Lucid dream

There can be two kinds of dreams. The first being a series of thoughts or images that occur while sleeping. The second is a desired goal or aspiration for the future. Both are imaginary, but the dream that can become a reality is the most significant. By becoming reality, these dreams lead to a tangible goal to strive for. In A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry and A Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes, the consequences for not following dreams are for the dream to become pointless and the…

Why do we dream? Why do dreams matter? Why would that psycho skill evolve us? What’s the down fall of not sleeping? Phantasmata and dreams help us process over leftover fear and anxiety. It’s like the garbage disposal of psyche. Dreams are personal. Tragic or traumatic events can cause the person to have nightmares and the person can even have nightmares randomly. Scary but necessary we are churning through what holds us back. For example, it’s just like the movie “A nightmare on Elm Street” the…

In my dreams, I am a different person than who I am in real life. I can fly, swim for hours without needing a breath of air, and sing as loud as I can. I can see the world in millions of bright colors, smell the most delightful smells, and feel comfortable on any surface. I have never been one to have my report cards hung on the refrigerator for the whole household to see and I grew up thinking I was not smart or worthy of appreciation because I was not good at taking tests or turning in…

Everyone has hopes and dreams they want to strive to achieve. Whether these dreams are small ones just to get through the day or long term ones to help in the future. They are the things that help us strive to where we need to be. For me, I have had some large hopes while I have also had small hopes. Some of mine have been crushed while others have been brought to light,but my true and most dearest hope is to become a forensic anthropologist. This is my greatest dream. Now many people when…

images known as “dreams”. Dreams vary from person to person. But with that being the case it could mean that people have their own definitions of dreams. Even though dreams vary from person to person, the psychological process are all the same but it is just a matter of what the psychological processes are. When a person has a really good dream they would normally want to tell others about their fantasy experience, but some people have the struggle of not being able to recall their dreams.…

published the book, The Epic of American. In the book, Adams coins the term “American Dream”, stating “[it] is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.” In the novel Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck, early conceptions of the “American Dream” are present in various characters. Astoundingly, the “American Dream” is different for all of the characters, but the reasoning for their…

Death of a Salesman From the outset death of a salesman portrays the pitfalls of the American dream. The dream centred on the high chance that anyone can strike it rich in this Land of opportunity. Even in 1950s USA people were still taking a chance on this myth. Death of a Salesman shows the traps of the dream. The failures centred on poor Willy Loman This fine line between making it and become your average Joe becomes heavily apparent when Willy decides he has had enough and kills…

these as his benchmarks, Willy can never achieve the success he so desperately craves. Through a series of flashbacks in the play, where we witness Willy's persistent efforts to make the American Dream a reality for himself and his family, Miller launches a scathing attack on the very notion of the dream. He questions the values upon which American society is based and the way in which these contribute to the destruction of a man such as…

Sigmund Freud proposed that the dreams we have show what we want to feel but are too afraid to admit. He used the terms ‘manifest content’ and ‘latent content’. Manifest content can be defined as the remembered story line of the dream. For example, if you had a dream about going to a casino and gambling. The manifest content is remembering that you lost at the table or the machines. Latent content is applying that dream into your unconscious mind to interpret what it means. The gambling may…

Freud once said, “Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious” (“The Interpretation”). Sigmund Freud firmly believes that dreams allow people to be what they cannot be, and to say what they can not say in our more repressed daily lives (Freud). Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a novel that involves dreams to symbolize characters and foreshadow situations. Raskolnikov’s dreams may give more insight to his mind than the entire novel. Raskolnikov experiences four dreams from beginning…
