Dreams
When we sleep we do much more than just "rest our weary bones"; we tap into our subconscious mind (Ullman and Zimmerman 1979). The subconscious has much to offer about oneself. The average human being spends one third of their life in sleep and during each sleep approximently two hours is spent dreaming (Ullman and Zimmerman 1979). These dreams are important because they are the voice of our subconscious. Dreams and theories on dreams go as far back as 2000 BC in Egypt. One of the first organized glimpses into the diagnostics of a dream came in an Egyptian book called

The imagery in dreams comes from daily life (Freud 1900). You must understand that the subconscious can only talk in a language that the conscious can understand, therefore it uses imagery. So to put it in lay terms "You'll never see an object in dream that you haven't seen in your daily life" (Ullman and Zimmerman 1979). This statement raises an interesting question. "What do blind people who never see anything dream about?" The answer to this question is even more puzzling. The subconscious speaks to blind people using all other sensory modalities such as hearing, taste, touch, and smell. Instead of seeing things blind people will hear or smell things in their dreams. Helen Keller talked of "seeing" in her dreams much as she saw when she was awake (let it be stated that Helen Keller was blind). The subconscious is usually the right side of the brain or the opposite side of persons writing hand. Within the subconscious lie different types of things such as suppressed emotions, creativity, and basic human instinct (Ullman and Zimmerman 1979. The conscious part of the mind works when
Anthony Eaton’s a new Kind of Dreaming helps the reader to recognise the various challenges and conflicts that cause the characters to change and grow. Anthony Eaton best expresses Jamie as an outsider that is trying to find his place in the world, while uncovering the secrets of Port Barren’s shady past. This changes Jamie from an adolescent delinquent to a responsible and admirable person. Jaime develops friendships that lead him to trusting and sympathetic qualities that are unusual for him in his past of crime. Jamie faces a challenge to build a stronger relationship with Cameron, but this is an obstacle for Cameron as he tries to understand Jamie and
There is a history of dreaming that dates back to the BC era when the Egyptians believed in the three bodies, which include
Nowadays a lot of people rely on therapy to solve personal problems. The kind of problems that a person can’t work out by him/herself. No matter what kind of a problem a person may have there is always help available through therapy to resolve those problems. There are over fifteen types of therapies out there that I know of. Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Family Systems Therapy … are the kind of therapies out there, just to name a few. Although I am not in any need of any kind of therapy, but if I had to choose what kind of a therapy I would want to attend, I would choose Dream Analysis.
I decided to research interpretations of dreams because of a nightmare my friend recently told me about. Tamara told me about a creepy dream that involved demons. Tamara had a dream that a black figure in a black cape was sitting on her stomach while she was sleeping. The black figure told her that it was going to throw her into the raging fire in front of her bed. When Tamara woke up hysterically crying, her stomach felt extremely hot. After she told me about her dream, I looked up what her dream could possibly mean about her life. There was a plethora of general information on the web about dream interpretations, so I decided to simplify this topic for my research paper. This is how I came up with the idea to research the different interpretations of dreams based on
The notion of this paper is to bring dream theory within the framework of cognitive psychology, by preserving the suggestion that dreams are the personification and extension of our waking thoughts. According to the Webster Dictionary, the definition of a dream is a series of thoughts, images, or emotions occurring during sleep. Dreams are a vehicle by which the psychological process of cognition is altered into a form that can be perceived by the dreamer. Although images are the only means by which ideas find practical expression in dreams, other methods such as conversations, numerals, movements, and representations are employed in waking life, for making an individual’s thoughts known. Dreams contrast from the vast media of waking life,
There are many goals that I plan on achieving that some may call extreme or even crazy. I will be graduating from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biomedical Sciences, as well as, a minor in Public Health. I know, not very exciting. However, while I am working on completing my B.S. degree, I will be getting married and taking the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). To make it even more challenging, my goal for the MCAT is to get in the top 5% nationally with a score of at least 516. I plan on dedicating a lot of my time towards preparing for the MCAT, while still balancing the leadership positions I have and everything else on my plate.
“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
Dreams are a series of reflections, appearances, and sensations developed in a person's mind during sleep. It can also be a cherished aspiration or ambition. A dream is a wish that comes from the bottom of your heart that motivates you to do the unthinkable.
“Dreams aren’t always perfect,” the woman on stage said, looking away from my script and at the crowd, the light from the spotlights reflecting in my eyes and on my face. “After all, don’t all nightmares start out as dreams?”
Dreams are funny things sometimes, what you dream in the night, can be triggered by something that was said to you that day, someone you were thinking about or talked to, or even something something you saw. I’m not quite sure what triggered me to have this dream, but I remember that the scenery was magnificent. As with all dreams, I began in the middle of it, so I didn’t know where I was or where I was going. I was being driven somewhere, and there was nobody else to be seen. I was in some kind of vehicle that was pretty high off the ground, so it was probably an SUV or van. The seats in the car were leather, and very comfortable to sit in, but I think that the car was brand spanking new because every time I moved, there would be this horrid squeaking sound that the seat would make. These leather seats were black, and as I looked around I noticed the entire interior of the car was completely black, and looking at it was like I was staring into the centre of a black hole. If not for the window, and my unique white and green outfit, I would have thought I was in a dark black room or some similar dark place. My interesting outfit, included, white converse shoes, white under armour socks, white and emerald green shorts that were in a checkered pattern, and a white and mint green vertically striped t-shirt. As I looked at my outfit, I thought that I must have been abducted by Leprechauns, and once they abducted me, they say I was wearing all white, so they took two different
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.
I am from the Universe, with all it’s sparkling stars, the beauty it holds is close, yet so far away.
Currently, it is estimated that there are between 11.5 and 12 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, some of which are really committed to this country, but many workers aren’t given the chance to show their loyalty to the country. Getting into the U.S. brings many new challenges to the immigrants, language being one of the most important and basic ones since most of the immigrants who come to the U.S. illegally couldn’t afford a good education, thus they never learned English. With this same issue, immigrants face challenges getting into jobs besides they have a very basic education that cannot lead them into a more demanding and better paying job. Yet, in 2003 the labor of undocumented workers gave $7 billion in
In the early twentieth century, film maker and producer Adolph Zukor met Jesse Lasky, owner of Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company. The two men admired each others previous work and, in 1916, decided to combine forces. They created Paramount pictures and had one of the most familiar slogans in the film industry, “If it’s a Paramount Picture it’s the Best Show in Town”. Proving their slogan true they started turning out more than two pictures per week. During it’s peak in the silent film making era, Paramount was making 5 million dollars a year more than other production companies such as Warner, Fox, and Universal.(Paramount)
Monday, march 18th,8:15 am. I woke up this morning to the usual sounds of the blue birds chirping and the ray of the warm sun shine through the window onto my face. And the same old view of New York City. I walked out of my bedroom and went to say goodbye to my husband Michael downstairs by the door before he leaves for work. “Kimberly don’t forget to wake up poppy ’’he said. “Okay love you’’i said. He shuts the door furiously as he leaves for work . I have a 3 year-old daughter named Penelope but we call her poppy for short like the flower. I gave birth to her just after my mother died and my mother 's favorite flower was a poppy. Since Poppy has never met her grandma we decided that her nickname would be Poppy so she will always
