Dream Analysis
In my dream, I am at the beach with my family. My little brother is with some others swimming in the ocean near the shore. I am on the balcony of the hotel, watching them play. Suddenly, I say a shark fin in the water and a dark shadow: a shark is swimming nearby and heading for them all. I try to shout to tell everyone to get out of the water, by my voice is not strong enoughit feels very weak and I dont know why. I try to shout but it is like the air and the wind are holding a hand over my mouth. I am frantic. I watch in horror and go cold all over as the shark bites of the children swimming and pulls him underand as quick as lightning the shark is away, leaving only a streak of blood behind. The method that seems best to me is the Freudian method, as it helps to relay the various aspects of the self that are at war with one another without realizing it but making it known to the self in the dream.
Freudian Analysis
From a Freudian analysis perspective the dream could be interpreted in this manner: The dream may represent the dreamers repressed wishes and fears. The symbol of the shark fin did not seem important to me at the time, but it could represent something significant as though my subconscious mind desired some danger in my life (Van de Castle, 1994). The fear of the shark may represent the fear of death or of something unknown. The desire to do something may represent the dreamers desire to save or be a hero. The children in the water may represent innocent aspects of the self that are in danger. The fin may represent the repressed wish to see something terrible happen. The fact that the dreamer cannot speak may represent the SUPEREGO guilt they feel about their...…has withstood the test of time. The first strength of Freuds theory is that it is based on a well-developed model of the mind (Van de Castle, 1994). Freud posited that the mind is divided into the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. The unconscious is the largest and most powerful part of the mind, and it includes all of our primal urges, dark desires, and repressed memories.
The second strength of Freuds theory is that it takes into account the symbolic meaning of dream elements. Dreams are often far from literal; rather, they are symbolic expressions of our innermost desires and fears. This means the dream is literally revealing something about the self to the dreamer.
The third strength of Freuds theory is that it explains why we have certain types of dreams. For example, Freud believed that dreams of flying represented our desire for freedom, while dreams of being chased represented our fear of being caught or punished for our sins. Overall, Freudian dream analysis is the most…

Dreaming is just one of the natural phenomenons that human beings do during the process of sleeping. Indeed, this natural process is not constrained to any particular characteristic and people with cultural diversity, all age groups and different social backgrounds dream throughout their entire lives. Since dreaming is linked to the mind and soul, thus it is considered that people will continue to dream until they are living (Hobson 2004). Dreaming
Dreams -- Are They Psychologically Significant psychologically insignificant, or something in between? The phenomenon of dreaming during sleep has long been a topic of interest to those interested in understanding the human mind. On one hand, there may be reason to believe that dream content and visual imagery in dreams provide clues to the unconscious mind as famously postulated by the psychological theorist who introduced the psychodynamic approach to understanding human psychology.
Dreams and Delusions: The Drama of German History Fritz Stern's 1988 book Dreams and Delusions: The Drama of German History (republished with a new forward in 1999), relies on a series of loosely-related essays in order to deal with Germany's ongoing legacy of World War II and the Holocaust. The book was chosen because of its particular subject matter and methodological approach, because its series of essays makes for a more

Dream Job My dream job is to be a personal financial advisor. This position is appealing because it is well-compensated, provides a useful service to the public, and because it is an in-demand job. The fact that the job is also independent is another significant attribute of the personal financial advisor position. Becoming a personal financial advisor requires a lot of different educational and training experiences, including getting a college degree,
Dreams Mental illness impacts all areas of a person's life, from social interactions to self-perception, from cognitive functioning to spiritual belief systems. Dreams are no exception. Every person spends a good deal of time in the dreaming state, whether or not dreams are recalled or valued upon awakening. A person's sleep state is impacted by a number of factors ranging from the biological to the emotional. When mental illness affects a
