Week 7 EC



The above video is based around the authors interpretation of dreams and his promotion of his website. He discusses both the psychological and spiritual qualities of both the conventional and unconventional methods of interpreting dreams. I believe that this is important for people to know because once people are able to understand their dreams, they will then have a better understanding of themselves and thus, a better sense of self.



The second video I chose is based on a true dream. A dream in which a woman known as Brandi Lynn Borgia envisions herself as a resident of a community in which a pedophile resides. Unfortunately for Brandi, the people of the town do not listen to her and shun the idea of a pedophile amongst them. I learned through this video that you can convey a great deal of emotion and purpose in a short film by presenting it as a dream. This may be so because it is easy for everyone to relate to a dream, considering that we all at some point have dreamt. I believe that others should watch this video to understand feelings of separation or a lack of understanding is typical in dreams and that through closer observation, theories of the meaning behind the dream may emerge.



The third and final video I chose encompasses the psychology of dream analysis. The video involves a woman who, through recurring dreams, see herself as a 30 year old man. The dreams scare her and she believes that she is dreaming the unknown man's dream, not one of her own mind. Eventually she meets the man in real life and since then, she begins to see herself in dreams again. This video looks deep into the psychology of dreams and seek to explain a rare case of a confusing dream that had taken control of her life. I learned through this video that dreams can become a larger part of ones life than most would assume. This video is beneficial to those whose lives have become entangled with the dream and their actual lives. I would argue that this video's approach is very different and in the same respect, a colorful way to tell the tale of a young woman.
