Dream Analysis: Dreaming Of Your Husband?

With the assassination of President William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, not quite 43, became the 26th and youngest President in the Nation's history (1901-1909). He brought new excitement and power to the office, vigorously leading Congress and the American public toward progressive reforms and a strong foreign policy.

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

Have you been puzzled by your dreams lately? You certainly aren’t alone, as millions of people around the world strive to learn what their nighttime adventures are trying to tell them.

As a lead in to psychoanalysis, as part of my journal I kept a daily dream log for a week (Appendix A, p. i). Although enjoyable, I did find myself questioning the validity and lack of scientific support. There seems to be too much room for different interpretations or misinterpretations. This

Dreams and their possible interpretation are not a subject which was first studied by Freud. In fact, dream interpretation had been popular in many cultures since ancient times. Among Huron Indians during the 17th century in southern Ontario dream interpretation was commonly practiced. “Both the Hurons and their relatives, the Iroquois Indians of New York State, treated many maladies by interpreting dreams which were considered subcon- scious expressions of desires. The Indians believed that a desire, when unfulfilled, caused illness or misfortune.”

Dreams are a powerful thing that have the ability to reveal what is troubling someone.

Dreams, one of the many dimensions in our mind, gives a lot of different information then we are use to having in the day. The subconscious mind that takes control when we sleep, takes care of our passive memories and holds the key to our lives. Dreams are what lead us to this key which unlocks the door to another type of wisdom. The farther we get

The mystery of dreams have fascinated people for years. Do they have significant meaning? Do they predict the future? Is our subconscious mind trying to warn us about our waking state of mental health and awareness? There are an abundance of websites and books that help interpret significant bits and pieces of dreams that we remember. Using a few of these websites I’ll interpret a few of my own dreams and what significance they may have had at the time that they occurred and how each one can be used as a coach for future challenges.

This story needs to be told. A heart-wrenching tale of teaching and loss that, while over a long period of time, makes no difference to how much it will touch any reader’s heart. I, Kelly M. Hoffman, have taken the honored words of the soon-to-be Doctor Grant to tell this fateful story and make it known to the world, but especially to Mrs. Kelly’s third hour American Literature class. (Mostly) in the words of Dave Grant, here is the story of the ages:

Thesis Statement: Dream interpretation is important because it allows us to see the exactly what a dream is, to find significance in our dreams, and to face our subconscious problems.

The turn of the century was marked by a movement known as the Progressive Era, during which many groups sought to reshape the nation's government and society in response to the pressure of urbanization and industrialization. Progressives were mainly members of the Post-Civil War generation that made an attempt to master a world much different then that of their parents.

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.

When meeting with these two psychologist he is often found at their office and they are sitting across from one another. They are found talking about these dreams and what they represent and finding ways to decipher what is real from what is fake. Such as one psychologist would say things such as “Your dreams are a representation of things you have found hard to let go, so they manifest themselves in your reality”. The other psychologist would guide him by reflecting a lot on what he said saying things such as okay you wear this green band but you say you wear this other red band someday, could it be that you wear this one band only when you are present in your dreams” or “if you were dreaming

Dreams are “hallucinations of the sleeping mind” (Loftus & Ketcham). Dreams can be very vivid, loud, and even emotional. This is why it is easy to confuse them with reality. Dreams are kind of like taking all of a person’s wishes and emotions and putting them all in a little “shadow world” (Bynum) when they go to sleep at night. “What is common in all these dreams is obvious. They completely satisfy wishes excited during the day which remain unrealized. They are simply and undisguisedly realizations of wishes.” (Freud). A person may be experiencing an emotion or wishing for something without even realizing it at all. Dreams can sometimes show a person how they are truly feeling without even their own awareness of these feelings or wishes. A lot of a person’s reality and emotions are used in their dreams, however, this is not always the case. Dreams can also be extremely bizarre, confusing, and even repetitive. This is where the interpretation of dreams comes into action. Many people find it hard to believe that when they have a dream over and over again that it does not mean anything. These types of dreams are called recurring dreams. Recurring dreams happen

This for me was the most difficult aspect of dream work. I found this stage of the process to be stressful and demanding. At first my mind locked up and I could not think of anything. I think my problem was I tried too hard to offer meanings that would resonate with the dreamer. Once I relaxed and let the meanings flow without judgement the process became easier.
