SAMPLE
DREAM:
A ten year-old boy dream dreams:
“I'm
crawling through a large tube
and I come out stupid at the other end”
Explanation:
( short version - $20.00):
Stop watching TV so much you boob (stupid person)! It won't make
you any smarter.
Explanation:
(Long version - $50.00):
This
boy has been watching “the boob tube (television)” too
much, and is reduced to the level of his lower instincts ( on all
fours and low to the ground). When he comes out at the other end,
i.e. when he's finished watching TV, he is stupider than when he
started.
With the onset of automation and assembly line repetitive work,
it was actually known that this work would, over a longer period,
make you stupid. Similarly when you're glued to a TV screen, or
any screen really, there are certain things that aren't happening
in the brain that harm you in the long run.

Does your child to have a TV in his/her room ? The authors of the recently
acclaimed book about the psychology of boys called: Raising Cain, Kindlon
and Thompson, recommend not allowing your child to have TV in their own
bedroom, and speak against excessive screen time. There are no experts
on children who recommend it.
The harm done by violent video games is another whole issue that is important
to note here as well. These were originally developed by the U.S. Army
to desensitize their soldiers and acculturate them to killing other human
beings (against which there seems to be a natural hesitation- surprise,
surprise!). They succeeded – and now these games are being taught
to our children.
There is also a behavior component to the watching of excessive TV in
general and violent video games in particular. Studies have actually correlated
high screen time use with lower academic achievement which comes as no
surprise to teachers. A recent survey of elementary teachers in an inner
city school showed that teachers could actually recognize those children
who took music lessons from those who played lots of video games/ had
unlimited TV time – the latter evidently for their poor behavior
and delayed social skills development.
