Hey everyone! I am required to write a paper on dreams for my general pychology class and survey 10 fine pillars of the community. Please choose and answer appropriately. List your age, gender, and ethnicity. If all y'all look alike, some of you may end up being 20 year old females. If you don't feel comfortable publicly posting, then please PM me. Thanks in advance and feel free to share your weird dreams!
Dream Survey
Using the following list of common dream themes, please place a check mark next to each one you have ever dreamed about.
____1. Falling
____2. Being attacked or pursued
____3. Trying repeatedly to do something
____4. School, teachers, studying
____5. Sexual experiences
____6. Arriving too late
____7. Eating
____8. Being frozen with fright
____9. Death of a loved person
___10. Being locked up
___11. Finding money
___12. Swimming
___13. Snakes
___14. Being dressed inappropriately
___15. Being smothered
___16. Being nude in public
___17. Fire
___18. Failing an examination
___19. Flying
___20. Seeing yourself as dead
1) Which one dream theme was most common (most frequently occurring in your dreams)?
2) the least common?
3) What are your thoughts on how people might differ on their responses according to age, gender, culture and so on.
Which dream perspective to you mostly agree on?
· The psychoanalytic view (the wish-fulfillment theory) says that dreams are disguised symbols of repressed desires. It has received little scientific support.
· The biological perspective (the activation-synthesis hypothesis) argues that dreams are simply unimportant by-products of random stimulation of brain cells.
· The cognitive view sees dreams as information processing; they help us
sort through everyday experiences, solve problems and think creatively.
