What Is Dream Interpreting?

After careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that my dream patterns most directly correlate with Cartwright’s theory. Cartwright’s theory is based off of a problem solving view. This theory claims that dreams are somewhat of a place to problem solve without our active (awake) mind getting in the way. The research on this theory has been supported and claims that dreams are self-centered and based off something called residual dreaming, which means that the dreams are recollections of what we have been thinking about lately. Another of the three commonly known theories associates dreams with the fulfillment of secret desires or wishes. This is called Freud’s theory and it is based mostly around sexual and aggressive desires which can potentially be so

1. Your body goes through 4 stages of sleep. REM (rapid eye movement) is the 4th stage and when you do most of your dreaming. “While you are dreaming, your body undergoes noticeable changes.  Your adrenaline rises, your blood pressure increases, and you heart beats faster. Given this hyperactivity, it should be no surprise how someone with a weak heart can die in their sleep (dreammoods.com).” It usually takes 30-90 minutes to reach REM, a person goes in and out of REM 4-7 times a night. During REM your eyes rapidly move back and forth under the eyelids. Our bodies are completely immobile and muscles are relaxed. You may shift around in your sleep but when in REM you are completely still.

The humankind throughout history has tried to learn and figure out the meaning of dreaming. The interpretations and true meanings of dreams has expanded and has varied over centuries and cultures. Many of the earlier studies were based on culture’s and the interpretation of dreams, but also used as a form of prophecy, inspiration, and guidance. Many people still believe this such, people today beliefs and theories have opened up to a more vast interpretation, they are made up of; dreams are rare brain activity, dreams allow people to reflect on themselves, or that dreams are too massive to be correctly interpret. Although, not a single theory has been proven to this day, science as of why dreams occur is still a mystery.

III. (Credibility Statement)I have done a lot of research on the topic of Dream Interpretation and find that it varies from person to person. Some believe that a dream

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.

Both Freud and Jung provided important and interesting theories on dreams; encompassing their functions, their roots, and their meanings. Freud looked at dreams as a result of repressed memories, particularly repressed sexual memories from our childhood. Jung however, believed that dreams delved beyond sexual repression during younger years, to other problems, be it trauma, anxiety etc. Jung also believed dreams changed predominately through middle adult years, while Freud believed the opposite. There is little empirical evidence to reinforce either Freud or Jung’s theories, however, their contributions to the study of dreams in psychology cannot be lessened or denied.

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

Dreams come in all shapes and forms. Every dream experience falls into one of the following categories: Prophetic Dreams, Release Dreams, Wish Dreams, Informative and Problem solving dreams, and Astral Visits. So many people take dreams for granted or think they do not mean anything, but they do. Dreams are incredible when you learn what they are, mean and why we dream at all.

Your dream sounds very stressful. A hate when I dream about work and then have to wake up and go to work. To me it makes me feel like I didn't get any rest.

My philosophy about dreams more closely lines up with the Evolutionary Theorists. I believe that all dreams have some kind of meaning that applies to our waking life. The Evolutionary Theorists say that we are trying to solve problems in our dreams and I think that certain appearances of symbols have meaning about a situation and possible ways to solve

I love how you explained the theories. I agree that latent best explains our dreams because of the way it can connect to our lives. If someone is really depressed about something, I feel that they will be more likely to have a sad dream than a happy one. So latent connects with the way I feel dreams are formed.

I read and listened to Martin, Luther, King jr. I have a Dream speech, yet when I heard the speech it had a greater impact on me. When I hear a speech I can hear the speaker's tone that gives off this emotion that allows me to understand what he is trying say and prove, and it can help show how serious the speaker is. While when I read a speech, it feels as if I'm reading a book that's filled with facts and opinions, and sometimes I may understand something differently than what the speaker

Many people think they will find an immediate answer to their dream symbol in a dream dictionary; however, is it truly accurate? Not really! Their meanings are too general as I blogged about in “Are Dream Dictionaries’ Interpretations Right or Wrong?” Still people think they can find the true meaning of their dreams in a dictionary, which you can compare to reading your horoscope online – these are for the general public, not the individual. To get a clear picture of how to start to comprehend your personal symbol, please watch the short video below.

Baptist preacher and racial inequality movement leader, Martin Luther King Jr., in his speech, I Have a Dream (August 28, 1963) argues that black citizens should get the same rights as white citizens. He supports his claim by first stating that this problem has been confronted before, but the African americans are still not being treated the way they should, then by saying that they have gathered there to make the promises of the democracy real, then by saying that people ask “when will you be satisfied?”, then by stating that one day in the future the nation will rise up and all people will be treated the same, and finally he states that when freedom for them does come, then they would allow freedom

I mentioned in another reply: Everyone is special, so there are no recipes to decode everyone’s dreams. The persistent component of dream analysis is that everybody will have opposing thoughts about the same details. Whether therapist or the general population; if you write up your latest dream and hand it to three people and request their point of view, it's conceivable that you will get three vastly diverse interpretations. You could invest days going through "dream lexicon"
