Dreaming

 "Dreams are a way of acting out one's secret desired." - Sigmund Freud 

Recently, we read Book 19 in the Odyssey. There was a particularly significant passage that we were to re-evaluate and search for the latent meaning.We each developed our own interpretation on what we felt Penelope's dream truly meant. We searched for the meaning behind the dream. Sigmund Freud was the pioneer of psychology. He believed every dream had a surface and a deeper meaning. This makes you question all the dreams of your past. As children we are given that simpler definition of what a dream really is; something that your imagination creates while you're asleep. From the works of Freud, we now evaluate ourselves in relation to our dreams. Our dreams reveal our inner most thoughts in a lively perspective. I'd like to think that they are thoughts that we hate to admit to ourselves. Things we think, but don't want to admit that we want them to happen. They are feelings that we have subconsciously. They also us to imagine, create, and full fill our deepest desires without revealing to the public what we secretly want. Dreams also allow us to differentiate what we want from what we think we want. It's nature's way of weighing the pros and cons.
