806 Words4 Pages

Abstract
This paper analysis a dream i had where i broke my foot. It is analyzed through the three views, psychoanalytic, biological, cognitive. The psychoanalytic view focuses on our internal motivations. The biological view focuses on how our brain is responsible for creating these dreams. The cognitive view explains our dreams through our experiences. Then i stated that the cognitive view best explains my dream.

Manifest Context
It was a cold day and the sky was filled with clouds. I woke up in the morning to go to school and it was about to rain. I ate breakfast, put on my clothes, picked my backpack, and went outside to begin a new day. It was windy outside which made the weather seem colder.
I arrived to school and …show more content…

These experiences form perception of our environment and of ourself. When we sleep, our past experiences are used to shape our dreams.
The Broken Bones dream relate to my everyday experience in many different ways.
The day before i had this dream my mom told me that my aunt broke her foot. I have never broken a bone before; so when i heard the news all i could think about was what if one day i broke a bone. Would it really hurt as much as they say it does? In addition, during the same week we were talking about bone injures, including breakages, fractures, and dislocations in First Aid/CPR. This is probably the reasons why i had the dream. All i heard during that week was about bones.
Conclusion
I mostly agree with the cognitive view because it is the one that makes most sense to me. If you think deeply about a certain topic, you are more likely to dream about it. These experiences i had shaped my idea about breaking bones negatively. My aunt breaking her foot and all the talk about bone injuries altered my point of view making me more afraid. In this case, my behaviors affected my thought process. The stimulus i received from the bone talk affected my response, dreaming. Psychoanalytic perspective is the one that makes least sense to me. I feel like it failed to analyze my dream. I am usually a happy person, but the Psychoanalytic perspective turned me into a sad depressed individual. I do not have conflicts in my life. In addition how is breaking my bone is my unconscious

  • Bone Fracture In Older Adults

    729 Words  | 3 Pages

    Research tells us that about 25% of older adults who suffer a fracture will have a second fracture within the next 5 years (Southerland, 1). We also know that half of older adults will require home health care within 6 months following a fracture, and many of those people will have long-term functional decline. With this in mind it is clear to see why fractures can be so devastating in the older adult population. Often times an older adult is hospitalized for a fracture, due to the fracture they remain immobile for several days to weeks and eventually become extremely ill from a secondary infection such as pneumonia. Fractures in children or young adults most commonly cause slim to none permanent decline and outcomes are mostly positive after several months of recover.

  • Lucid Dreaming Effects

    926 Words  | 4 Pages

    A lucid dreamer is one of the few that gets to taste freedom through impossible actions and vivid perceptions in their dreams. Through meta-awareness and self-consciousness, one can tap into their mental state and recall that they are dreaming because of a bizarre object or action that helped them become aware. Likewise, Lucid dreaming differs from regular dreams, in which both lucid and nonlucid dreams occur during REM sleep, however, lucid dreams also activate the prefrontal cortex and forebrain sections, which trigger self-awareness and memory (Neider et al., 2011). Moreover, the possible influences that are associated with lucid dreaming include emotions, perception of the world, imagination, and their openness to experience (Schredl & Erlacher, 2004 & Gackenbach, 2006). Researchers found that children tend to lucid dream more often than adults through tests conducted using expressive arts (Armstrong-Hickey, 1988).
