Dreaming

Have you ever thought about where dreams come from? We have all been there in the middle of the night, where a dream seems so real that you wake up thinking you have actually experienced it. Some people think dreams happen because we are recalling events that occurred earlier in the day, or maybe because we are able to have visions from the future, but do we really know their main origin? Aristotle once defined dreams as a perceptionless state where our senses of our outside stimulus are shut…

idea of his current state of being. Moore actually uses part of Descartes’ argument in order to form his own argument: “I agree, therefore, with that part of this argument which asserts that if I don’t know now that I’m not dreaming, it follows that I don’t know that I’m not dreaming, it follows that I don’t know that I am standing up, even if I both actually am and think that I am” (Moore, pg 30). His argument takes the idea of certainty when using what he does know from the clues that his…

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…

unconditionally was his wife, Linda. She was fearful, but no matter his failures, she was there for him and respected him. Going back to Willy being a dreamer, he was dreaming about how well of a salesman he could be, at Dave Singleman’s funeral. This interprets that Willy is self-centered about himself.

ate the big meat in his dream. Knowing that he was not allowed to eat, he dared not to eat publicly and to put in an appearance. From the boy’s dream, we can tell his experience influences his dream, and his hunger forces him to seek redress from dreaming. On the other hand, the dream totally reflects his real…

“Harlem” by Langston Hughes is a poem with a much deeper meaning than portrayed. The poem talks about what happens to dreams when they do not come true. Although, when the speaker addresses to a dream, he is referring to back in the slave days when black and whites were segregated. The blacks once had a dream that they would be treated equally with the whites. That they would go to the same school and not have to sit in the back of the bus. When Hughes wrote this poem it was a few years before…

with my self-experiment. The main goal is to learn how to lucid dream and find out, if it can affect performance in any way. Not only performance in daily life but also in specific areas like school, work or even a hobby. Two methods to learn lucid dreaming will be covered but both need one basic requirement, which is improve your “dream memory”. It may be possible that you already entered a lucid state but cannot remember it after you wake up. The best way to train yourself is a dream journal. …

Lucid dreaming occurs when one knows that they are having a dream. The term was created by Frederik van Eeden who used the word "lucid" in the sense of mental clarity. Lucid dreaming usually begins in the middle of a dream when the person to whom might be dreaming realizes that the experience is not occurring in physical reality, but is a dream. A person will usually only realize that they are dreaming when him or her realize some impossible or unlikely event occurring. The quality or level of…

As Canadians, we value many things; one being our land. It is clear how much we cherish this from the line in our anthem, “God keep our land glorious and free”. Therefore, artists like Archibald Lampman and Marjorie Pickthall have written about our beautiful land. Both Pickthall poems “Dream River” and “The Pool” as well as Lampman’s “Morning on the Lièvres” do a wonderful job of describing nature. They constantly refer to gemstones or metals to describe nature’s aspects, thus giving the reader…
