Though there are those who say they do not, everybody dreams. This project is designed to help you become more aware of your dreams, how often you dream, and what (if anything) can you learn from your dreams. First, staple several sheets of loose-leaf paper together, around 10 should suffice (not pages ripped out of a spiral notebook). This is going to be your dream journal. You will be making entries in this journal as described below. Grades will be based on your ability to analyze your dreams and come up with your own dream theory. If you have any questions, please see me IN ADVANCE of the due date. Start recording your dreams by about the middle of October and continue until you have at least 4 to 5 dreams. PART I. Dream Journal Before falling asleep, DECIDE you are going to remember your dreams. Be patient; it may take a night or 2 for your unconscious to get the message. The most important thing to remember is that EVERYONE dreams and that once you believe you will remember them, you will! Keep the journal and a pen close to your bed and write down dreams you recall immediately, without interpretation. You may have more than one entry per night (everyone dreams between 4 and 6 times) of varying lengths (REM sleep gets longer, therefore, your dreams get longer later on in the night). What should you record? Basically everything, uncensored, as you remember them... do not worry about proper English for this part. To be more specific write down any or all of the following: dialogue or any words the number and types of people (friends, strangers, relatives) objects the mood of the dream (happy, sad, scary, etc.) themes events timing in the dream relations to the dream and you (are you an observer, participant, seeing yourself as player?) settingsIf it's too difficult to record a part of the dream in writing, sketch a picture. The journal may be handwritten. If there are any dream entries that you do not want read, please mark these "Personal" across the top of the pages. PART II. Psychodynamic analysis of your dreams. Once you have about 4-5 dreams in your journal, try to analyze them using the following questions as guides (but feel to create your own "questions" also). Are your dreams bizarre? Mundane? Were you able to control your dreams as you remembered more and more of them? Which dreams if any are most disturbing? Why? What do they mean to you? What was the manifest content, what was the latent content of each dream? Was the content of both journals identical on any days? What does this tell you? What common symbols or objects did you record? What do you think these symbols mean? What were the common threads, common ideas, common emotions running through the journal? How are your dreams relevant to your waking life? What seems to be the main function of your dreams? What did you learn about yourself after keeping a dream journal for a month. Do you agree with the activation synthesis theory of dreaming? Why or why not? Do you agree with the information processing model of dreaming? Why or why not? Do you agree with the cognitive theory of dreams? Why or why not? Do you agree with Freud's psychoanalytic explanation of dreams? Why or why not? You are to type your answers to Part II and include them in your final product. Do not just write sentences answering each question, rather take your time and flesh them out. Submit Parts I and II DIGITALLY! **Make the finished product aesthetically pleasing. Feel free to use colors and images.
