I interviewed KImberley Willingham and she is a teacher here at Hinsdale Central. She has a background with pyschology. She is a reliable source because she once studied all of this information. I interviewed her over back and forth emailing.

Do specific environments within dreams symbolize something?

 

Do specific environments in dreams symbolize anything, they could but you would have to read a dream interpretation book

 

Why do people only remember the dreams in the last five minutes of sleeping?

 

 I don’t know why people only remember the last 5 minutes of dreams and I do know that people dream every night whether they remember the dream or not.

 

 

Why do we remember certain dreams but not others?

"What Do Animals Represent in Dreams?"
by Margaret Jarvinen

Animals in dreams represent our basic instincts or our innate survival mode

Animals in our dreams represent our own individual pattern of behaviour or our unconscious belief of how we behave when under stress.

Possible examples could be loss of income, relationship, home. More subtly, feeling insecure about a situation, for example, starting a new job or facing a fear.

To gain insights as to what the animal is representing describe its characteristics in three words.

Dreams with animals symbolise unconscious beliefs that are deeply buried and these unconscious beliefs most likely would never be revealed to you in your waking life

Ask yourself, what can I learn about me from this animal energy?

colors in dreams(blog post 5)

Parkers' Complete Book Of Dreams By Julia and Derek Parker.
Chapter: "Colors"

• Not everyone dreams in color.
• People who are technicolor in their dreams are normally more color concious during the day.
• Those who are less aware of color during the day dream in monochrome.
• Colors in dreams normally symbolize something
• Red expresses anger. It symbolizes that you hould be more energetic in waking life.
• Yellow&Orange is a positive, happy color, pursuing you to strive for what you want. 
• Blue represents feelings. Dark blue being depressed lacking romance, light blue meaning excited.
• Green shows that you want to be intune with the environment and relationships with others.
• Black should be taken seriously because it generally means something bad is happening in the waking life.
• White is the prominent color for happiness and responsibility in dreams.
• Purple is used to show majestic beings or royalty.

In this chapter of the book, Parker's explains the meaning of colors within the dreams of humans. One example is when they say that "when color emerges strongly in a dream it is important to consider it as a seperate symbol." Another reason is when the authors go into detail about each colors significance in a dream. Finally the auther explains that people who are color concious in waking life dream in technicolor, and those who dream in monochrome are not very aware of colors in the natural life. These ideas are similiar to myself because I dream in technicolor because I love to see bring colors throughout the day.

• When you are dreaming, inside of you it seems as though it's real life, you can feel, taste, see, hear, smell everything the same way as if you were awake.
• Being chased is one of the most common forms of nightmares.
• 3,000 years ago, Egyptians compiled a "Dream Book" where they wrote about the boundries of this lfie and the next life were very thin.
• Dreams are usually what someone is hoping for in the future.
• Having nightmares is our body's way to try to overcome the internal fear.
• Psychological theories are based on the idea that dreaming allows us to sort through problems, events of the day or things that are requiring a lot of our attention
• There are 5 stages of sleep and during the third and fourth stages of sleep we begin to fall into REM sleeping(rapid eye movement). This is when dreaming occurs.

Lucid Dreaming Revisited

• lucid dream references date back at least to Aristotle, and the Dutch psychiatrist Frederik van Eeden coined the term lucid dreaming almost 80 years ago.
• modern surveys indicate that most adults can recall at least one lucid dream and that roughly one person in ten has such dreams regularly, once a month or more
• at that time, many sleep researchers believed lucid dreams to be simply delusions occurring during brief arousals from sleep.
• lucid dreams occur during a phase of sleep marked by rapid eye movement, commonly called REM sleep, when ordinary dreams occur.
• dream activities--including singing, counting numbers, and sex--evoke much the same neural and physiological responses as corresponding experiences do in real life
• studies have shown that most dreams occur at the tail end of a good eight- or nine-hour stretch of sleep
• many people interested in dreams have "what may unkindly be called superstitious beliefs
• lucid dreams could have therapeutic value
• searching for drugs that might increase the intensity of dreams and thereby the likelihood of lucidity
• dreaming is the basic function of the brain in understanding the world

what are things we can do to change the outcomes of our dreams?
is there a way to improve the rememberance of our dreams?

• The field of psychology has a number of subdisciplines devoted to the study of the different levels and contexts of human thought and behavior.
• Social physocology deals with human thought and actions through a social context.
• Physocological physocology deals with thoguth and behaivor at the level of nueorology.
• Comparitive physocology compares thoughts and behaivors of humans and that of other species.
• Psychology is an interdisciplinary science.
• In general the methods range from simple observation to rigorous experimentation in the study of physocology.
• Through the use of statistics the experimenter is able to test for the extent to which results of an experiment could have occurred by chance.
• Some physiological psychologists are concerned with mapping the functions of various parts of the brain.
•  Physiological psychologists study the effects of drugs on human behavior.
• The effects of drugs and tobacco on animals are observed to determine the effects these substances have on humans.

question: How can drugs affect how a physciatrist looks at their patient?
             Whats kinds of test to the run on animals to avoid harming them?

what are dreams?

What are some things that can what a person dreams about?
How can someone determine a person's personality by their dreams?
What makes people remember their dreams?
Does certain music effect what a person's dreams are about?
Do drugs affect dreams?

What I already know about dreams:
        Dreams are a series of thoughts, images, and sensations, occurring in a person's mind during the time of sleep.
        Dreams can be about positive things or negative things.
        Generally people have multiple dreams throughout one period of sleep; the human mind normally forgets most of the dreams that the person has had. And only re4member the ones that occurred moments before they woke up.
