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. Big enough to have a concert in, which is exactly what was happening. Taylor Swift was performing and a small crowd of about 300 people were around the stage, singing along. I am standing further away creating a gap between the crowd and where I am standing. I must have been going up to my hotel room, because when I turned around Justin Bieber was standing there in the elevator. He asked me what floor I needed and he clicked the number three on the wall of the elevator and we started going up. It seemed to take ages to get to the third floor. When the elevator stopped Justin was gone. I did not think much of it, but when doors of the elevator opened I looked down the hall of doors and it looked as if no one had been in the hotel for around one hundred years.

This theory is the Freudian belief that dreams provide an outlet for unacceptable desires. In my dream an example of this may have been the giant baby with my crush’s face.

Turns out, he is not as nice as I thought when I was younger. Maybe my subconscious knew he was not what I wanted before I realized it. Relating my dream to the theory, this may have been a way for my mind to realize this boy is not as great as I thought he was. Another example of this may have been Justin Bieber being there. At my middle school no one liked Justin Bieber, so maybe since I did at the time, I dreamt that I met

    The memories from that day in school could be linked to why in his dream the location would be at a school and why he would associate school with Kathy in the dream as well. The association of Kathy fits Memory Theory from him probably having many memories with and about Kathy that developed during school.

    At a young age, Osama Bin Laden studied economics and business administration at King Abdulaziz University before dropping out his third year and doing what he did. Bin Laden’s schooling certainly wasn’t a meaningless three years; however, his lack of interest in his education prompted him to drop his major and pursue his real passion in religion. It’s interesting how one young student’s choice of university changed the course of history.

    Dreams about the person you love are very clear, even though most dreams are not comprehensible to your conscience. The unconscious mind that produces your dreams uses a symbolic language in order to show you what is happening inside you and many things more. Why is this language so strange? Because you have inside you a terrible enemy: your primitive, wild side, that didn't evolve like your human side. In other words, the same way that you are a primate in many ways and you have an animal body, you have also an animal conscience.…

    In his analysis of dreams and the dream-work, Freud theorized that there were two distinct kinds of content in relation to dreams. The first kind of dream content is manifest content and refers to the material experienced in the surface of the dream. Manifest content includes all of the elements of images, thoughts, and content in the dream that is retained in an individual’s memory upon awakening. The second kind of dream content is latent dream-thoughts and refers to the relevant material of the dream discovered through analysis. Latent dream-thoughts consist of the hidden meaning of an individual’s unconscious thoughts, wishes, and desires.…
