Before she tries to talk to him, she wakes up and finds herself in the bed.

Kim shares her problem with her roommate Janet. In order to unchain from the dream, one day Kim and Janet plan to set out to Janet's parent's farm in the country for a few days. While they are driving along the countryside road, Kim sees the same house of her dream. She finds everything similar to her dream except a FOR SALE signboard. Fearfully, she knocks at the door and the same man of her dream opens it. In the conversation, Kim is informed that the house is haunted by a ghost most nights. When Kim inquires about the ghost, the old man says "Its you".

SUPERNATURAL EXPLANATION OF THE STORY:

There are two common explanation of the story. First, when Kim dreams, she sends her thoughts to the old man. This means when Kim is dreaming, the old man thinks he is seeing a ghost.

Physics: Simple Harmonic Motion - SHM

Simple Harmonic Motion(SHM) What is Periodic motion? The motion which repeats itself after equal intervals of time is called periodic motion . For example: the motion of planets and satellites, vibration of springs, motion of pendulum, motion of different hands in watch etc. What is Simple Harmonic Motion? The periodic motion in which particle moves to and fro (back and forth) such that the acceleration of the particle is directly proportional to the displacement from mean position and directed towards the mean position is called simple harmonic motion. i.e. for SHM, a ∝ y ( where y is the displacement from mean position) or, a = −ky ..........................(i) (Where, k is proportionality constant. Negative sign shows that the acceleration opposes the displacement from mean position.) SHM in terms of uniform circular motion(Characteristics of SHM): Equation of SHM: Consider a particle moving in a circular orbit having centre at O and radius r with uniform angular velocity ω. Let P...

Exploring Doppler's Effect: How Sound Waves Change Frequency

Exploring Doppler's Effect: How Sound Waves Change Frequency Table of Contents What is Doppler’s Effect? A. Source in motion and observer at rest: a. Source moving towards the observer: b. Source moving away from the observer: B. Observer in motion and source at rest: a. Observer moving towards the source: b. Observer moving away from the source: C. Source and observer both are in motion: a. Source and observer approaching each other: b. Source and observer receding each other: c. Source leading the observer: d. Observer leading the source: Doppler’s Effect summarization Doppler’s red shift: Limitations of Doppler’s effect: What is Doppler’s Effect? When there is a relative motion between the source of a sound and observer, the frequency or pitch of the sound received by the observer is different than the actual frequency or pitch. This phenomenon is called Doppler’s effect. The apparent change in pitch or the frequency of sound due to relative motion between source of sound and ob...

The Heritage of Words - The Lamentation of the Old Pensioner - Summary - Grade XII

 The poem "The Lamentation of the Old Pensioner" was composed by an Irish poet and dramatist W.B. Yeats. The speaker of the poem "The Lamentation of the Old Pensioner" is a retired old man who expresses his feeling of sadness and disappointment of having the beauty and youth robbed by the tyranny of time. This poem also contrasts the old and present age of the poet. The poet has felt that time is omnipotent and nobody can resist it. Everyone has to go through various stages of life. Old people are not a burden, rather they are the sources of experience, knowledge, and guidance. The speaker implies that we shouldn't regret as we grow old but celebrate old age. The speaker is sitting under a broken tree while taking shelter under a broken tree. He feels that he is like that broken tree. When the tree was young and beautiful, everybody came and sat under it, but now when it is broken, it's felt alone. In the first stanza, the speaker compares his energetic and ...
