It is incumbent that Tim O’Brien uses his own experience for inspiration of his novels, even though he claims the novels are fictional. In another lens of O’Brien’s literary style, according to Freud “the purpose of a dream is to reveal the suppressed feelings of the dreamer: Thoughts and desires that are not expressed when the dreamer is awake are likely to surface in his dream.” Furthermore, Freud explains that dreams become subconsciously present while the dreamer is awake “is a sort of substitution for those emotional and intellectual trains of thought” (Freud 7).

Another example from the story is when Danny has a recurring dream about a man coming to hurt him with a mallet (coincidence?). He dreamed of running down the halls as the “large dark shape, holding some sort of mallet, came for him, swinging it back and forth into the walls, saying ‘COME OUT HERE AND TAKE YOUR MEDICINE!’”. (King 291). This well supports the claim because the dark shape may be reminding Danny of his father, the night Jack got drunk and broke his arm for messing up his office. While his dad wasn’t a mallet wielding psychopath, the hotel may be trying to direct Danny’s dreams towards relating to that night in order to distance the Torrence's from each other.

He said that fear was spreading inside of him like weeds. He would see himself dead or be killing another human. He wanted the reader to put themselves in the position of being killed or ending another man's life, which almost everyone fears in some way, to help the reader relate and fear with him while they read. (42) Although these dreams are not used a lot, they clearly express the fear he felt before heading off to the

He is expressing that dreams are full of mistakes and misconceptions and that humans need to focus on reality and their surroundings, because reality is more fabulous. A biblical allusion is used when he alludes the way God lives to human life in “God himself culminates in the

Dreams have a very specific function in Himes’ stories as fantasies to keep the prisoner’s minds occupied. The dreams give the readers an insight into the minds of the characters that allows the readers to connect with characters they would otherwise

Society, for centuries, has revered poetry for its beauty, philosophy, and unique capability to reveal truth to the individual. One of the most prominent time periods that display society’s acclaim for poetry was within the Romantic period. Romanticism, according to the New World Encyclopedia, was “an artistic and intellectual movement that ran from the late eighteenth century through the nineteenth century. It stressed strong emotion as a source of aesthetic experience” (New World Encyclopedia, 2015). Romanticism glorified art, poetry, music, and nature.

This is not exactly what F. Scott Fitzgerald believed. Fitzgerald did believe in the possibility of the dream, but he also believed that people lost sight of what the dream is. Fitzgerald is attempting to show the

Anyway, both dreams seem to tie into things I am dealing with or thinking about in real life that have just grown way out of proportion in my thoughts. Allan Hobsons theory offers somewhat of a solution to why dreams we have may be so weird. Hobson argues that dreams are clumsy narratives stitched together by the forebrain to make sense of the activation of biochemical changes and erratic electric pulses originating in the brainstem. During sleep, our minds can’t precisely put everything together due to low serotonin levels. While In the real world our minds can piece different things

Mary Shelley used her vivid knowledge of dreams and depicted Frankenstein as being shameful and frustrated that he created a monster. Frankenstein’s emotions about the murders weigh on his conscious and emerge in his dreams. Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory gives insight into why people are the way they are and the decisions they make every day. He explains how the events people go through greatly affect how they run out in adulthood. Mary Shelley’s book paints a very vivid picture through a psychological aspect of Victor Frankenstein.

He believed dreams were a “natural product of the psyche”, that they did not need interpretation by the therapist as they portrayed the “true nature” of the unconscious. Dreams had a prospective and a compensatory purpose, i.e. it helped prepare for events to come and it tried to bring about a balance between the conscious and unconscious. Unlike Freud, Jung focused on where the dreams lead and not on where and when it had

Freud asserted that childhood is a time of intense erotic experience (class notes) and it is known that children will operate on Id traits, not necessary sexual in nature. Dreams are manifestations of the unconscious mind and in this case, Paul’s dream is driven by his unconscious desire to win the attention of his mother, “I never told you, mother, that if I can ride my horse...did I ever tell you? I am lucky!” (Lawrence, 9). Ultimately, it is the same desire that in actual fact prove to be his downfall in the end.

In this novel the Momary dreams are symbolic of Draper Doyle’s coming-of-age. In the beginning of the novel Draper is seen running away from Momary covering himself. However, by the end of the novel he faces her uncovered and even chooses to kiss her. This act illustrates just how much Draper has changed over the course of the novel. The once scared and repressed young boy is now shown facing something that he had feared.

In her childhood, the unnamed narrator has had a wild imagination which still haunts her: she admits "I do not sleep," and as a result she becomes restless.(653). Her imagination makes her live in an imagined world of her own and completely detached from reality. The
