of the human mind and its functions, dreams, what are they? Dreams are a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person’s mind during sleep. Dreams are very mysterious, they are the “royal road to… the unconscious,” a famed psychologist once said (Sigmund Freud). Still, what is the meaning behind dreams?

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.

This is a symptom of PTSD as…
(Tartakovsky). Our dreams are unconscious thoughts that contain much more than just abstract, meaningless images. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, or stage two in the sleep cycle, is when most dreaming occurs (Lewis xvii). REM sleep can occur up to five times per night, though this sleep is affected by drugs, alcohol, and caffeine. This sleep is necessary to the sleep cycle and important for memory. Dreaming can also occur during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, but these dreams are more…
