Dream interpretation

Alone time with dad “Hey dad, forgot this screw.” I said as I was looking at the manual excitedly. My dad (Yaniv) and I (Adi), were working on building a basketball. My dad was nice and decided to do it a day after we bought the parts for the basketball. We bought the basketball because it was my sister’s birthday and she wanted a basketball really badly, but she wasn’t the only one. I was extremely excited too, because that meant that I don’t have to go to parks all the time just to play…

Descartes’ dream argument supports his overarching argument for hyperbolic doubt, described in his Meditations on First Philosophy. The dream argument questions one’s perceptions, conscious and unconscious, and how one determines what is true and what is false. He does this by comparing experiences while awake or dreaming. Descartes continues on that since one also cannot tell the difference between what is a dream and what is real life, our perceptions could overall be false, and “assumes…

asked themselves throughout their existence is why do dreams happen and do they mean anything? The Mesopotamians believed that dreams were messages from the gods about the future, and the Egyptians believed the same. Aristotle, a famous Greek philosopher, thought that dreams are the purest form of wisdom, and that they can be used to predict the future. Another Greek philosopher named Hippocrates was one of the first people to believe that dreams indicated a person’s mental and physical health.…

Discuss the title of the play. How does it relate to the dreams of each of the characters? The title, A Raisin in the Sun relates perfectly with the plot of this play and each of the characters because although each individual had a dream it was unsure what was going to happen to them with it. I find that this title is a beginning sentence of what each character will turn out to be, just like in…

Sigmund Freud and John B. Watson are two of the most famous pioneers of psychology. Though they had different ideas of how the human mind worked, the two had similar theories on human behavior. Sigmund Freud's’ background in biology, physiology, and neurology influenced his work in the field of psychology. Freud founded the branch of psychology known as psychoanalysis. He studied neurological reasons for people's behaviors, theorizing that people's phobias and mental illnesses stem from…

We learned that there are many branches of psychology such as experimental and cognitive, Freud was not a psychologist but a neuroscientist. Freud influenced society between 1880-1920 by introducing psychoanalysis and the idea of sexual repression. Psychoanalysis is a technique used on patients with trauma or mental disorders. Patients tap into their unconscious mind by talking in hope to bring repressed fears into patient’s conscious mind. Mental illness was not well known and there was a…

components of lucid dreaming, two of them, dream content control and purposeful waking, showed an increased amount in the patients that underwent imagery rehearsal therapy than those who did not. This study adds to the understanding of human behavior and mental processes as it shows how individuals (without imagery rehearsal therapy) that suffer from PTSD and recurrent nightmare are more aware of their dreams, yet have low control over the content of the dreams. This is a symptom of PTSD as…

Opposing Sigmund Freud’s concept of libido and sexuality regarding an individual’s unconsciousness, Carl Jung argued that the concept of mental energy seemed more applicable. Jung believed that dreams do not reflect a child’s unrealized wishes, but are mythological stories and images from the experiences of our ancestors. His take on psychoanalysis was called analytical psychology in which Jung expressed his ideas of the collective unconscious, archetypes, and psychological types. The collective…
