Dreams & Latent Content

I had a dream that I was thrown into the air by Jason Voorhees. So I looked up the meaning to fly in a dream and one site said that it could be a sign of doubt in reaching a goal if I had trouble gaining elevation. Another sight mentions that I now have a sense of freedom compared to a time before.

About two weeks ago, I had a dream that I broke into someone's house and stole a bunch of stuff, then being arrested for it. I looked up being arrested in a dream dictionary. It stated that dreaming of being arrested showed either issues with self control or deep down guilt.

Last summer I had a dream about an ex girlfriend but I don't remember what happened. So I tried to look up the meaning of seeing a previous significant other in a dream. The site says that it could mean you still miss them or you are in need of closure to the love story.

Bullying and Harassment

     I think that no matter how much people preach and threaten about bullying and harassment, it will still happen. I've picked on and been picked on so I know how it feels. Ever since I moved from Shawano, I became more of the quiet kid so I didn't know anyone to pick on or be picked on by.

     Unless you are joking with your friends and both people are truly laughing, not faking the laughs, then it is unacceptable. In Shawano, people got picked on and nothing was done because the bullies got all of their friends to go along with the story of, "They started it!"

     I'm not going to get involved in anything that goes on here unless it has something to do with my friends. I will continue to be a bystander, not because it's not my business, but because I'm not going to stick up for people who won't stick up for me.

Twilight Zone reaction and beauty

      The Twilight Zone was really creepy, the faces of the people were really deformed but apparently it was the norm so people thought the deformed faces were beauty and the normal face to our world was ugly. I expected that when the bandages were removed, there would be this hideous messed up face. I was obviously wrong. When all of the nurses and doctors showed up with the screwed up faces, that's what I thought was the weirdest.

      I think the saying "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" is 100% true. When thinking of beauty, some people say it's what's on the inside, but we all know that's entirely not true. If you were at a party and someone is in your eyes attractive, you're more likely to talk to them versus some one with maybe a disability or just ugly.

      Someone in my eyes is something I don't think is really possible to explain. They are just attractive. I think alot of people may be this way. Even though they say "She's got an incredible body!" they may not be attracted to her. 

Ink Blot

I think my ink blot looks like a Fox racing symbol.

Role play

      I was picked to be an "over-achiever" which is the opposite of what I am normally like. When being the over-achiever, I felt like i was more friendly and was treated a little bit better. For example, when the teacher gave Derick a piece of candy, I asked for a piece and she gave me one. If the "bullied kid" or "loser" would have asked, I don't think they would have gotten a piece.
      When I first got the role over-achiever, for me i thought i would never be able to do it. But, when I learned how to act, I started doing homework for the first time in a while. Like the Stanford prison study, I started taking on the role for real instead of pretending.
      In the prison study, the reaction of the inmates surprised me the most because of how much they obeyed the guards. I thought typical college graduates would think of it more like a joke. I didn't realize how much they would be torn down by the torture they went through. At first, the inmates would laugh and joke about the situation. But by the third day of the experiment, they were fully into their roles as prisoners.
