Dreams come true I slowly waddled out of my bed and looked around to make sure I was still in my room. I always seem to wake up startled and frankly, a bit panicked after one of my adventurous dreams. Though I can say this one was different. It was a spur of mixed emotions and what seemed to be the realest dream i 've yet come to experience. It all started out one night, right before midnight. I was on my normal daily routine binging on Netflix and eating something that I had probably sneaked…

What are dreams? Dreams are a series of thoughts you have and pictures you see when you are asleep. You can’t control a dream and more than likely when you wake up you 'll forget it. Sometimes people have a type of dream that are known as Lucid dreams. Lucid dreaming is when you are aware of your dream and have the ability to control it. Only 20% of people will have this type of dream regularly and the other 80% would be lucky to even have 1 lucid dream in their lifetime. Knowing you are…

Only half of the population remembers their dreams regularly, however many people read significance into them and numerous theories have been proposed to explain the phenomenon of dreaming (Haralambos et al. 2002). Although it is universally accepted that dreaming is “a stage of sleep characterized by the experience of visual imagery and rapid eye movement (in the REM stage)” each theory proposes a different function/aspect of dreaming, most theories belonging to either the neurobiological or…

The Bimini Road is something that you probably haven't even heard about before. The Bimini Road, also called the Bimini Wall, is an underwater road that has a very mysterious creation that nobody knows about. It has been a conundrum for a very long time, but there are also many theories to what it is. I believe that it was once a wall that was encircling an ancient city. The Bimini Road is located north of the island of Bimini. It was first discovered in 1968 by Joseph Mason Valentine. The road…

{No intro yet or conclusion}Psychological criticism is a method in which reading as dictated by Freud is applied to analyse texts, as Freud argues that the main argument to this theory is that texts such as dreams present unconscious desires of the author. Ursula K. Le. Guin is best known “for inventing fantasy worlds and uncommon experiences in such a way that readers can see themselves in the stories’ reflections,” as X.J Kennedy and Dana Gioia pointed out. Le. Guin demonstrates this in “The…

Personality development can be explained through a psychoanalytic approach using the theories of Sigmund Freud. Sigmund Freud was an Austrian physician who treated patients with mental illness. He was a great thinker that developed numerous psychological theories that had their fair share of controversy. Freud believed human behavior was due to the interaction between the id, ego, and superego; the three components of personality. The id is the source of the inherited, instinctual drives known…

The Lesson of an Unexpected Dream Not everything is what it seems and you have to delve into the mysteries of dreaming to find things you can learn from. If you look closely you can find lessons you can learn, but dreams are not the sight into the future. They are scenes that can’t affect you, but can help you alter your life. In my unexpected dream I learned that sometimes you don’t understand what can happen and when or that bad things can happen; but, that should not stop you from fighting,…

Have any of you very sleepy and do not know why? You came to the right place. A Third of Life by Paul Martin, Improving Sleep by Lawrence Epstein, and Sleep Debt and the Mortgaged Mind by William C. Dement & Christopher Vaughan introduces the concept of sleep. Many people regard sleeping just waking up in the morning and going back to sleep at night, and feeling really tired around the afternoon, but sleep is more complicated than that. Sleep is what is going around your body physically and what…

deep in our subconscious and unconscious minds and sometimes those aspects of ourselves that we conceal or repress have a greater sway over our identities than we think they do. The unconscious mind is also the source of our dreams, hence the title of my piece, Je Rêve (I Dream). When I was assigned this project, I had a difficult time figuring out exactly what medium I should use to convey my identity. I usually have no trouble creating reflective visual art, but written statements about my…
