This event likely shaped Freud’s view on how big of a role the unconscious part of a person plays in shaping personality and how important dream analysis is. Another event from Freud’s childhood that shaped his personality theories was the birth of his younger brother. Freud was very jealous of his younger brother…

Understanding my own dreams has always been a struggle for me; well even just remembering them came as a struggle. In order to gain the knowledge required to interpret and understand a dream, one must conduct a full analysis of the dream. Sigmund Freud, an Austrian neurologist and creator of psychoanalysis, spent a significant amount of his life interpreting dreams.

judgment and understanding, which I see it may be a wonky route to get there, and I may have had to pull over multiple times for a nap. However, I got what Gladwell was communicating. Gladwell was talking about how we use our subconscious or conscious mind tools to judge or understand a situation. After reading three to four pages knew I that I would not enjoy this book, even though I had not read the whole book yet, my intuition told me this was not going to be one of my favorites. What…

Their art speaks truthfully and depicts art in unique ways that few understand. The artists I chose are not average artists. They seem to go above and beyond in their work, as well as show their strengths, weaknesses, joys, sorrows, dreams, and nightmares through their work. The first artist I chose was Salvador Dali. I chose Salvador Dali because he was an…

Proposing The Objectionable It is commonplace these days to think of an educational experience as one in which an individual is eager to partake in a form of growth. This educational experience could be intellectual, spiritual, or even physical if this individual learns about the inner workings of their own body.
