It is so scary, but I would never wake up, just continue on going to sleep. It is also crazy how you dream about having something, but then you wake up and you don’t have the thing that you want. It is really curious for people to say that they do not dream when in fact, we really do.

    According to researcher Lee T. Pearcy (n.d.) at University College London, this type of dream was also believed to be “caused by external factors, such as gods, ghosts, or demons”. These beliefs also line up with Freud’s since they both thought that dreams were a result of external elements. The third aspect of Freud’s dream theory was that they are mostly based on hidden sexual desires. In the second century A.D, Artemidorus of Ephesus wrote a five-book dream interpretation guide (Attalus, 2015). In the first book, he spends…

However, Descartes claims that beyond our own thoughts is a reality of senses, but those senses could deceive us (Samuels,…

    While it is happening, namely, in the middle of the dream, what the dreamer is experiencing feels unquestionably real and incredibly true, regardless of how absurd or irrational the dream turns out to be; very rarely does the dreamer question the nature of their reality. This is epitomized in A Midsummer Night’s Dream’s first round of dreams, or the characters’ waking up into a dream state. After magic was used on them, Lysander and Demetrius had no perception of their dramatic personality change though it was perfectly obvious to both Hermia and Helena (a perfect example of nothing seeming strange in a dream while in the middle of it, no matter how strange). When a person wakes up and regains full consciousness, or at least begins to do so, what moments ago seemed so clear and genuine in existence, now feels rapidly fading and transparently untrue. The (past-tense) dreamer has trouble remembering the events of the dream and for a moment just after waking up, probably will not even be entirely aware of where they are.…
