Dreaming

undeniably true statement? Descartes does not believe so. He says “Let us suppose, then, that we are dreaming, and that all these particulars—namely, the opening of the eyes…are merely illusions” and “Arithmetic, Geometry, and the other sciences of the same class… and scarcely inquire whether or not these are really existent, contain somewhat that is certain and indubitable: for whether I am awake or dreaming”. What he means by saying this is just like we could dream about mathematics, and to…

she had met and fell in love with in her dreams was not the man that was standing in front of her. The version of Porphyro that she wakes up to in her room is not the version that she had conjured in her dreams all of this time.

as on dreams; this theory states that dreams are essentially subconscious cognitive processing. Contrary to Freud 's view of dreams, the cognitive theory does not believe in the hidden or symbolic meanings of dreams.

Individualism is the act of going against a majority. To be an individual, one must isolate themselves from others, and suffer the consequences of not following the status quo. In George Orwell's 1984, Winston is the perfect representation of what it means to be an individual.

Winston bravely goes against the hive mind of the Party…

In We Beat The Streets there was a lot of sentences that related to Tupac's quote. The boys Dreamed of what they wanted to be and they worked hard on it. And always dream because dreams lead you to happiness, And enjoyment to your life. I believe It's worth it to dream because. It inspires others. When you tell people it's worth it to dream…

With the barrel of a loaded gun between my teeth and the taste of steel on my tongue, I looked up at the ceiling of my room with uncertainty. Maybe I hoped a miracle would shoot down, maybe it stood as my last effort in trying to convince myself that this wasn't the answer. Nothing came. Nothing tried to stop me. A debilitating reassurance that the cruelty I'd grown accustomed to, knew no mercy. My finger rest on the trigger. Only a click away. I applied the needed pressure to send me away from…
