Analysis of Dream Images from Makrokosmos by George Crumb

Both Freud and Jung provided important and interesting theories on dreams; encompassing their functions, their roots, and their meanings. Freud looked at dreams as a result of repressed memories, particularly repressed sexual memories from our childhood. Jung however, believed that dreams delved beyond sexual repression during younger years, to other problems, be it trauma, anxiety etc. Jung also believed dreams changed predominately through middle adult years, while Freud believed the opposite. There is little empirical evidence to reinforce either Freud or Jung’s theories, however, their contributions to the study of dreams in psychology cannot be lessened or denied.

Psychodynamic therapists find that free association is helpful in treating their clients because it allows them to say whatever comes to mind. The client is encouraged to talk about anything and everything seeing as it may help them accept any kind of limitations or discord they may have. This process of treatment would not be the best route for Antwone’s therapist to take. Antwone struggles in creating conversation out of nothing and when it comes to talking about his issues, that process is no different.

the person who is responsive to the stimuli of art behaves toward the reality of dream much the way the philosopher behaves toward the reality of existence; he observes exactly and enjoys his observations, for it is by these images that he interprets life, by these processes that he rehearses it. (Nietzsche 440)

Navigating the menus, she selected her favorite playlist, and reclined in her bed as she put her earbuds in. She let the melodic tones of "In Bloom" by Nirvana wash over her thoughts. She lay there for an indefinite time, almost meditative, in the way she was relaxed: detached, but not quite asleep. She could almost sense the soft moon above her, the merry stars, and the quiet night, gentle

The reading begins with two researchers Aserinsky and Dement, researching into why humans need sleep. Then, it begins to talk about another two researchers, Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley. They both came up with a new theory about dreaming, which was “ in essence, was that dreams are nothing more than your attempt to interpret random electrical impulses produced automatically in your brain during REM sleep.” (Hock 2013). Basically what they were saying is that while we sleep, a part of our brain produces electrical charges in the brain stem. While we sleep most other parts of the brain are inactive, but the brain stem isn’t. Hobson and

Dreams are something that occur within our mind as we sleep. They play a crucial role in the mood we carry out through the day or the thoughts that we may have, but have you ever stopped to think about how much dreams truly affect you? As of now, our theories of dreams are very different than the first two theories. Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist, had a theory that "centered around the notion of repressed longing, the idea that dreaming allows us to sort through unresolved, repressed wishing." Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychotherapist who had a theory that “dreams were a way of communicating and acquainting yourself with the unconscious.” There are many different theories that describe dreams on all sides of the spectrum. They include wish fulfillment, encoding short-term memories into long-term storage, garbage collection, and solidifying what we've learned. Other theories take more imaginative routes of explanation including that of the

All my life, for as long as I can remember, dreams have perpetually found their way into becoming the focus of conversations between my relatives. Dreams hold a significant meaning in our culture and often given spiritual value. I have experienced the interpretation of dreams to begin as a relational piece on the main subject of a conversation. For instance, at some time during a talk with each other, the topic of the conversation will spontaneously transform into the focus creating irrelevance to the original point of conversation, until the dreamer finishes recounting the dream. Likewise, the dreamer may begin a conversation by making comparisons to details of a casual conversation and speak about a dream he/she had either the night before,

Dreams come in all shapes and forms. Every dream experience falls into one of the following categories: Prophetic Dreams, Release Dreams, Wish Dreams, Informative and Problem solving dreams, and Astral Visits. So many people take dreams for granted or think they do not mean anything, but they do. Dreams are incredible when you learn what they are, mean and why we dream at all.

It all started about 58 years ago, when people started to see “little blue men” appear on the streets, and then it disappear in a blink of an eye. There was something abnormal about this thing. Some used to say it was 2-10 feet tall, and that it could run faster than any human. It “looked like a spaceman from a science-fiction movie” and it glowed a fluorescent

In a letter that Ta-Nehisi Coates once wrote to his son he said “It is so easy to look away, to live with the fruits of our history and to ignore the great evil done in all of our names. But you and I have never truly had that luxury” (Coates). In his letter, Mr. Coates warns his son to never loose the internal battle between indifference and what is right. This is a constant struggle society faces around the world, and often loses. The battle against indifference has been a losing battle in the past and even more recently throughout the world and as society loses to indifference it gains guilt as if guilt were war debt. The guilt of society is growing at an exponential rate, where countries around the world would rather stick their heads

I think that this is being repeated because the author wants to put emphasis on how the sea kind looked and how it just came in and completely engulfed them. I also think that this is being repeated because it shows that Ruslan's dreams are coming true and he’s telling it like how he remembers it. This sea just rushed in and picked up so much junk that now, it’s jumble of a whole bunch of different things that create this black sea. I think that if Ruslan wasn’t having his dreams constantly about the sea, the sea wouldn’t have been such a big deal and it wouldn’t be described in those exact words. I think that this statement changed Ruslan because it shows the fear that was built upon the wave and how he knew that this sea would change his

The best part of a long, hard-working day is when you finally get to lay in your bed, close your eyes and let your imagination run free. As you sleep your mind takes you to another place far away from the real world. You begin to dream. Over the night, you may have several dreams. In the morning, you may wake up and wonder what your dreams were suppose to mean for you and your life. By analyzing your dream, it "gives a true picture of the 'subjective state'-how we really feel about ourselves-which the conscious mind cannot or will not give" (Wietz 289). In order to find the meaning of a dream, you have to pick out the most important symbols and define them. But you may be wondering what exactly is a symbol?

The exploration of the mind and the way our conscious mind perceives the symbols of our subconscious minds was new ground and it gave art a new voice with which to sing.

Thesis Statement: Dreams are successions of images, emotions, and sensations that occur subconsciously during sleep.

My career goals as a professional video game developer who owns a game studio are something that I have dreamed about for as long as I can remember. While I have had some bumps in the road of my career choices (what high school kid hasn't?), the only thing that I have consistent passion, commitment, and devotion for are video games. I got my first video game when I was five on the Gameboy Advance, and ever since then, I have been permanently addicted. While my taste for games has changed, my intense craving for them has not subsided, and in fact, it has only grown. As I got older over the years I began to learn more about how they work, who made them, and what processes are used to publish them. I even did a project on them in 8th grade about the history of video games and its effects on modern culture. Now, as an adult, I wish to take my adoration for video games to the next level: and that is where The Art Institute of California (Player 2) joins the game.
