Carl Jung believed that all individuals share an “ collective unconscious”(Golden).This meant that there is a common thought between all humans that lies below a person's unconscious mind. Mythological critics view literary…

Dreams are mysterious things that people try to understand. Some think that dreams have meaning, whether others think they mean nothing at all. In my opinion, dreams can relate to what you thought about or what you did during the day, but I do not think they have a meaning. You can relate your dreams to things you did if you try to, but I think this means that you are giving your dreams meaning because you want them to mean something. I talked to others to see if they had a similar opinion on…

“Freud and gothic literatures are like cousins, both respond to the problems of selfhood and identity, sexuality and pleasure, fear and anxiety, in the nineteenth and twentieth century.” Freud argued that humans are not unified wholes, but internally ruptured and alienated from nature and himself (Martin 41). “The goal of the Freudian analyst, like that of Victor Frankenstein, is to re-member the dismembered parts of our fragmented selves, to cure us by making us whole.

Society may say that dreams don’t have anything to do with people's life, however, these human beings who state this probably haven’t read the novella Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck. Yes, dreams impact people's life and there is evidence. Steinbeck illustrates how desires are connected to actions, they play an important role, and it affects individuals. To begin with, society may remark that desires are not connected to actions. This is because goals and actions are two…

The four principal psychological functions are sensation,…

Theme: Dreams are a free plane ticket to travel the world in your mind. One main theme I found in the alchemist was dreams. Because In the beginning of the book the boy goes to sleep in an abandoned church and he says he had the same dream 3 times in a row to the palm reader. The dream was him traveling across the world looking for treasure in Egypt. A published study suggests that dreaming about a new or difficult task can actually make the task easier to perform once awake. In the experiment,…
