My Dream Journal
Dream Journal Most of my dreams were connected to the day before or upcoming days, I was able to interpret them using an few websites. Interpreting my dreams has led me to learn more about myself, especially emotions that I don't even show. Throughout this assignment, I had trouble remembering my dreams, after having a bizarre dream, I started to remember more dreams.
My first dream was about me being chased because that person wanted to kill me. I learned that my body may be attempting to get rid of a negative part of me. A guess is that it wasn’t major because I wasn’t actually killed. Another interpretation is that I may deep down have a negative relationship with that person. Being chased in this dream is significant because it means

    I think that the explanation of the psychoanalytic theory of dreams is the best. We have all had dreams that are completely fantastical. There really is no purpose to them other than the fact that we, as the dreamer, think it would be fun to do. This theory makes dreaming an escape into a world where anything can…

    Dream Fulfillment Theory

    This theory suggests that dreams are used to process the day’s events. Although my dream is not a memory, I can see how it can be inspired from my everyday activities. Usually this dream occurs when I am feeling overwhelmed, thus when I sleep, my mind processes the stress and worry from that day and portrays it in a dream. Through this dream, my brain is processing my anxiety and putting it into a more tangible form. This theory explains how dreaming is an opportunity for one’s mind to handle information that is subconsciously on our mind, and otherwise unable to be…

    Throughout the ages philosophers have been puzzled by the idea of dreams. Humans have written and interpreted dreams. For example,The ancient egyptians wrote a dream book which listed common dreams. Dreams are images, thoughts and emotions you are experiencing during sleep. Even with today's technological advancements, there is still no definite answer to why we dream. Scientists believe that the reason we dream is because of past or present memories, emotions, and unsuppressed and unconscious desires and dreams. After doing research, there are some interesting theories which include: solve problems,wish fulfillment, and to forget.…

    “That dreams are meaningful is not a Freudian discovery, since the art of dream-interpretation (which presupposes that the dream has meaning) has existed for centuries.”(Rodriguez, 2001) Some researches state that Freud did not take into account that culture, age and race also has a role in dreams. Freud’s method can be used to help detect several mental disorders and if I want to learn how to interpret my dreams.…

    This is the un-scientific part of dreams – interpretation. There are common symbols and themes, as shown in history and around the world, but is there truly some sort of dream “code” with which one can accurately interpret his or her dreams? There are general ideas surrounding certain types of dreams, such as the “falling” dream. “Falling dreams...are generally considered to represent situations in which the dreamer feels in danger of losing status, respect, security or emotional stability.” (Van de Castle, 1994, p. 337) Falling generally represents insecurity or lack of control over a situation. Or the common “failed test” dream, where the dreamer finds himself unprepared or struggling to complete a task such as a test in school, a sporting event or performance of some sort, which has manifested itself to many dreamers. These dreams can be a result of anxiety felt by the need for achievement and the pressure of society to meet certain standards. “To understand the precise meaning of your dream, you need to identify that area in which you currently feel deficient or feel that you lack what you need to achieve goals.” (Garfield, 2001, p. 124) In summary, while some dream themes are shared by many, each dream can have a specific meaning to each dreamer, depending on the current situations in the individual’s…

    Freud once said “Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious” (Daniel, 2017). The unconscious mind is interesting because you are aware of it but you have no control over what happens in your dreams. In a way, it reveals your deepest truths that even the person having the dream will not admit to themselves. The unconscious mind is “Full of unacceptable thoughts, wishes, feelings, and memories” (Daniel, 2017). Throughout this course, I have found dream analysis to be the most interesting topic.…

    The emotional aspect of dreaming could be the most important. Dreaming takes us to places we can't go in our regular, conscious life. Dreams are often completely illogical, and shouldn't make sense at all. Sometimes we dream about things we wish would happen. Things our minds manifest into stories that could technically happen, but it's something we wouldn't let ourselves do in real life.…

    Dreams, everyone has them, but do they remember them? Many people claim to have amazing dreams, and others cannot recall a single detail. Many find that to be odd, while others do not mind. According to Sigmund Freud, all dreams are meaningful, even the crazy ones (Wade, 159). Keeping a dream journal is a great way to find out how often you dream and what you can learn about those dreams. Most people dream, even if they don’t recall it.…

    It was a cloudy day at what looks like Sea Side Park. My father and I were standing on isolated boulders, nearby one another other, yet every single boulder was in the shape of an upside-down cone. Underneath us were the ocean’s tide, which was low at the point. The ground was visible but instead of sand being present, there were leaves and soil. We seem to have been fishing, for we were waiting till our line gets hit on. All of a sudden sharks and alligators came crawling from the water. The shark amazingly wobbled along side with the alligator. They were heading for us and my last memory was striking the alligator in the head.…

    As I started to read this chapter I was fascinated by what types of genes there are and how they make a human but I haven't been able to quite understand each of them. On January 29th I found out the sex of my unborn child and was very excited when I read in the "Male or Female?" that the Y sperm with the SRY gene from the male XY shaped chromosome is what pentrated my ovum to create my baby boy who is due on June 27th of this year. While reading about "Additive Heredity", it helped me understand and learn more about where I got my height and other genes from. Growing up I was always told that I was going to get my fathers height and look exactly like him. Out of 5 of us kids, I am the oldest and the shortest. So people were wrong (laughing). I do look exactly like my father. I have his eye color (hazel), hair color/curliness, skin color, but unfortunately did not get his height like I wanted. I am 5' 1" , my two younger sisters on my mothers side who are 18 and 19 years old are both taller than me along with my mother being taller than me, and on my step mothers side, my 12 year old brother is almost the same height as me already and my 2 year old little sister is taller than usual. My mother always told me that I got my height from my Great Grandma and her 5 sisters, who are my Great Aunts because they are all 5' 1" as well. I don't mind it much anymore because our background is Irish which is where we get our heights and orangish hair-color from. I have become very interested in my Irish background ever since I learned I was Irish. But anyways, off topic let me get back to the chapter. In the "Alcoholism" section, I happened to get a little emotional with this one because I have a lot of experience when it comes to dealing with alcohol. My father was an alcoholic when he was with my mother and because of alcohol he began to beat both me and my mother. But what made me so emotional about this topic was because of me being a lot more like my father and looking…
