‘The Wasteland’ has been psycho-analytically studied to understand the poet’s psyche, the metaphor of images, symbols, etc. for new untouched and unexplored findings in the genre of practical criticism. The poem has been deciphered on the basis of three psychoanalytic models (a) Lacan’s ‘Language and Unconscious’ (b) C.G. Jung’s ‘Collective Unconscious’ and (c) Northrop Frye’s ‘Archetypal Criticism’. Lacan’s ‘Language and Unconscious’, attempts to read ‘The Wasteland’ in the likeness of…
different look on reality. As I see it, dreams are reflections of our subjective reality; they are the ideas our subconscious mind forms on the basis of our perspective in the state of being awake. They are often regarded as symbolic, and we trust them more than we would trust a story featuring supernatural events. Nightmares, for example, are reflections of our greatest fears. Personally, I believe, the premonitions we get from nightmares, or just dreams in general, also affect our actions…
Lucid dreaming occurs when one knows that they are having a dream. The term was created by Frederik van Eeden who used the word "lucid" in the sense of mental clarity.

In fact, in 3000-3500 B.C. dream…
Reuben's dreams had a significant role in his reality, and the author used his dreams to show what may happen later on or as a way to reflect on what was currently happening in his life. The dreams Reuben had were very vivid to him, and were mostly nightmares that obligated him wake up scared to fall back asleep and made breathing a struggle for him. He mainly described the way he felt after the dream had finished. When people experience bad dreams on a regular basis, it can mean that the dreams…
How do we avoid the uncanny becoming just another clichéd trope on the methodological menu? How might we revise ideas concerning the uncanny and explore what it means to us as Fine Art practitioners, keeping in mind ontological ambiguity? Freud described the uncanny as the class of frightening things that leads us back to what is known and familiar (Freud, 1919). Previously Jentsch concluded that the uncanny was a fear of the familiar based on intellectual uncertainty (Jentsch, 1906). The…
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…

Freud has his own private practice, in which he studied…
acceptable for herself. Annie’s idea of her paradise completely changes from such a child-like fantasy of her life with her mother into one full of rebellion and anarchy, with her paradise with the Red Girl. Her new paradise comes to her as she has a dream where she is living on an island in isolation with her friend, the Red Girl, who she “[rescues] in a small boat” after her ship crashes(71 Kincaid). Annie and the Red Girl…
