Short Story : ' The Dream '

Having a dream and living with passion is very important because I believe living without passion is like being dead. Someone like Tony Hawk could agree. Tony Hawk has been a professional skateboarder for over 24 years. However, he did not receive that title overnight; Tony got his first skateboard when he was only 9 years old. Since then, Tony worked extremely hard and put a lot of his focus on skateboarding. He did it because that was his Dream. Tony’s Dream was frowned upon by many of his teachers and adults alike. One of his teachers even told him that he “would never make it in the workplace if he didn’t follow directions exactly” (Hawk), but he never gave up his Dream. He kept working hard and eventually became a pro at the young age of 15.

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

I have to say, keeping a dream journal has been the toughest and most frustrating assignment that I have ever experienced. From what dreams I did manage to remember I would say that dreams, my dreams, are normally on the verge of a nightmare. I had the most impossible time remembering my dreams over these past ten weeks, which is clear in my very few journal entries. Trying to remember my dreams led me to an internet “goose chase”, to say the least. Most of the tips that I read were: keep a pad of paper by my bed, allow myself to remember my dream, lay in bed shortly after waking and to not wake with an alarm. As a mother of three I have no choice but to wake by an alarm. Regardless, something that I read really made me want to remember my dreams; on article stated that those that remember their dreams are more in control of and in tune with their waking world.

I say that the American dream is different and have obstacles to concurred because of racism in the country. I think that the American dream will always have problems because parents have there kids growing up teaching them to be racist. Another reason is because people will look at black people a different way towards getting jobs and accomplishing something just because of the way they came up or was raised they will always look at black people different. The final reason why I say this is because they still have police that are racist and other people who are white that see you with some money and will always take it in a negative way like if you work for it and you not an athlete or rapper they would think you sell drugs or do something else. The American dream is hard on stuff because of racism and always has been since before everything happened with slavery even on other races like Chinese, Hispanic, mexican, and Arabian people, they make like the people are meant to do certain jobs just based off their race.

Everywhere I looked, I saw people applauding. The bright stage lights beamed on my face and I could hardly see the gigantic audience. When I heard my name, my heart began racing as if I had just jumped off of the world’s largest tower. I pushed myself up as quickly as I could and began strolling towards the announcer. I felt the cold winds rustle through the makeup on the pores of my tan, soft skin, making me simmer down. I smelt the freshness of the plastic, silver trophy that was delicately placed in my rounded, sweaty hand. My heart was still darting beneath my skin as I walked back to my spot with the award, tightly in my arms. I could taste victory.

This part of the text was confusing and significant. The mother referred to Jonas's feeling of wanting in the dream as the Stirrings. The actual definition of the Stirrings is a bit confusing; there is no direct explanation of them in the Stirrings in the text. Perhaps it is the feeling of desiring someone the way Jonas had wanted Fiona, sexual desire, that every adolescent feels once they come of age. Conceivably, the Elders deemed that treatment for the Stirrings is mandatory so that it would be easier to regulate the community. If there are no emotional outbursts, it would be more likely that the majority of the citizens will obey the laws, ensuring that no crimes take place. In our societies, many problems such as heartbreak, betrayal,

Since I was little my dreams have always been very vivid. I could always wake up change what I wanted to dream about, go back to sleep and have the dream I thought up. People like my Mom, Dad, and boyfriend are in my dreams the most of the time.In the past year my dreams have changed to be more dark and I can't always change them. Most of the time these dreams end up with me being all alone somewhere, and I can't seem to find anyone. I have had that one dream I will never forget about two years ago, it still haunts me today. Yet, 99% of the time my dreams are bright and happy.

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

Dreamcatcher sat on a sandy beach, absentmindedly watching the black waves wash onto shore and return to the endless sea beyond him. As usual, the moon was completely covered by dark ashes that came out of the looming volcano in the distance. The air smelled strongly of salt water that the wind blew from the sea. He sighed melancholically. This was the beach of his childhood.

It is very good to have dreams but dreams usually are not tangible. Instead, goals have a good chance to

Did you ever have a feeling when something is so hard to believe that it feels like it’s all just a dream? I have experienced this before, and let me tell you, that this is not the best feeling in the whole world. Well, this is my story.
