Dreams And Analysis: Dreams And Analysis Of High School
I was that child, like others, who wished she never had a bedtime so she could stay up late and watch television. The child who held an unreasonable animosity towards a tranquil slumber. The child who discounted her parent’s guidance on enjoying my childhood before I was held accountable for important responsibilities. But I have grown up (not completely but enough to come to some life-changing realizations) to learn to cherish sleep. However this realizations comes from the intriguing experience called high school. High school sucks. It’s a bare bone sentence that still doesn’t bring justices to the amount of stress and “deep” interpositional thoughts about my future and purpose in life. In addition to it making me a huge procrastinator …show more content…
Setting: It was a bright morning and located in a canyon containing a lot of plateaus.
Plot: The whole dream played like a cinematic experience in a third person perspective. The characters (crewmates) consist of people I considered close friends even though, as the dreamer, I don’t recall them. We were aboard a futuristic spaceship in a rush to go into a high-tech underground bunker that, at the time, I didn’t know why we were in until the next day. And although I don’t remember what these people looked like nor how many of them there were, I do remember how dark the scene was when we entered the bunker.
Analysis: I believe this dream was in associate with the fact that I binge watched DC’s Legends of Tomorrow during the day. The show consist of a tight-knit yet uncooperative crew of thieves, metahumans (humans with powers), and vigilantes that travel in a flying timemachine called The Waverider fixing time. I believe this was my brains way of storing all of the information I had received from the show into my brain.
Dream 2:
Total hours of sleep: 7 hours 47

Plot: I was riding a bike in the neighborhood. I have flashes of the dream but can’t recall whether I was just riding alone or being chased by a person or dogs. I do remember feeling content and welcomed

    However, researchers, such as Wahlstrom (2002), criticized the viewpoint that grades are the sole source of benefit from increased adolescent sleep, calling the myopic focus “shortsighted” (p.18). In point of fact, a plethora of researchers have investigated the myriad of benefits derived from obtaining optimal sleep, creating a vast amount of literature on the topic (see Chapter 2).…

    *Authors note: Differences in detail between this retelling and a vocal retelling of the most lucid dream I've ever had exist solely as a result in the difference of medium. When telling a story with speech it is prudent to keep words flowing and to take little time for pause, leaving blank spots in the recollection. When writing however, one is allowed many chances to stop and gather their thoughts. While all of the content of this text document occurred in a dream within my own head making it therefore, by its very nature, subjective; I will attempt with the greatest of my abilities to avoid fabrication or invention of themes, topics, or occurrences, that did not happen during the time span of the dream. As many surely know, dreams can be difficult to recall in clarity, and if I fail to recall what happened I will simply note so.…

    Everyone would rather feel wide awake during as school day than to be falling asleep in class, unable to concentrate for the big final. Sleep is mandatory to everyone, and people depend on sleep to function every day. The amount of sleep a person gets throughout a night can affect their mind, making their abilities to remember, think, and learn harder. Due to their lack of melatonin, teenagers need the most sleep compared to adults. Although, they are the ones that have to wake up the earliest due to the early high school start times. Statistics, facts and studies have shown that the time school starts for adolescents affects the teenager in many ways. Being sleep deprived doesn’t allow the teenager to function their best.…

    Sleep deprivation is a common struggle many adolescents confront daily in their lives. It is a chronic condition with severe negative consequences to the developing teenage body and its effects may be even more dire when combined with the stress of heavy schoolwork along with extracurricular activities. Professional doctors advise and recommend growing teenagers to sleep eight hours or more, however this proves to be rather very difficult with the interference of the standard school schedule starting early in the morning. Starting school at a later time may highly reduce the negative effects of sleep deprivation and possibly improve the conditions of students.…

    The last time I remember something as huge as starting in high school was having to move to Oregon from Alaska, but for better or for worse, here I am, attempting to make my mark on this big blue Earth. However, Highschool was never always just peaches, cream, rainbows and unicorns. If I’m to be one hundred percent honest here, I was legitimately terrified of it, whether it be the totally reasonable fear of being stuffed into a locker by a bully or getting lost in a labyrinth of corridors and passages of infinite classes and broom closets. But those fears never truly emerged up until the final days of freedom that remained from my graduation of 8th grade. As the days drew nearer, so did my fear reaching the brim of a breakdown. I was scared,…

    Sleep is an extremely interesting phenomenon in which the mind almost completely departs from the usual realm of consciousness (Foulkes, 1999). Many theories have been proposed over the years as to why we need sleep. An essential part of sleep is the surreal world and narrative that is experienced during the state known as dreaming (Combs & Krippner, 1998).…

    I have a lot of things I’d like to have differently, and i can do a cliche scholarship about change or i can share and elaborate on one of my dreams. I have a reoccurring dream where i go to the corner of a street (usually one that i drive on a lot) and enter a pet store. I walk into the pet store and sometimes it feels like i'm walking on a baggage claim belt. When i finally get into the pet store, it is closed and they throw me in one of those big trash cans because i just want to pet the fish. When i land in the trash can i start falling into a deep deep dark pit of mystery and curiosity. When I land, I land in a fishbowl as a fish. I guess I’m pretty calm about being turned into a fish. I start swimming around the bowl a find things from…

    This dream is not talking about parts of yourself, but about real outer situations. I have discovered that the more right brain a person is (i.e., visionary and intuitive) the more likely he is to dream further away from home (away from his own self). That means that right brain people may be more likely to have a greater number of dreams about others. For example, I have noted that three different woman who scored 7.7 on the “Brain Preference Indicator” test in the Communion with God book (the highest score I have seen) have vivid dreams about others in which they see the murders, rapes, and thefts…

    Dreams that hint at the future intrigue and affect humans. Many tragedies such as the destruction of a coal-mining village at Aberfan in 1966, the sinking of the Titanic, and 9/11 were preceded by premonitions. A woman who had booked a flight to Disney on 9/11 cancelled her plans after a disturbing dream, and later, she discovered that the details in her dream were actually statistics of the casualties from the attack (Chalmers 4). Also, despite being commuter services, “the occupancy of the all four doomed planes was a mere 21%” (6). Reports of premonitions have led researchers to continue studies on REM sleep and lucidity. Some ingoing studies involve “trying to get the dreamer to communicate with observers while he or she is dreaming”…

    The National Sleep Foundation reported that eighty percent of teenagers get too little sleep. Teens normally require about nine to nine and a half hours of sleep, but they average to only seven hours a night. During sleep is typically said to be a person’s best thinking hours. Why is this? Believe it or not, dreams are a sign that your brain is working even when you are asleep. During Rapid Eye Movement, or REM, is when we dream most vividly. According to some researchers, dreams have no meaning whatsoever, but others say dreams are symbols of troublesome issues in our waking lives. Natalie Angier, a Columnist for the New York Times, describes how the brain works when we are asleep. For instance she states, “The primary visual cortex is the part of the brain that receives signals from the visuals of the outside world, which is dormant. Then you have your secondary visual cortex, which…

    My dream turned into nightmare as my alarm clock rang frantically. The voice of my mom was at her high pitch screaming for me to take my shower. It was already 7.30 in the morning. The sun shone his majestic rays straight into my eyes as I looked out through my bed room’s window. I was stunt to see Uncle Lim drove away the Yellow bus I used to ride every morning to school. I am a dead meat as I knew I have to cycle to school by my sister’s bike. For god sake, it was pinky girly bicycle.
