What are the Materials of a Dream?Īccording to Freud (1900), sources of dreams include stimuli from the external world, subjective experiences, organic stimuli within the body, and mental activities during sleep (p. In this article, we refer to the self-organization theory of dreaming and seek to elucidate its meaning for dream interpretation. His theory of dreams mainly refers to two key points: (a) what are the materials of a dream? and (b) how do these materials work together? The answers to these questions are closely related to an understanding of dream interpretation. This theory also implies that dreams are not independently functional but rather a coproduct of the sleeping brain, reflecting the dreamer's physiological and psychological activities such as memory consolidation, emotion regulation, and reception of external stimuli ( Zhang, 2016).īy contrast, Freud regarded dreams as a royal road to the unconscious dream interpretation has thus been an important psychoanalytic technique. The self-organization theory of dreaming proposes that the sleeping brain is a self-organizing system that can combine discontinuous and incongruous neuronal signals (i.e., different elements of dreams) into a relatively continuous narrative during sleep ( Kahn and Hobson, 1993 Kahn et al., 2000, 2002). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So the stub timeline branched off from the main timeline in the early- to mid-2020s, or even earlier depending on when The Peripheral's Research Institute made its earliest incursion into the past. As Grace tells Flynne in The Peripheral season 1, episode 5, "What About Bob?", the Research Institute set up its shell defense contractors early enough to install futuristic haptic technology in soldiers' bodies by 2028. ![]() However, from what's been shown in the first six episodes, it must have been earlier than 2028. ![]() The Peripheral season 1 has yet to divulge when the Research Institute of 2100 first alters Flynne, Burton, and Conner's timeline. Related: The Peripheral Is Avoiding The Problem That Killed Westworld The 2020s or Earlier - Birth of the Stub Timeline Here's The Peripheral's full timeline explained. This book entered my life when I was at the gym riding a stationary bicycle (technically a unicycle), pretending I was being pursued by a horde of hungry zombies, and listening to a CBC Ideas podcast in which Nahlah Ayed interviews Andrew Potter for an update on his book, On Decline. The Research Institute of the future refers to the branching timelines as " stubs," and the show's earlier 2032 setting is actually in one such stub. Thus, while their own timeline stays intact, The Peripheral's future-era characters can toy with the past and never worry about affecting their own reality. The Peripheral avoids the causation paradoxes that plague many time travel stories by specifying early on that communications from the future to the past create branching alternate timelines. ![]() ![]() But if your real sister once secretly sabotaged a romantic rival’s “Story of the Amazing Human Brain” middle school science fair project, you have no right to use that. Of course you can write about sisters, imagined sisters. If you use people in your circle-family members, friends, friends of friends, whoever has let you into their lives and been let into yours-in such a way that they are easily recognizable to themselves, to others, then you’ve invaded their privacy. ![]() If you Google “basing fictional characters on real people,” you’ll get a lot of advice about avoiding lawsuits, but legal issues are not the point. Scott Fitzgerald famously bragged that no matter their sex, age, social standing, “All my characters are Scott Fitzgeralds.” I’ve always admired that claim and hoped it was true of my own fictional characters. A much better question: “Where do you get your characters?”į. Chasing down and making use of ideas is a messy process. ![]() Plots, themes, settings for stories and novels can arrive all at once (so I’ve heard), but mostly they’re lobbed over the transom at any time of day or night in discrete packets of varying size and worth, and we piece them together as we stare for hours at blank pages or screens. ![]() ![]() The subconscious is in charge of all that, and the subconscious, for all its wonders, is hardly an organizing genius. “Where do you get your ideas?” Writers sigh when asked this because we are clueless. ![]() ![]() ![]() One Hundred Poems of Tukaram is a translation of selected poems of this visionary poet who makes his reader see every aspect of life in a new light, enabling them to rethink the whole world in more positive terms.

In the aftermath of the violence, the town was left with a sense of fragility, a loss of innocence. But sixteen years ago, a series of brutal murders shattered the peaceful farming community.

And, of course, you still have the diverse, interesting and complex characters that you can’t help but root for. Like the previous novella in the series, Skinshaper is fast-paced and exciting. They enter the mine to search for survivors and confront and destroy these creatures, but they find themselves facing an ancient and far more horrific monster. They find out that the town was attacked by hideous creatures that are now hiding in the mine. Mireia can sense the evil and her visions lead them to a mining town that is seemingly empty save for a woman in a cage. Ferran, Mireia and Riffolk have been traveling to find and destroy the Ruins or creatures of the dark. Skinshaper picks up a couple of months after the events in Rend the Dark. I thought this was a pretty good follow-up to Rend the Dark. But to save a few, they must journey deeper into the heart of the nightmare to face an ancient foe.Īdd this book on Goodreads.

Today I’m stoked to feature Skinshaper, the second novella in the Rend the Dark series.

So, is there a debt owed by Disney to the Bard? Yet dynastic struggles of this kind are hardly rare in fiction. Significant narrative parallels are more evident there: a king betrayed by a wicked brother a young prince visited by the ghost of his father a violent confrontation of truth, vengeance, and succession in the finale. ![]() But a more oft-discussed, less accusatory claim is that The Lion King is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. There’s the still lingering charge that it stole from Osamu Tezuka’s Kimba the White Lion, a subject for another day for now, suffice to say while similarities exist, so do massive differences, particularly in the plot. The Lion King has no stories so life-threatening attached to it, but it has attracted its share of rumors and urban myths since 1994. There’s no hanging man in the background of The Wizard of Oz, no one died in the chariot race of Ben-Hur, but Apocalypse Nowreally was plagued with typhoon-ravaging sets, Martin Sheen’s heart attack, and Marlon Brando’s mercurial attitude. Big movies – really big movies, cultural phenomena that serve as markers for entire decades – can attract legends around them, with varying degrees of truth. ![]() |
