foundation that is strong and pure. At the end of Meditations I, Descartes comes to the conclusion that knowledge cannot be gained through the senses and we cannot even trust our minds. Meditations I is not written like…
I’d have to say yes. Throughout the year, I have been reading articles and watching videos of people achieving their dreams. Even though few dreams come true, it’s always worth the struggle. Not only because it teaches people their path in life and that it makes progress, but also because almost anything is achievable, if one tries hard enough. My first reason for believing dreams matter is that dreaming forms one’s path in life. Obviously, not everything is possible. Such as how it’s not…
Introduction Carl Jung was a supporter of Freud mainly because of their shared interest in the unconscious. To many psychologists, Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung defined the world of psychology. Though differing, their theories had a great impact on our perception of the human mind. Their contributions to practice and theory have led to the growth of successful psychological treatments for the broad range of human distress. However, their paths were not so different from the beginning. But the…

The bitterness grew even deeper with each of them after Joseph had told them that God had given him a dream; Joseph’s whole family was to bow down to him. This infuriated his brothers.

Some people think dreams happen because we are recalling events that occurred earlier in the day, or maybe because we are able to have visions from the future, but do we really know their main origin? Aristotle once defined dreams as a perceptionless state where our senses of our outside stimulus are shut…
asked themselves throughout their existence is why do dreams happen and do they mean anything? The Mesopotamians believed that dreams were messages from the gods about the future, and the Egyptians believed the same. Aristotle, a famous Greek philosopher, thought that dreams are the purest form of wisdom, and that they can be used to predict the future. Another Greek philosopher named Hippocrates was one of the first people to believe that dreams indicated a person’s mental and physical health.…
