-Manifest Content: the remembered storyline of a dream
-Latent Content: the underlying meaning of a dream
Why Do We Dream?
-Freud's Wish-Fulfillment Theory
- dreams are the key to understanding our inner conflicts
- ideas and thoughts that are hidden in our unconscious
- manifest and latent content
-Information-Processing Theory
- dreams act to sort out and understand the memories that you experience that day
- REM sleep does increase after stressful events
-Activation-Synthesis Theory
- during the night our brainstem releases random neural activity, dreams may be a way to make sense of that activity
I believe Freud's Wish Fulfillment Theory, in which he says dreams are the key to understanding our inner conflicts, I've often had dreams which have given me insight, and a somewhat clearer picture to problems I faced.
ReplyDeleteHello Antonette! First off, your blog is very creative! Especially your cursor. Although your notes are straight to the point, I think that it'd be nice to have some visuals to give a clearer insight of these terms.
ReplyDeleteDreams are very special to me. Whenever I can engender them, that is.
