"Dreams & Latent Content"

My first dream is a reoccurring dream from when I was a child. In the dream I am running from a huge bolder. The bolder is rolling around in circles. We are in a race track type thing. Just before it is about to crush me I wake up. Another thing I noticed about this dream is in the stand watching me is a whole crowd of people telling me to run.  
   ~When I used the website, dream moods, it said that me running from some one in a dream indicates, I'm trying to avoid some kind of issue or that I am not taking responsibilities for my actions. On the other hand, in my case, it says if i am running from danger or harm, then I'm not facing or "confronting" my fears. So maybe I need to start getting over any fears I have and see if the dream goes away. In doing this, I will try to get over my stage fright at this up coming solo ensemble.~


Another dream I had, only once, took place in the summer time. I was about to leave to go to a friends house and my parents stopped me and said that I am grounded for lying to them. In the I was distraught. I cried all night, then woke up in the morning and had to make sure it wasn't real.
  ~To find my latent content of this dream I used dream moods again. The website said that if  I dream about punishment, I feel guilt or pain about my actions. It says I may need to try and forgive myself. I am not sure what I was feeling guilty about but i must have gotten over it because it never reoccurred.~

My third dream is recent. This dream started out at a house that I have never seen before, but it was mine in the dream. My mom was sitting in a recliner and she was telling me what to do, like make her stuff to eat and random chores. My boyfriend was there and then suddenly, there was a knock at the door and my boy friend got arrested very brutally. I watched the cop car drive off, then later on in the dream I went to the police station and asked why he was arrested and they never gave me a reason so, I talked to my boyfriend and was really mad at him. I told him he was lucky my mom didn't see any of that. Then I woke up.
  ~I used dream mood again for this dream. Dream mood said that if I see police men in my dream that it symbolizes structure, power and authority. It says that i need to put an end to my reckless behavior, or the law will catch up with me. So, if I am doing anything reckless in the future I will probably think about this and decide differently on my choice.~

Reflection on Bullying

    http://bullyinglte.wordpress.com/

In this article a women tells her story about how long she was bullied about and how it affected her in the long run. She say that she has a drinking problem adn gains a lot of weight late on in life and she even has to go to a theropist! She obviously was long term affected by the bullying she recived when she was young. She says in the article that she was always clean and well dressed so i dont understand why she was bullied. i really think theses girls had nothing better to do in their time and i also think they may have been a little jealous of her. It is amazing how much this affected her. She wrote a book about it!! That really shows you how much it can affect someone, words that is.

Bullying at KHS is not seen much by me. I do belive it happens, propbably a lot more than i think it does. i guess i just kind of stay out of all that stuff. If i did see it going on, i dont really know what i would do. I would propbably talk to my mom about it and get her advice. KHS is so far good in my eyes. Mr. Verboomen does his very best with his job and trying to keep bullying not an issue at KHS. I really think the bullying happens online. That is where i see it most of the time. I never can really stand up for someone online though and im not sure why. You think it would be easier. KHS is a really great school and so far so good. :)

"Little Albert" Study

1. Yes, the results of Watson and Rayner's experiment support their hypothesis. Watson predicted that an emotionally exciting object, or in this case sound, stimulates the subject simultaneously with an object (the bunny, rats, and mask) not emotionally exciting, the latter object may in time arouse or excite the same emotional reactions the former object, and in heir results Abert, a 9 month old baby, in deed did evantually connect the loud sound with the rabbit, dog, rats, and mask. Evantually Albert was scared of those objects alone without the sound. 2. Alberts response became generalized because he was not only scared of the rabbit, rat, and the dog but became excited and fearful of a fur coat. 3. The principles of classical copnditioning conditioning used to reduce Peter's fear of rabbits were, they connected the object he feared with somthing pleasurable, like a bowl of ice cream instead of the other way around. They called it. Counter-conditioning.
