Dreams

Good night everyone! Today I'm going to talk about the dreams. What are they? There’s a lot to say about this. Although there’s no completely certain about what dreams are, many scholars had some very interesting ideas. For example, Freud believed that dreams are symbolic expressions of unconscious wishes, powerful and repressed. These wishes were expressed in disguised form because they harbored veiled desires, like a forbidden sexual desire for the parent of the opposite sex.

On the other hand, J. Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley believed that dreams are just nervous signs that come from the brainstem and stimulate cortical zones. These discharges would occur automatically each 90 minutes and hold the activation for 30 minutes; also they activate the anterior encephalon and association zones in the cortex, inciting memories and emotions.

We have two different points of view about what finally dreams are.

Even for some societies they are sort of predictions of the future. As I said before, actually there is no a completely certain about what they are, but we have some ideas.

I usually remember my dreams; they are very alive and colorful. I mostly have nightmares, but a very nice dream I had recently was being embraced with my very best friend, enjoying the nurture of it.  Besides my night dreams, I’ve been always a daydreamer! Dreams and aspirations are not a waste of time, they let us put golds in our life and fight for making them come true.

I honestly, cannot imagine myself with a lot of money or political power, these are not golds in my life, and they’ve never been, so I couldn’t say what I’d do with them. But I can tell you that my dream for the future is becoming in a great help for the children who has been severely damaged. They are our future; they need to be protected for better days in our society.
