The Interpretation of Dreams

The interpretation of dreams is an arduous task in which the therapist must overcome the unconscious "resistance" of the subject, who censures his trauma as a defense against the anxiety that would cause the evocation of it. Another key aspect of psychoanalytic therapy…

In the universe of Minnelli’s films, almost everyone has dreams. Dream itself is a self-dominant world, in which the dreamer could create，change，or destroy for his own will. Reality is the container to hold so many self-dominant worlds. Speaking of the relationship between dream and reality, Jean Douchet makes an ambiguous argument about a recurring thematic in Minnelli: “Reality is the dream of other, but it is also one’s own dream.” It means that each dreamer has his own projection of the…

AP Language and Composition 15 October, 2017 Hamilton and The American Dream In the award winning Broadway Musical, Hamilton, written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, there are an array of rhetorical strategies used in order to convey Miranda’s personal beliefs of the American Dream. He uses strategies such as repetition, metaphors, similes, and allusion, all of which to exemplify and explain Miranda’s interpretation of the American Dream; everyone should, not only be granted opportunity, but not waste…

a blaze of glory. The ending is generally interpreted in one of two ways; 'light' or 'dark', where light is the understanding that the play ends without tragedy, and without the implication of impending tragedy, and where dark is the ironical interpretation that there is yet more to come, and a sense of unfinished business in the conclusion of the play (Wright, 2005). In this essay, I will argue that although there is no explicit statement that suggests otherwise, the ending of Sophocles'…

(Fitzgerald, 83). This commitment, though bordering on obsession, constructs the foundation of Gatsby’s greatness. While Gatsby never achieves his dream, this consuming determination exemplifies the intrinsic beauty of his character and his persistent nature. As a stark contrast to his rugged conviction, Gatsby also embodies a youth-like innocence in his dream. Gatsby naively believes that he can restore his relationship with Daisy to what it was in the past. “Can’t repeat the past? he cried…

achieve their wildest dreams. Many have come to America’s shores in search of this prosperity, some have succeeded and some have failed. The cycle of people trying and failing to achieve their American Dream is one that has disenfranchised some, however this issue has existed in the past as it does in the present. For example, Arthur Miller’s Death of Salesman tells the tale of Willy Loman, American salesman and father of two sons who is desperately trying to achieve the American Dream for his…

For many the American Dream is just that, a dream. It is almost inconceivable to some people that they could ever reach the goal of being successful and comfortable in the United States, but that has never stopped anyone from trying their hardest to achieve this feat. For some though that goal is not as unattainable as it is for others and the reason for this is because there is no set definition of the American Dream. The meaning of the American Dream varies for each person and therefore the…

age that he has. Reading the other sentences his hands might be trembling due to the fact that he is scared and just simply trembling uncontrollably from being scared of the unknown lurking in the darkness. The following sentence gives me the interpretation that the man is scared because you hear unknown echoes from the shadows and the shadow means darkness, evil, and people who mean harm. The sounds are outside of the house where danger is lurking in the shadows which is why he is trembling…

THERAPEUTIC TECHNIQUES 12.1. Interpretation In psychoanalysis, interpretation refers to the counsellor interpreting the material disclosed by the client, which sometimes relate to the conflicts of the past (Murdock, 2013). This means that the counsellor has the responsibility of explaining to the client how his material relates to the conflicts the client has experienced, as well as his behaviour (Murdock, 2013). The unconscious material to be interpreted varies from the client’s dreams, the…

other songs require you to interpret the lyrics to understand the deeper meaning. Artists often use figurative, metaphorical, and poetic elements in their songs to help develop the overall message. The use of figurative terms in a song leaves the interpretation of the song broad and allows the listener to have their own meaning of the song.
