    I agree that the use of sleep in Macbeth supports this because sleep is a major aspect of the play.

Macbeth then suffers from terrible nightmares and delusions which are the reason for his fear and anxiety. Sleep in Macbeth symbolizes innocence‚ purity‚ and peace of mind and in killing Duncan Macbeth actually does murder sleep. Shakespeare brings in three different disorders of sleep‚ which

    “HP Lovecraft”‚ famed for his pioneering work in the genre of horror literature‚ was also a poet in addition to being a storyteller.

The poem is a tale of how one man’s envy turns

Although it doesn’t follow every guideline for a classic film noir film Chinatown is an example of the genre. The film simply takes place in modern times (when it came out). The 1970’s even provides a similar backdrop for the film to that of 1940’s film noir‚ a major war affecting the country. The film itself contains many key characteristics that noir will

    record‚ Welcome To My Nightmare (1975) entitled Welcome 2 My Nightmare back in 2011‚ my hope was that it be followed up by a tour. One that also included the original surviving members of Alice Cooper (1969-1974). Reason being because they were including on the album. Three different tracks. But that never happened. Instead Alice toured like he’s done since separating from the original members of Alice Cooper‚ with his own band. In my opinion‚ the three strongest tracks on Nightmare 2‚ was the ones written

    After experiencing a traumatic event‚ the mind has been known to horde away the details and memories and then send them back at unexpected times and places‚ sometimes after years have passed. It does so in a haunting way that makes the recall just as disturbing as the original event. It is easy to understand how Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can affect a person’s life.

    What is a dream? Some dictionaries say‚ “A series of thoughts‚ images‚ and emotions that occur during sleep” (Webster’s).

Dreams have both a metaphysical and physical existence. The metaphysical aspect is the imagery in a dream and its relation to the subconscious. The physical aspect is the chemical reactions that occur within the brain during dreams
