Helena, Jonathan arrived there in 1882, already fully grown. His birth year is estimated to be 1832 at the latest. Despite losing his eyesight and sense of smell, he still enjoys eating, basking in the sun, and even mating. Recently, Guinness World Records named Jonathan an official Icon, recognizing record-holders whose achievements have inspired people around the world. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/yc7r2vbj
A futuristic new invention from China could change the meaning of “going to the toilet.” Unveiled at a healthcare and accessibility expo in Shanghai, the “Xiaoban” is an AI-powered robotic toilet designed for people with mobility challenges. Using advanced sensors and obstacle-avoidance technology, the self-driving toilet can travel to wherever it’s needed in the home. After use, it returns to a docking station connected to household plumbing, where waste is automatically flushed away. The unit then cleans and sanitizes itself using pressurized water and UV light. Equipped with odor-control filters, the high-tech toilet sells for about $13,000 and offers a glimpse into the future of assistive technology.

WEIRD NEWS
There are tons of ways to become famous: acting in movies, launching a big tech company, or even singing a nonsensical song that includes the word “Gangnam” in its title. But New Zealand soccer player Tim Payne found fame in a much stranger way: by being named the least-famous player at the World Cup. After an Argentine influencer announced that he wanted to find a player that people could root for, regardless of nationality, he opted for Payne, and bestowed him the title of “least-known World Cup player”. The internet took notice, and in just a few days, his Instagram following exploded from fewer than 5,000 people to more than 3.5 million. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/5329apae
