should happen, it causes misery when their “blueprint” does not go as planned. In Jeanette Winterson’s essay “The World and Other Places”, she introduces characters who live their lives through their dreams and imaginations but have a hard time facing their truth. These characters were waiting for their dreams and imagination to re-invent their realities. She illustrates the drawbacks of living in a space that does not exist. Similarly, in Alison Gopnik’s essay “Possible Worlds: Why Do Children…

Late into the night, a girl falls into a deep sleep. After a while, she has a dream that she is trapped in a dark and dreary basement. She begins to cautiously wander around looking for a way out as her heart is racing. All of the sudden, she hears a loud crackling sound. She hastily turns around to see what had made the noise. To her surprise, she saw a large, bright orange flame expanding out over the whole width of the hallway behind her. By looking intensely at the flames, she notices…

they are ethereal because they can come and go they become sheer pigments of our dream and imagination. While objects that we see are perfect exact 100 percent replica of a real person; hence why McGinn said that images of dematerialized body in other words has no physicality. In other words, McGinn is saying you see his body, but you are not really seeing his body; they are real, but not real at the same time. Unlike dream, films can make a body “perfect” due to the fact that it cannot…

to develop a valid dream interpretation, Freud’s interpretations, at his time, were quite convincing due to his effort to form a scientific-like explanation for them and avoid making abstract theories. For example, in The Interpretation of Dreams (1900a), he argues that “every dream is a wish which is represented as fulfilled, that the representation acts as a disguise if the wish is a repressed one, belonging to the unconscious, and that except in the case of children’s dreams only an…

consciousness, but particularly, the state of our consciousness within dreams. We lose our consciousness as we enter to relax our brain and thus enter a deep sleep. However, what if we could be aware when we are unconscious? That is what lucid dreaming is. Lucid dreaming is a dream in which the dreamer is consciously aware that they are dreaming to which they may be able to have the ability to control certain aspects of the dream itself. This rare phenomenon may take place only a few times in…

Controlling dreams is very intriguing phenomenon. In the book Lucid by Adrienne Stoltz and Ron Bass readers can experience what it is like to be able to control dreams. Gangsters in the time of prohibition were very ruthless and dirty, which is clear to see in the book The Untouchables by Eliot Ness. These two books have many differences, but they both have objects that deeply connect to the plots. In this journal, the argument is why alcohol, animals, and the girl’s beds are the most important…

knowledge obtained by doing, can live through lucid dreams. Not in any way dream control, lucid dreams have little or no control on dreaming. Nevertheless, lucidity in a dream will probably improve the ability to methodically affect the specific happenings of the dream. Practice may influence the quantity or amount of control over events in a dream. Many lucid dreamers make a choice to do some act permitted only by the exceptional liberty of the dream,such as flying. Can our mind accept seeing…

Dreams are really something aren't they? Dreams can play in your head theatre nice and pleasant, they can play wild and spectacular, they can play terrifying and violent, and some just straight up go insane. Most of the dreams from my childhood were exactly like the last description. They just take some bad advice from my subconscious and go nuts with it. I possess this one set of dreams that I remember very well, and fit the criteria of ‘insane’. Most of these dreams, my 2nd grade self…

Have you ever wondered why we dream? In the medical world, dreams cause great controversy between medical professionals. Those who study dreams study them to determine if there are medical reasons for them, or if they are just meaningless parts of the brain’s functions. There are differing opinions on what our dreams mean. Dreams could have to do with how we feel that day, or they could be just random videos that have no connection to our lives. (“Facts About Dreaming”) Our brains are very…
