We measure our lives in months and years. The wood mouse’s life is measured in hours
and days. This tiny mammal, a member of the rodent family, has a childhood lasting only for
three weeks.
Survival is a difficult task for such a small creature. The wood mouse ventures out
mainly at night, using its whiskers to feel its way through the darkness. It has good sight
and hearing, and an excellent sense of smell. However, the wood mouse is relatively
defenseless, and many fall prey to owls, hawks, crows, foxes, and other predators.
The mouse’s main survival strategy is to breed at speed. A single mother may have
several litters of babies, totally 25 to 30 offspring in a year. With so many babies, the
chances are that only one or two will survive.
The wood mouse has many similarities to its close cousin, the house mouse. For both,
life starts in a cozy nest. The new babies are pink and furless. Their eyes are closed, and
there is no sign of the typically large mouse ears. They depend completely on their mother.
She suckles them with her milk, licks them clean, removes their droppings, and keeps the
nest clean. If they wriggle too far, she picks them up in her mouth and returns them
to the nest.
How long does it take a wood mouse to grow into maturity?
Less than one week
Less than one month
More than one month
More than one year

Psychologists have long known that people can solve their problems at work and
home by “sleeping on it.” Dr. Deirdre Barrett advises individuals to ponder questions just
before falling asleep (Should I take this job? Should I marry that guy?) and then let the
subconscious provide the answers. “I’ve known artists looking for inspiration who simply
dream up a future show of their art and wake up with plenty of new painting ideas,” says
Barrett. “More and more people are learning these techniques to control their dreams.”
Dr. Stephen LaBerge, for example, has pioneered a way of directing the sleeping mind
through “lucid dreaming,” in which a sleeping person realizes he or she is dreaming while
it is happening. In “lucid dreaming,” your dreams are like private movies where you are the
star, director, and writer all at once. Lucid dreamers can use the experience for a variety of
purposes: problem solving, developing creative ideas, and healing. A person may use lucid
dreaming for everything from talking to his/her long-dead father to gorging on sweets.
Moreover, a weak swimmer in the waking life may dream of diving to the bottom of the
dream ocean without worrying about breathing (or his/her swimming skills). Most
importantly, lucid dreaming is free and available to everybody.
Why does Dr. Barrett suggest people ponder questions before falling asleep?
To remember the questions clearly when waking up
To come up with creative ideas from dreams
To solve the problems before falling asleep
To give the subconscious a good rest
