Dream
Interpretation
Ashley
Fredericson & Beth Boscardin
The Native Americans believed they were
hidden wishes of the soul. The Greeks, Egyptians, and Babylonians believed
they were the gods revealing themselves to the people. These godly and spiritual
gifts are a very common thing in the average persons day. They just happen
to be dreams.
Every night we,
or most people, go to sleep. We try to set aside our day's troubles and calm
down for the few hours we have before the next day. Dreams can become
the stage where we work out our emotional toils of the day.
The history of
dream interpretation dates back to 3000-4000 B.C. They were recorded on clay
tablets, by primal societies who were unable to distinguish between the dream
world and reality.
In the 1800's
dreams were thought of signs as anxiety or indigestion. When Sigmund Freud came
about in the 1900's and revolutionized dream theory basing it in the
unconscious of the mind.
If you feel yourself having reoccurring or confusing dreams, dream
journals are a great way to record them. "I really have weird dreams, and
it's neat to have them all written down, it's a fun hobby." Said Junior
Christine Stormberg about her dream journal.
