In biblical times, fateful decisions were made according to dreams, the dream is actually an expression of one's inner aspirations. The dream integrates the innermost parts of the personality with overt conduct. Nowadays, we do not take our dreams into consideration directly, but sometimes they can reflect to us where our emotional world is – what is your dream?
Here is some good advice: before going to bed, turn off the cell phone, study a religious text for five minutes (I learn "Mesilat Yesharim" [Path of the Upright by Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto]), do some soul-searching with yourself for another two minutes, and then, as a last thing before going to bed, say the Bedtime Shema – and you will find that your dreams will be clearer and better. Even if the day had been the most challenging and hurtful in your life, and even if a more challenging and hurtful day awaits you tomorrow – the dream will heal you.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
