Dreams (Evelin)

Dreams

             Dreams are a series of thoughts, images, sounds/voices, and sensations occurring in a person’s mind during sleep. Some dreams can be very scary and that’s when they call them nightmares. Nightmares are those dreams where you feel like your falling in a really dark black hole its scary and when you have those types of dreams you sometimes wake up from that bad dream. But there are dreams that are really funny or sometimes turn into a love story, and that’s when you don’t want to wake up because you’re like in a fairytale: it’s all perfect and it all seems so realistic. Some people think that dreams can tell past, present, or future events. Sometimes they can affect your life in particular. Before your dreams can come true, you have to have those dreams. I think that dreams can effect real life because sometimes some people can dream of lots of sneaks, and I think that sneaks mean that someone is going to died, and next thing it’ll happen. That’s why there are dream books so when people have really bad dreams or you could read what the dream meant and so you could know if its something bad, most of the times it is. So far, right now my dreams haven’t affected my life or me. Sometimes I really don’t dream anything or perhaps it is that I don’t remember my dreams.

Napoleon Vs. Hitler (Jesus)

I chose the one about Napoleon being compared to Adolf Hitler. The comparisons are numerous. 

It starts with the fact that people were wanting to revolt against their higher powers and make a change for themselves, 

Napoléon and snowball were a lot like Hitler and Stalin in the sense that they were both greatly supported by the people 

and that in reality as well as in the book they weren’t very fond of each other. According to the “studyworld.com”

 website “Although Hitler and Stalin hated each other, the two leaders were similar in many ways. Hitler and Stalin 

each rose to the highest position attainable in their respective countries, and there were three main reasons that

 they were able to do this. Both men were skilled users of propaganda, each was amoral, and they both had the 

ambition to make their countries powerful in the world. Since each was a skilled user of propaganda, they could use

 their words to twist and manipulate the minds of people into believing that what they were saying was the absolute truth.

 Using this power, they would get people to do anything for them, which proves their amorality.” I couldn’t have put it any 

better myself, that’s exactly how snowball and Napoleon were in the fact that they both hated each other and were both 

greatly looked upon as great leaders. They might not have been leading such great things but nonetheless they were great leaders. 

According to the “schoolhistory.org” website “From having little or no say in the national picture in the 'Golden years' the Nazi’s rose 

rapidly to become the dominant force in the elections of 1932: although they won no overall majority in these elections. 

By 1933, Hitler was viewed by many as the only man who could halt the rapid slide towards an economic and political shambles.” 

Just like after the animals overtook animal farm the word of their revolution spread out and people were beginning to take notice.

No Rules or Law (Jesus)

 I decided to go with number four, “What would life be like without any enforced rules or laws”. I honestly don’t even know where to begin with this one, I think without laws we would all be living in constant fear of each other and the rest of the world. The smartest, strongest, and or most powerful person or group of people would eventually work their way up and take over and be in complete control of everything. I think certain laws are important to have and they’re here to protect us, although not everyone may agree with the way things are. Certain laws are put in place to keep us safe and even healthy. For example imagine if the government didn’t make restaurants or food places keep their kitchens or food storage areas and we would all be running around with food poisoning or other even worse we might eat something that could give us some other kind of diseases. The world would be completely out of control and there would so many people dead, or in the hospital, not to mention how the business world would be. No businesses would be making any money because they’d all be getting robbed and their employees would probably get killed and even worse the ones responsible for the robberies and murders would never get caught or get in trouble, they would get off free. To conclude this blogm the world would be a crazy messed up place without any laws.

Illusions (Jesus)

I think the extent to which you can believe your own eyes is up to you. Because sometimes the eye will see what the mind wants it to see. It kind of ties into the whole dream thing, because illusions are kind of a form of daydreaming, which is also technically considered a type of dreaming. Illusion is seeing people or things that aren’t there or even imagining a situation that doesn’t really happen or to put it into simpler terms, seeing the unseen. I think in it’s own way it is important because sometimes people might just need to get away from the real life, even though the things they see might not be real. In my personal opinion without imagination we wouldn’t be half as far as we are when it comes to technology, houses and everything we have as humans.

Dreams (Jesus)

I think it kind of depends on what kind of dreams your talking about, if you mean the kind of dreams like what you would like to be when you grow up or something that you would like to happen someday. Those represent something you would probably give anything to have happen. They can affect reality in a great way, because some people will spend their entire life and put in a lot of time and sometimes money trying to reach their dreams, and not every case is successful. That kind of dream has not really affected me before, except that when I tell people I want to be a therapist none of them believe me and some even laugh. The other dream is something else. They represent a sort of movie kind of thing you see when you sleep. I have heard that dreams are the things that you most want to happen,  (obviously they have never had a nightmare before). It can also affect reality too because some people obsess over certain dreams they have and sometimes people have reoccurring dreams and they have to see specialists to help them with the meaning. They haven.t had much affect on me except for the occasional scary dream every once in a while.
