Good evening everyone! The forum assignment for this week requires us to think of a dream we had and then go to a website that claims to be able to interpret what the dream was about.
What was the dream that you used with the Dream Dictionary about (if you are not comfortable disclosing the dream skip this question and start with the next one).
The dream I chose for this assignment is one I had about five years ago which is still fairly vivid to me even now because it had made absolutely no sense to me. In my dream, I was married to a young, blue-haired lady that wore regular jeans and a shirt, spoke in a language that sounded more like gibberish, and had a nose ring stud. We supposedly lived in a new house, yet the house was the same which I was living in at that time and am currently still in. I am uncertain if we had children or not, but we were spending a romantic evening together and were chatting about various things. Then I asked her to dance with me, and …show more content…
The dream appears to fit in the prospect that the dream had no true meaning at all.
What dream theory would the dream best fall under?
The dream theory my dream would fall under is the activation-synthesis theory which suggests dreams can be simply signals from the pons of the brain with no true meaning behind them and the cortex trying to interpret with the information it has at its disposal.
Do you believe that dreams have real meaning? Why or why not?
This is a difficult question to answer because there are dreams like the one I had which have no merit, but I believe dreams can interpret the subconscious of a person is. For instance, a person that has or is doing something wrong may dream about their world literally falling in around them could be subconsciously worried about what will happen if they are found out.
