Upon the box of poptarts read a small but prevalent line of text at the front: "good source of vitamins and minerals!" A simple tactic to distract careless buyers from daring to read the nutrition facts on the back and find the dark secrets buried just below the surface...

A psychological technique that can increase dream recall rates over time, useful for healing from depression or trauma. Dream priming involves saying to yourself out loud before you go to sleep something along the lines of "If I have an epiphany during my dreams, I will wake up before my mind forgets the dream so I can ponder it more thoroughly."
To escape the confines of your mind, you must first listen to your heart. The mind may need to relearn this ability in typical cases of post-traumatic depression, which is where dreams come in significantly handy. While dreaming, the mind is truly able to wander free without being stifled by conscious thought. However, dreams are naturally forgotten in the course of natural awakening from sleep. Dreams are only remembered upon awakening when one awakens before their dreams can be naturally discarded from memory. As such, one must make an intentional effort to recall their dreams in order to make the best use of them. Dream priming is an excellent way to accomplish this, though it does take a certain degree of practice to master such a skill.
The most basic way to prime your subconscious for this dream recording process is to give yourself verbal instructions before going to sleep. "To escape the confines of my mind, I must first listen to my heart. If my dreams present a worthy path for me to take, or an epiphany worth contemplating further, I will awaken before my mind can discard the memory." Any variation of such a phrase can suffice as long as it is relatively cogent and spoken out loud to maximize mental retention rates.

A common type of money-laundering scam that makes use of guilt-tripping and vague appeals to one's sense of compassion in order to accrue massive amounts of monetary 'donations'. Unlike other scams, charity is very effective in urbanized environments such as Europe and the USA due to the massive amount of political padding around humanitarian efforts, making it very difficult to launch investigations into suspected money laundering operations under such themes.
I'm sick and tired of seeing all these in-your-face charity funds up online. I'd sooner donate my bank account credentials to a random African prince than help some random eastern-European dude buy cocaine or some shit.
