Where Do Nightmares Come From

Stephen King’s insight on dreams are all based on personal experiences. King begins by comparing the functionality of a dream to a mirror “I’ve always used dreams the way you’d use a mirror to look at something you couldn’t see head on”. By using this idea of dreams being like mirrors, King is able to alleviate his writer 's block by depicting his dreams directly onto paper. An example would be when King had already written seven to eight hundred pages of his novel which he could not seem to finish. Then later reveals how a nightmare provoked the ending, he states how he woke up frightened yet at the same time relieved he’d finished the book. According to King all he had to do at this point was to take his dream and transfer it to paper. Without a doubt, King’s personal experiences can justify why he believes “dreams are a way that people’s minds illustrate the nature of their problems. Or maybe even illustrates the answer to their problem in symbolic language”.

The evidence that supports my research question provides some basis as well as stability for my conclusions. Attempting to engage in active research for the first time, and equipped with a question that has been explored to different degrees by reputable educators, it is easy for one to be daunted by the challenge. Yet one can take heart from the wealth of information available, and be encouraged to engage in

Chapter 19 of Everyone’s An Author explains to the readers that it’s extremely important for you to do research on a topic. Research is searching for and gathering information, usually to answer a particular question or problem. Also, research begins as a kind of treasure hunt that provide you a stunning opportunity to investigate a subject that you care or wonder about. Finding a topic is one of the most important part for the process of your researching. In order to start your research effectively, you should find a topic that fascinates you, consider your rhetorical situation, and do some background research.

What surprised me about my topic was how hard it was trying to find credible information. There was a lot of information but a lot of it wasn't credible, there was also a lot of information but the data wasn't from the United States it was it foreign countries so it was no good for me. However i did find scholarly articles and other credible sources i just had to really dig to find the information. One thing that surprised me about my topic was that i didn't get more than 2 or 3 people who tried and rebuttal me. I had prepared

One would need to begin my compiling credible sources, however, one could not simply research a topic based off of others research. Therefore, the person researching the topic would need to design their own research. This would need to be done by gathering statistical data to support the topic being researched. For instance, the research question in this paper is: Are evidence-based behavioral modification programs in Delaware’s level five institutions successful at lowering the recidivism rate? First, one would have to identify the parameters that need to be researched, like how many level 5 institutions are there and which programs are behavioral modification programs. This information can be found easily on the State of Delaware Department of Corrections website. According to the website there are four level 5 institutions in the State of Delaware; Baylor Women’s Correctional Institutions, James T. Vaughn Correctional Center, Sussex Correctional Institution, and Howard R. Young Correctional Institution (“Department”, n.d.). From this site one can continue to navigate and obtain information regarding the treatment services that are provided within each institution. There are two different behavioral modification programs offered within the four institutions; the KEY program and the GREENTREE program. “KEY is the first component of Delaware’s substance

The topic I chose to inquire about for my project was poverty in America. For the project I researched many different topics to find the one that I connected with enough to write about and come up with an inquiry. I found the topic of poverty in America interesting and it was something that I could relate to in certain ways. At first I wanted to expand on this topic and incorporate world poverty but that was to general. Also there was too much information and differing ideas on my question when applying it to world poverty. Thus, I decided to just stick with poverty in America. I already had a lot of knowledge on this subject and it was something that could be tied in with material from class. While listening to Professor Fitzgerald’s lectures

Night terrors are a type of parasomnia, that cause screaming, intense fear, and flailing, while still asleep. These episodes are most common but not limited to children between ages of four to twelve, for they can also still occur in adults. Mostly children are affected by this parasomnia, but only three to six percent of them have these night terrors, and the percentage of occurrences in adults are lower. Some studies show that there are some variables, such as tiredness, or drugs, may cause a development of these disturbances during sleep. While most will grow out of their sleep terrors, some may not, and must find different ways to control or reduce their chances of having night terrors. Usually, night terrors are not normally due to psychiatric disorders, so with that in mind, it is logical to assume that they are often triggered by certain environmental factors.

The first thing I did when I got the isearch paper was sit in my chair and listen to Mr.Reed talk, after he finished explaining the paper the class went to the library and when I we got there I sat down for about 15-20 minutes and decided to change my question from “Why Rainbow Six Siege is better on Xbox One that Playstation 4” to my question now which is “why Donald Trump should support the second amendment” because I felt that i could write a better paper over this question. After changing my question I went and found the book Gun Control by George A. Milite, after finding this book I looked through it and found some useful information, so I wrote it on the paper as a source and then was done for the day. The next day in class I looked on the internet and

Beginning the research process, and even now writing this paper, I have no idea exactly what I was looking for. At the time I was just searching to see what was out there in the way of credible sources relating to my topic and going with what I felt would be able to help me the most. I admit it’s not a great method, but it allowed me to find some very helpful sources that made writing this paper easier for me. Regardless, I found a variety of information ranging from personal statements, to interviews, to journal articles, it actually surprised me how much information I was found.

The biggest thing I noticed in the process of doing research was how much time it took. I don’t usually amass 10 sources I usually only pick 5 to 6. When I do pick less sources I use a lot of information from them. I don’t just pick and choose. I think it is important to have a lot of different sources to support your argument but I also think quality over quantity is important as

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.

In the beginning of my research I had trouble thinking of a topic, I brainstormed and jotted down topics that are of my interests and topics that are currently going on I then decided to choose my topic on free public college education. In the beginning of my search for articles on free college education, I had trouble looking for the right articles I mostly received results that were not related to free public college education and this frustrated me. I then tried to be as specific as possible when it came to the keywords I then used Boolean searching, this gave me more relatable sources on my topic. Boolean searching is what helped me the most when it came to looking for articles that are useful for my

An important issue in my research is how am I going to go about it?

In the novel, Waiting for the Barbarians by J.M Coetzee, the magistrate’s progressive, non-linear dreams are a parallel to his growing involvement with the barbarians and his growing distaste for the empire. The great psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud said, “The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious.” In every dream there is a hidden meaning and when the reader starts analyzing the magistrate’s dreams he reveals that he is oddly attracted to the barbarians and knows he should not get involved and it will be a trial to get close to them.

When people think about their life dreams, more often than not they think first about whether or not it is a childish dream. Adults constantly live their lives by what is deemed childish or practical and how people will view them for following those dreams. Most of the time, those who are going to follow all of their childhood dreams have some level of emotional immaturity. Bringing this down to students has much of the same effect. After all kids hit a certain age, the adults in their lives shoot them down for having what they deem as childish dreams. Even some young kids experience it from their peers who had to grow up too fast, and then push that onto each other because they cannot accept that others aren’t treated the same. Following all of your dreams requires someone not be entirely emotionally mature.
