Everyone has a dream in life for themselves to accomplish. The Dream is a biblical archetype which is a goal or mission of great importance to a hero in a story. In most literature, there is usually one specific dream a character chooses to focus on and accomplish.

In the movie Challengers, Tashi is an amazing tennis player with a dream of going into a professional league.

Dreaming is yet another state of consciousness. A dream is simply an unfolding episode of mental images that involve characters and events. Dreams usually tend to occur during REM sleep but can occur during NREM sleep as well. We dream on a variety of topics, subjects, and individuals. No dream can be exactly interpreted or defined, therefore people have always been fascinated with what, why, and how we dream. An unpleasant and almost terrifying type of dream is a nightmare.

Although many people are unaware of how dreams actually work there are two psychologists that have been able to pinpoint the true meaning of dreams. These two men are Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. There are many different perceptions on how people dream, what dreams mean, and why people dream.

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?

What are dreams? According to google dreams, are basically stories and images our mind creates while we sleep.When I have dreams I usually don't remember them. When I do remember my dreams they are either a bad dream or a pretty random dream. Dreams seem very confusing to me. You go to bed to only enter a world of whatever your mind has made up that night. It's weird how your mind can make up something to scare you to the point that you wake up screaming.

However, the true exact meaning of dreaming hasn 't been proven, there has been new ideas, different methods to advances to both a psychological, science understanding of when it began and how it functions. What some of the studies have concluded is that dreams are a certain phase of the brain 's activities, that the mind experiences while you are sleep; sounds, pictures, ideas, and feelings. Both psychologists and scientist have theorized that dreaming is made up of the person’s mind, that ranges from being rare, normal, scary, and ordinary.

To many people, dreams are the thoughts that occur while sleeping, having almost mystic qualities. For millennia the significance of dreams has escaped even the brightest of philosophers and intellectuals. Many people have speculated about why people dream and what meanings the dreams have but in recent times two theories have gained credibility in answering those questions. The first theory is Sigmund Freuds and the other is known as the cognitive theory of dreams also known as biological determinism.

Dreaming is something we’ve all experienced while sleeping. Our dreams are produced by an altered state of consciousness, in which images and fantasies become mixed with reality. We all experience dreams that range from the pleasant and the not so pleasant or nightmares. Dreaming is still largely a mystery to science, as experiments are conducted to figure out why we dream and how dreams function. We do know one thing for sure, that everyone dreams unless in the rare case they are prevented by meditation or a brain injury.

The narrow road through the quiet neighborhood is paved and devoid of cars. Walking alone, I have a sense that I am going somewhere though my destination is both unknown and seemingly irrelevant. The neighborhood, filled with houses, suggests many people must live there, but I see no evidence of anyone. Surprisingly, this doesn't bother me nor seem the slightest bit odd. Moving through the neghborhood I glance over to my right and notice a row of houses. Robotically, I leave the roadway, making my way over to an unassuming house on the corner. As in the other versions of this recurring dream, I am not entirely comfortable with what I am about to do, but I feel compelled, seemingly unable to do anything else. Neither the neighborhood nor the house is familiar to me as I approach the front door. Half hoping my entrance will be thwarted by a locked door, I reach for the doorknob rather than knocking. Grasping, I feel the cold metal under my fingers as my grip tightens. As is always the case, the doorknob gives under the pressure of my twisting hand. The door creaks as I slowly push it open before stepping inside. Looking around, I take in the room's emptiness and breathe a sigh of relief as I scan for my exit point.

Dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions and sensations that occur usually involuntary in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Some people claim that they never dream. But that isn’t truth. Everybody dreams, but some people have a better memory than others. Some can remember their dreams vividly. While others can remember partially. And others can’t remember anything.

Dreams are episodes of thoughts, feelings and visions that take place involuntarily when humans sleep. They are experienced universally and they are categorized into cognitive, sensory and emotional occurrences. In normal dreams the dreamer cannot control the images and content of their dreams however there is a type of dreaming called lucid dreaming in which dreamers have control over their dreams. However this is rare and normally needs preparation. Dreams are normally cover things that preoccupy and worry us due to the fact that they are constructed using our emotions. In this respect they can help us overcome problems and shape us as humans. Often dreams contain themes, objects and experiences which are similar to our waking

I can’t take my eyes off the roast on the table. Sitting like a pretty present on a silver platter that shines in comparison to the plain table, glistening with honey glaze surrounded by vegetables roasted with the succulent pork. Its heavenly scent wafts towards me: powerful and sweet and savory. My salivary glands ache as waves off drool fill my mouth. Without meaning to, I let out a soft whine and drool begins pooling at the corner of my mouth. I begin taking a few tentative steps towards the roast and the ‘off-limits’ table, when all of a sudden I hear it,

“It’s written all over your face!” She laughs obnoxiously. “I don’t!” I turn to the side and there is Sarah snorting like a pig, I punch her in the arm. “Hey Arabelle” I turn to see phoenix smiling. We both go dead silent and then start laughing uncontrollably, Us laughing might be the most lifting thing in this depressing hospital. “What?” He asks clueless “She lo-“ I step hard on Sarah’s foot “Ow!” She stops laughing and so do I. “What’s up Phoenix?” I say trying to be chill but it comes out with little giggles in between each letter. He looks upset now “I’m actually looking for you…” His voice trails off, why me? “Why?” “My little sis wants to hang out with you, I guess?” “Oh! Okay totally” Sarah and I make eye contact and smirk at each other then look back at Phoenix. “Just follow me ladies” and with that we walk from the bathrooms to the elevator. “How’d y’all meet?” Sarah asks trying to annoy me “Well we-“ “We ran into each other” Phoenix cuts me off “Oh really?” Sarah says pretending to be interested, but in reality she’s more interested in annoying me. We walk past one waiting room full of people coughing and sniffing, this hospital never seems to stop working. The elevators are now in view “Arabelle!” Chris gets in front of me “Why are you wondering the hospital? You should be with dad!” “Oh yeah? Where have you been for three days huh?!” The sudden tone change in my voice gets multiple people’s attention in the waiting room. “Get out of my way” I say gently

Here I am, lying down on a white cloud that gently comforts me as my thoughts of today’s plans run furiously through my head. I keep my eyes closed to make these few moments of comforting chaos my own. The feeling of being loved and cared for, the feeling of comfort and happiness slowly disseminate into my mind as the color yellow illuminates passed my eyelids. Yellow, such a warm color, such a cheerful color, such an illuminating color, and this color is a perfect description of a dream that I once had about owning a warm home and a bright wife. Not simply because it is Natia’s favorite color nor because she brings out the best qualities that I possess but we can say that she is just like a lighthouse. A lighthouse indeed, due to her constant dependency and ability to help people simply by just being there. Her thoughts and actions are always steady and trustworthy like a huge unmovable rock in which a house is built on. "A house does not rest upon the ground but upon a woman." My mother once said as she constantly reminded me to find the right companion at the right time and, here I am, with the best companion on my right side.
