The Dream Center was started in Birmingham in 2008 by the Church of the Highlands. The mission is “to reach people with the love of Christ by meeting both physical and spiritual needs.” The ministry serves children, teenagers and adults. They bought two buildings in Woodlawn, and remodeled them. They partner with neighborhood organizations throughout the city of Birmingham. The volunteer staff of the Dream Center is working with ten schools in the city. They work with children as young as four years old, and also provide showers, snacks and prayer for needy adults in their Dream Center Café. They can serve more than 30,000 patients annually through the Christ Health Center also.

Requiem for a Dream details the lives of four individuals and how they each deal with their problems by attempting to escape reality. The four main characters depicted in the movie are Harry, Marion, Tyrone, and Sara. Harry is the main protagonist, and the film shows his progression into isolation as he sacrifices his relationships with his mother (Sara) and his girlfriend (Marion) due to his addiction and delusions. Each of the characters has their own individual struggles in their lives, but the film is interesting because they all attempt to escape into a world of their own delusions by using substances. The movie shows the audience a wide range of addiction and dependence through drug use, but it is not solely the use of drugs that fuels the character’s behavior. Use of legal and illicit substances is broadly shown within the film, and that is what stands out the most when viewing the film. However, the characters also have other ways of escaping their reality that sends them further down the path of destruction.

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?

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.

Everyone in the world has had at least one dream in their lifetime. Most people do not think much about the dreams that they have, unless they are recurring. Dreaming is “a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during REM sleep.” Most people today wake up from a dream or nightmare saying, “thank god that was a dream,” or “too bad that was just a dream.” Many times these dreams or nightmares have more meaning than we may think. If people took more time to consider the meaning behind the dreams they have, then dream interpretation could be used as a means to help resolve issues in our awaken lives, including helping to

What Dreams May Come is a movie about life, loss, death, afterlife and rebirth. The film explores the emotions evoked by a variety of characters when they are faced with coping with tragedy and death. It also delves into the manifestations of heaven and the variety of forms heaven takes in the minds of different people.

During the speech, King compared a promissory note to the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. His intent on addressing this was to explain that the words in these documents were meant to belong to every American citizen. King uses the metaphor “check” to describe that the country owes equality to African Americans. But the “check that King is talking about is a bad one. He says African Americans were given a check that did not work and was basically useless for them. Usually in banks when given a bad check they return it saying “insufficient funds”. King’s main purpose of using all these metaphors was to compares a bank to justice. King sums it up by describing this bank

At one point in most of our lives we will experience some form of nostalgia, since we will eventually want to harken back to the days of old. Nostalgia and melodrama go hand in hand, since examining the past can bring in melodramatic moments or memories. Sometimes when life gets hard we look back to our younger days and wish life could be as simple as it was back than. A film full of melodrama and nostalgia comes from the late 1980’s classic Field of Dreams (1989). The film has many different examples of melodrama in the form of nostalgia but the two biggest examples come in the form of childhood family problems and the beauty of old small town America.

The movie What Dreams May Come gives a rather positive view on the afterlife. I think most of the ideas and views shown in the film are related to many of society's main beliefs pertaining to death and the afterlife, but the views are left broad enough so they can relate to any specific religion. Personally, I have no concrete belief concerning the afterlife, or whether or not if there even is life after death, but I can see why many people would agree with many of the films perspectives. The movie is shown through Robin Williams's character, Chris Nielson who's first personal encounter with death is when his two children, Marie and Ian both die in a car accident. Four years later he dies himself after being hit

Why do we dream? I see dreaming as benefiting humans by helping our conscious and subconscious minds shake hands and come to an agreement, so to speak. Our brains operate on conscious, subconscious and unconscious levels, and I believe there is a strong link between our subconscious minds and our dreams. Perhaps the information we store in our subconscious minds during waking hours manifest into these hallucinatory pictures while we sleep. The part of our brain which operates on a conscious level is significantly diminished when we are asleep, which gives the subconscious part of our brain more energy to process what it’s learned or stored.

To begin this paper first we need to have the understanding of what dreams are and why they are important to us. A dream is a story, a series of ideas, emotions and sensations that occur while we are sleeping. Freud’s “Psychological analysis of the content of dreams” says that every dream has a storyline and meaning behind it. Therefore the reason why dreams are important is because we need to express in some way our desires and wish fulfillments that are forbidden for our conscious mind. The movie Inception is related to the concept of dreams that were studied during the “Consciousness” chapter, but more particularly in lucid dreaming, which led in seeing a world where someone could implant an idea in someone else’s mind by entering their dream.

At some point, someone has said that high school will be the best four years of their lives and college gets even better. So with that idea in people’s heads, they come up with their ideal image of the college. They start planning the perfect scenario of what college they will go to and what their roommate will be like. They often try to compare an unrealistic image and turn it into a realistic image, but they are unlike in many ways. Once students step onto the college campus, they will soon face what it is actually like to be in college.When people understand that college is not the perfect movie scene, then they will take advantage of expanding and furthering their education seriously. Going to college is a whole different experience and there is a lot more to it such as the rigorous classes and overwhelming school work, being more independent, and forming new bonds with others.
