A dream is a series of occurrences, especially thoughts, different images and particular sensations that appear in the mind of a person when he is asleep. This scenario occurs to every person at particular intervals. It happens to people irrespective of their age. The events grasped in most cases do not occur in reality.
I am a victim of dreams that tend to portray a picture that excites individuals who listen. The dream appears to be a reality while in slumber, but in actual senses, it is just an imagination. My dream has roots that originate from the hierarchy of power. I once dreamt of being the most powerful man in our country. It occurred during the campaign when I seriously rallied and campaigned for the presidency in our country. I successfully managed to win the position with a convincing margin and declared myself a president. I had the powers and authority to rule the people of my country, the people who elected me to the excellency position. I managed to introduce various sections and ministries to be in charge of the nation’s affairs. The introduction was swift, and everything seemed to be better. The worst experience in the dream was when the opposition ganged together and wanted to overthrow me from the president’s seat. Suddenly, I heard a voice shouting my name it was my friend waking me up for school and immediately I woke up only to find myself on my bed. I felt bad, but I could not change the situation.
According to Freud, the manifest content is literal, depicted in the dream, whereas the latent content is the hidden meaning of a dream. In my dream, the manifest content is about the presidency position. The position I got hold of for a short period. The latent meaning is that at one particular point in life, I will be a successful man who is respected all over the world.
The purpose of the Activation information mode model is to relate the brain to the mind and conscience. The activation part shows the input source. Modulation tries to link the origin of the dreams. According to my dream, the activation is of the mind, which involves the brain in vigorous activity. The dream appeared due to the recent events that I watched on television and my aspirations. The part of modulation tends to link my manifest with latent meaning. Therefore, the origin is the advice and mental tunning towards a directed objective in life.
I will make my bling to try and induce lucid dreaming. The table below represents the poor man’s technique.
| Number of days | The number of times I ask whether I am sleeping or dreaming. |
| 1 | 6 |
| 2 | 4 |
| 3 | 7 |
| 4 | 5 |
| 5 | 8 |
Sometimes, inducing sleep will lead to dreaming. Therefore, I play soft music to help me with lucid dreaming. Sometimes, I will try to induce lucid dreaming, but I find myself sleeping till morning without dreaming. Sweet dreams accompany the induced sleep in most cases. The number of tries indicates the number of times I tend to sleep and dream about a particular dream.
In conclusion, dreams are just an imagination that would either signify something happening in the future or nothing will happen. In other words, only a few dreams turn out to be a reality.
