Ardy Lang believes "As men of the world, we hardly know of the existence of the inner world; we barley remember our dreams, and make little sense of them when we do;" Ardy Lang argues that dreams mean something, and one reason people dont know the very meaning of themselves is because we dont remember our dreams and we dont ever stop to think what do our dreams really mean.

I agree somewhat with Ardy Langs arguemnt. Because what difference will making sence of my dreams have on my life? Not only that, people dont have control over their dreams. I cant control what i dream about, when i dream, and if i have a lucid dream or not. Its hard to remember ever detail of our dreams.

my personal experience related to ardy langs argument

Something ive notcied is ever since we started talking about dreams in class, i have been remembering my dreams more often. Is crazy because I am dreaming again, when i stopped for a while. Also i am writing my dreams down and trying to understand what they really mean. I love having dreams because my dreams at least to me, mean something and i have fun in my dreams. The other night i had a dream i was swinging from tree to tree with some sort of animal. I cant do that in my everyday life, and it was fun.

I have to write in my dream journal right after i wake up, or in the middle of the night because i easily forget my dream and the details in my dreams. Often i have more than one dream in one night. Also my dreams to me play like a movie, but they never have a begenning. My dreams always begin in the middle but never have an ending. My dreams are like the middle of a movie, and i often dont see what happens in the end of my dream, it cuts off. This reminds me of the music video we watched in class. Where the man was lying of the street and eveyone was sourounding him and wanted to know why he was lying down. He responded by telling the people "You dont want to know why im lying here" the crowd grew larger and they aked him if he was lying there because there was no point in living and he responded no. When the man told the people why he was lying there we couldnt hear what he was saying, soon the whole crown was lying on the floor. This is similar to my dreams because there are so many dreams where i never see the end, and i want to see the outcome of my dream but never do.

In class we were talking about imagination and dreams. Everybody has daydreams when your sitting in class while your mind drifts away and your thoughts take over you. This happenes to me all the time, I'm in my own little world a lot of the time. I think that dreaming and your imagination are similar, but not the same. You have control over your imagination and your thoughts in class. But you have no control over your dreams. I think dreams are more meaningful than your imagination, because dreams are the root of your inner most desires. Dreams are the root of you, and dreams ofter reveal a lot about a person and thier thoughts. People try to hide their feelings and emotions while awake, but when dreaming you can see how you really feel and what you really want. People choose to not pay attention to dreams because they think they mean nothing. After reading Fromm, and the Ardy Lang articles i am paying more attention to my dreams, also i am having dreams more often which i like.

My beliefe about dreams is that dreams show your inner, deepest most desires. I think dreams are all about what you want.

This matters because what you want in life is important, and important in your life.
