    A series of small waves pressed the sail boat against the alge dock as his cold and cracked hands desperately yanked on the rope in an effort to raise the sails. Dark clouds had moved in the night before and had stayed overnight providing a refreshing sprinkle of rain every now and then. He looked out over the vast plain of unsettled water and saw one individual white cap rise up among the rest only to be pushed back down. Due to the lack of sunlight the frigid water appeared black and lifeless but he knew that below it was a complex community of different species. He then bent over the side of the boat and reached for its securing ropes.…

    Thank you for sharing this story. I don’t think it’s macabre to talk about the dead or spirits or dreams of spirits that linger. Dreams are amazing, or so I’ve always thought. There is real power in some of them. Others are probably a result of too much television and ice cream before bed, but that’s a whole ‘nother thing.…

    After reading and carefully considering which lucid dream technique to try in order to complete this assignment, I ultimately chose to work with the Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreaming or MILD created by Stephen LaBerge. In order to fully complete this lucid dream technique, I started on Monday, November 21st knowing I did not have to wake up early to go to school or get up and go to work. This gave me the ability to sleep in and focus on the technique without having to worry about whether or not I needed to be awake at a certain time and possibly forget what I was dreaming about. Before going to bed Monday night, I placed my dream journal and a pen right beside me on my nightstand that way I was ready and able to jot down notes from my dream when I woke up in the morning. When I woke up the next morning, I immediately wrote down in my dream journal what occurred in my dream.…

A faint wind flowed through our hair while a slight drizzle sprinkled down upon us. The lake’s chilly, dark green water came crashing down onto the beige concrete in heavy waves as we strolled along beside the water, taking in the breath-taking scenery. There had been a faint mist acting as a blanket covering the city of Chicago.…

    The dream I will be interpreting is one I had a while ago, but never understood due to it being so random and strange. Granted I had this dream when I was in middle school, so when names such as Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift or Braydon (my middle school crush) come up, that is why. The dream starts out and I am standing in a hotel lobby. The lobby is huge.…

    The short story Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne is about a man and his faith in himself, his wife, and his society. There are many questions lingering in the mind of a reader after reading the short story Young Goodman Brown. The biggest unknown in the short story is that whether the trip through the Salem woods a dream or a reality. In my opinion the trip is a dream, but the trip symbolizes the confusion inside himself. It also shows a physiological examination of a Puritan man in confusion about his religious identity.…
