My Dream Essay

Throughout history, numerous people have studied the human body and its many functions. One area of the body that causes much confusion and controversy is the mind. Many parts of the brain baffle scientists, but a specific aspect of the mind that is fascinating and puzzling is dreams and their functions. It is surprising that an average person dreams for at least six years of their life, but scientists still do not know the role of dreaming (Shaw). Several theories have been presented to provide a reason for dreaming, and attempt to explain what most do not understand. Although dream research has been prominent lately, no agreement has been reached on which theory is correct on the purpose of dreams. Some believe that dreams are only

This emphasizes the idea of Jung’s persona and the fact that it is a compromise between an individual and the society in which one wants

“Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. The best has yet to come”- Zig Ziglar. Life is different for everyone, no one is raised the same no matter what we think. No one has the perfect life, with the perfect parents, the big, beautiful, house with the white picket fence in the front yard. Instead in life if we’re lucky we’ll get one of those things, but most people get none. Inside our head we have our life planned out, our career, the number of kids we want, the person we want to marry. But as we grow up and acknowledge the world around, we realize life doesn't go as planned. That you don’t marry the person you want, have the number of kids you want, and your life isn’t the same as you planned it to be.

Jung’s standard way of thinking of how an individual is able to choose what impression and image that they desire to impose to the outside world, which is the “persona” and when we encounter a feeling we don’t feel comfortable expressing to the world we and to shelter it deep down, which is the “shadow.” The “persona” of the ship is the physical exterior image of what the ship looks like as well as what the ship

In this case, Jung clarified persona as how a person presents themselves to the world. Grendel’s persona restricts only to that of a scary, threatening beast. At the sight of Grendel, the neighboring villagers immediately take up arms and cower within their meadhall. When in the presence of these villagers, the humanoid beast becomes a self-absorbed fiend who devours anyone with a mind that stands against him. One might argue that

How would you feel if someone promised you something, but then changed their mind? If you were told you were safe, but the rug was pulled out from under you? Over a half million teenagers and young adults who illegally immigrated to the United States as minors were recently confronted with this reality. DACA, an act passed during Obama’s term that protected them from deportation, was rescinded by the Trump administration on September 5, 2017. After these people, known as Dreamers, had begun to come out of hiding to legally obtain jobs, attend college, and live without fear of deportation, this rescission suddenly suspended their dreams. Now their future is in the hands of Congress. Although many people would like to eject this group, statistics are in favor of their continuing residence. The Dreamers comprise a diverse and valuable group that deserves to stay in the United States. They are not a threat to the United States, nor a financial burden.

One day I felt a weird feeling that it was a little bit hotter in my air conditioned room where it was supposed to be a little bit colder. So I stretched and saw something really off, I was on a Tree above my house! I thought i was dreaming for a second so I tried looking around the tree and found I was in a bird 's nest and i felt very small. Then I looked at my arms, legs, and the rest of my very unusually small shape. I found out after a few seconds I was a bird, then I thought this was definitely a dream! When I looked at my self I knew I was a Blue Jay, which I have seen before in scouting with my troop when I was little, and human of course.

I went to Texas last month to visit friends and family. My friend and I had a conversation about her friend who got divorced around ten years ago. She was planning to get married to a man who she knew for couple of years. I saw their wedding pictures in a Facebook last week. The only thing I knew was they got married, but I had this dream 3 days ago where the guy was torturing his wife. The reason for him torturing his wife was his family as his family was against the wedding. In the dream, I was with his wife trying to save her from him, and I did save her

A famous example of a Jungian archetype is the structure of the father and mother. Carl Jung later assumed through his work that

The speech “I Have a Dream” was delivered by Martin Luther King on the occasion of the centenary celebrations of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation on 28th August 1963. The speech was dramatically delivered on the steps of Lincoln Memorial and it was witnessed by about two million people. This speech is often considered to be one of the greatest and notable speeches in history and the top American speech of the 20th century.

Most of us have at one time or another experienced a dream, be it a nightmare or a pleasant walk in a forest. Either way, it was always believed that dreams encompass a coded message that might be expressing our hidden wishes, things that happened in the past or even predict the future. In the past, there have been many attempts to unravel the secret hidden behind the dreams and so far the world came up with three main theories of interpreting the dreams (Freudian, Jungian and Cognitive)(Wade, Travis 1998). In this essay I will attempt to analyze my dream by using each of the theories mentioned above, then compare the outcomes as well as their possible connections to my life and in the end determine, which one of these theories is the most

Jung’s beliefs were that there are common elements of human experiences called archetypes. The archetypes are self, the regulating center of the psyche; shadow, opposite of the ego; anima/animus, male and female principles that represent the true self; and persona, how we present to the world (Changing Minds.Org, 2011). He called the psychological make-up of a person the psyche and believed that specific characterizations change over time and across cultures. Jungian therapy stresses the patient's study and acceptance of the archetypes within himself. Only when the first three archetypes are fully integrated can the self begin to be explored and

For Jung, the ego is the conscious mind that is responsible for feelings of identity and continuity. Through ego, people establish a stable way to perceive themselves. There are two kinds of unconscious, the personal unconscious, and the collective unconscious. Personal unconscious includes our repressed or forgotten experiences, perceptions and thoughts that are easily retrieved. Before Nina perceives Lily as a rival for Swan Queen, the audiences only see the innocent side of Nina. We can find that her mother still coddles her like a child, but a bird cannot learn to fly if its parents never let it out of the nest. Nina is frigid and afraid of imperfection. She cries in her pink bedroom after being criticized by the director. However, the competition stimulates her hidden wilderness to surface up. She does not want to be the fragile girl anymore; she tries to seduce the director to strive for the leading role; She even kills Lily in her imagination when she thought Lily wants to replace her role. Trying to feel the wild spirit of Black Swan, she forgets perfectionism and “ loses herself.” I think “lose herself” is a kind of “freeing herself, freeing her inner wildness, freeing her sensual beauty, freeing her independent mind from her extended childhood. Personal unconscious is unique for each individual, but the collective unconscious is shared in a certain group.

It’s a hot August day in Washington D.C. A crowd of hundreds of thousands of people are gathered, stretching from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument. “I have a dream,” a voice thundered over the crowd. “Tell us about your dream Martin,” a women’s voice replied. “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.’ (King, I have a dream) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, spoke these now well-known words at a peaceful rally, demanding an end to segregation and discrimination and calling for voting
