Dreaming, although a substantial component of our nighttime lives, remains somewhat of an enigma due to the fact that it occurs while we are unconscious. The inaccessibility of the unconscious mind weakens full analysis and comprehension of dreaming which researchers have been attempting to accomplish. However, over the years many researchers have elucidated many mysteries about dreams, such as when we dream, why we dream, and what we dream about, in order to bring forth an understanding of dreams as well as identify

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.

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

“By this Revelation, then, the invisible God, from the fullness of his love, addresses men as his friends, and moves among them, in order to invite and receive them into his own company.”1 Divine Revelation is not the work of man but rather a gift that God gives to us freely. Without it, we cannot come into the personal relationship that God desires us to have with Himself. It is His thirst for us to know Him that gave birth to Divine Revelation. Our response to it should be that of people thirsting for the satisfaction that we can only find in God. He decided to reveal Himself through the Scriptures and through the Church and so in order to know Him, we must dive deeply into the richness of

Everyone can say they have fallen into a deep sleep and have had a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occur in their mind. We often times combine elements to stimulate emotions in a more advanced way. Many can say they have awoken in terror, or never wanted the thought to end. But can you recognize reality from fantasy? There is much to wonder in the world of sleep and daydreaming.  Neural bustle in the primary sensory areas of the neocortex (a part of the cerebral cortex concerned with sight and hearing in mammals, regarded as the most recently evolved part of the cortex.) create the premonition of a sensory perception: the production of a dream. The elaborate detail and imagery make it strenuous to identify what is reality. For in

The Book of Revelation is the last profound book in the New Testament. It conveys the significant purpose of Christianity by describing God’s plan for the world and his final judgment of the people by reinforcing the importance of faith and the concept of Christianity as a whole. Accordingly, this book is the written record—not of wild dreams—but the dramatic God-sent visions given to one of God’s servants, John the Apostle. This book was written by John in 95 or 96 A.D. at the reign of the Roman Emperor, Domitian, and is the revelation of Jesus Christ illustrating the events that occur before and during the second coming of Christ. By using complex symbolism and apocalyptic metaphor, the meaning of Revelation is defined: what is, what

I have always been interested in learning and interpreting dreams every since I was in high school. Out of everything I learned about dreams over the years, the one that really resonated with me the most was that dreaming is our way of dealing with problems from our waking state. For that reason, I chose an article called Relation of Dreams To Waking Concerns by Rosalind Cartwright, Mehmet Y. Agargun, Jennifer Kirkby, and Julie Kabat Friedman. It captured my interest because it goes into depth about how your waking concerns effects your dreaming state. It also goes into detail about Slow Wave Sleep (SWS) and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and what they have to do with dreaming.

In comparison to many of the initially accepted books of the Biblical canon, John’s book of Revelation was written decades later, around 96 CE, and was forced to address the failure of the kingdom’s arrival. Many earlier Biblical books argued that God’s kingdom was imminent and would arrive swiftly, but the passing of time may have led to a gradual decrease in this sense of urgency and, by extension of this, religious faith in Jesus and his teachings. In response to this, John’s contemporaries faced him with a unique challenge to renew their eschatological beliefs and answer the mystery behind the delayed coming of the kingdom of God. Within the book of Revelation, John encourages his readers to strengthen their belief in the urgency behind

In the book Introduction to Psychology by Plotnick, and Kouyoumdjian, there were many topics I read about that were interesting, but module 7 was the one that cute my attention. The module is about dreams. According to the definition in the book dreaming is a unique state of consciousness in which we are asleep, but experience a variety of astonishing visual, auditory and tactile images, often connected in strange ways and often in color. People blind from birth has only auditory or tactile dreams. Sleep and dreams play important roles in human life. Sleep is divided into two major categories called non-Rem and REM. According we spend 80percent of our sleep time. Sleep consists of five different stages. I will be discussing three of the stages.

To begin with, Hobson and McCarley (1977) discussed dreaming as a mental experience acompanied by vividly hallucinoid imagery and occurs when the brain is activated during REM sleep. During this cycle, the brain starts to differentiate original blocks of information, stored memories and ultimately fuses them,

Dreams are mental activity that happens during the REM

Throughout the centuries, the scientific advances allowed people to come up with many conclusions about biology and the human body. However, there is a major aspect of the neurological and psychological fields that is still not fully understood. The unknown phenomenon that will be discussed in this book are dreams. The importance of dreams is viewed differently in different cultures, and the universal interpretation and purpose of dreams still has yet to be discovered.

​(Revelation 1:1-3) “The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.”
