I found the reading "The Symbolic Language of Dreams", written by Stephens King, a very interesting story to write about. King stated a quote in his introduction saying that dreams are a useful way that help people find the nature of their problems; or, find answers to their problems in a symbolic way. The purpose of this essay is to show that dreams and imaginations were two main factors in King 's successful life. Hence, dreams and imaginations are critical factors when writing; they sure can resolve many issues and expand our thoughts in order to write better and longer books. Without passion writing good books is impossible.…

One might also point out the rich usages of imagery seen in the psalms (Psalm 23, for example) and highlight our regular usage of imagery in our daily functioning. While some people don’t have the capacity to imagine visual images, for most the skill is readily apparent.

Lucid dreaming, in simple terms, is the ability to become aware that you are dreaming. Lucid dreaming in the past has been seen as a mysterious talent. However, experiments have shown that is actually a learnable skill and that it can be enhanced and trained. (LaBerge: Lucid dreaming as a learnable skill: Perceptual and Motor Skills, 51, 1039-1042.) You can increase your capacity for lucid dreaming and cause yourself to experience it more often. Studies have also shown that you can gain control of your dreams and even influence the outcome.…
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.

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.…
