Contrasting Metaphors part 4 of Homework

In Class Freewrite

Are you dreaming or are you in reality? Where is your spirit when your sleeping? Several places combined into one familiar dream place that you have never been to in reality. Ever drove somewhere and all of a sudden your there and you don't even remember driving because you were dreaming? Can you dream while your awake? Why do nightmares have positive meanings? How do dreams feel so real, how do you smell and taste and hear? Dreams about death, dreams that you are dead. Dreams of people who died. Dreams of teeth falling out. They conceal words. Are you in control? Can you move? Are your dreams beautifully boring? Are you surrounded by nothing or everything? Lucid dreaming. Theres a fucking witch on your chest. Are you falling? Mental disorder. Remember details from dreams log them...

Metaphors Part 3 of Homework

Response to class comments

I plan on researching dreams more, and thinking more about visual metaphors for dreams. Since it is such a broad topic, I have had a hard time thinking of ways to represent this visually. I plan on checking out more books and movies about dreams to see how they are represented. I also plan on trying to divide my topic into several subtopics to make it less broad and more focused.
