The world without free will
Based on the article on free will and the sub-conscious, do you believe that there is such a thing as free will or is free will a deception and non-existent?
Basically our brain is telling us what to do and we just believe we have a say but we don’t
.
Furthermore
, if free will really does not
exist, are criminals
in
general,
not liable for their
actions as the article suggests ?
What
are the ramifications of taking this new approach of no free will to our society? Slide24
Near Death experiences
After reading the
article and watching the video,
do you believe
in,
“the dying brain hypothesis,” that Death is an engine of hallucination or
are we
having real near-death experiences? Furthermore, do you agree with her that, “Although that doesn’t diminish the profound, life-changing
importance
of the event for many?”Slide25

So why do we dream? Theories
Wish Fulfillment: Sigmund Freud suggested that dreams provide a safety valve to discharge unconscious wants and desires. That way they don’t come out in our everyday lives
According to Freud there is a
manifest content
( remembered story-line) and a
latent content
or (underlying meaning of dreams)
Ex.
Manifest-
You
are running through an empty school.
Latent
- Why are you running through an empty school?Slide31
Information processing and organization
Dreams may help sift, sort, and fix the day’s experience in our memories for future use.
As your brain is organizing the info it may just dump the info it might find useless and irrelevant.
It is those pieces of random junk that many believe cause those crazy dreams. Slide32
Symbols in dreams
Information gathered from the Huffington Post
.Slide33
Water
Water frequently represents our emotions or our unconscious minds.
The
quality of the water (clear vs. cloudy; calm vs. turbulent) often provides insight into how effectively we are managing our emotionsSlide34
Being Chased
This
is one of the most commonly reported dreams.
Often
, the reason for these dreams comes not from the fear of actually being chased, but rather what we're running from
.
Chase dreams help us to understand that we may not be addressing something in our waking lives that requires our attention.Slide35
Death
Although death is often perceived as negative, it's often more directly related to dramatic change happening for the
dreamer.
the end of one thing, in order to make room for something new.Slide36
People
Seeing other people in your dream often is a reflection of the different aspects of the self.
The
people in dreams can relate to characteristics that need to be developed.
Specific
people directly relate to existing relationships or interpersonal issues we need to work through
.
Dreaming of a
significant other,
in particular, is frequently symbolic of an aspect of ourselves, from which we feel detached.Slide37
Food
Food symbolizes energy, knowledge or nourishment and is directly related to our intellect, emotions and spirituality.
Food
can also be a manifestation of idioms like, "food for thought," and reveal that we may be "hungry" for new information and insights
.Slide38
Falling
Not all falling dreams are scary and negative.
Some
dreamers report a type of slow falling that indicates serenity and the act of letting go.
Often
, falling uncontrollably from a great height indicates something in waking our life that feels very much out of control.Slide39
Flying
Just plain awesome!!Slide40
