睡觉的时候不要用手压迫胸,会做噩梦。

This was interesting sentence. I had never heard of this before and wanted to know if this was actually a thing. So I paused my anki reviews and dived into a rabbit hole of articles about where this came from and there is some science behind it. Which lead to reading about pressure points on the body and then some folk stories. All very fascinating. It happens a lot when I read something on our cards or stories and then end up in a google black hole of learning more about the culture. I love how language learning is about so much more than just speaking :)
