… “Why I don’t remember my dream?”… Part 1

Dreams are mysterious. Some of us will remember dreams very clearly on what’s the dream is all about and who’s involve. Some others might remember dreams occasionally and; the rest portion of us might question why we hardly remember dreams at all even it was last night. As you may know, the ability to remember dreams is different from an individual to another.

First of all, you might want to know why we “dream”. Many of our “oldies” psychologists can’t even fact it out. Out of several psychologists, there is one named Freud, believed that dream represent a follow up on previous activities. They have been inside of every one of us since we’re a child. From his studies, hidden desire drives us to dream. Jung, another psychologist interpreted dream as means. His studies carried out dreams as symbols to life. Throughout all different parts about “dreams”, I had considered to pull out more Jung’s theory as I found that it is more meaningful and I will also added up some others thoughts from my fieldworks.

… “Why I don’t remember my dream?”… some of us might concern about this and was wondering whether our memory or RAM is getting minimize each day when we become more mature. As facts, dreams are remembered only if you wake up during, or just at the end of, a dream. But, if you just turn over and fall asleep again, you’re more likely not to remember any thing in the next morning. The most important reason why some people don’t remember their dreams is because they don’t really care and stressed. If we’re stresses for any reason, we may find that our dreams will slipped out easily the moment we’re conscious. As we’ve been trained to have millions things to remember on our mind once we’ve get out from bed, there are no single excuse for us to lingering in our dreamland anymore. Therefore, we might take it easy and even thought that we might not dream during the period we’re sleeping. Alcohol consumption and taking drugs on the other point will also inhabit dream recall or change the nature of the dreams. Alcohol and drugs will affect the cycle of a normal night sleep. Humans usually experience 4-5 cycles of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep yet they are short at the beginning of the night and longer towards the end. I will not interpret more about REM here in the first part as there might be a lot to say.

Kindly stay on for the next part of dream where we will talk about the symbols of anything pops-up in our dream.

Is Psychotherapies Worked?

I heard from my aunty which sees psychologist last year mentioned that the psychologist did not do anything but to listen to what she said. Later on, she asked me whether it is really worked for her depression. Let’s begin with the meaning of “psychotherapy”. Many people will think of or imagine patient lies on a couch in a dimly lit room while a therapist or psychologist sits besides the couch which they can see through lots of movie and dramas. The therapist then urges the patient to tell everything that is in their mind on anything which is hidden, experiences and painful thoughts. Does this really work? Will they move forward from suffers emotional or depression to a healthy mental? We will see how and what psychotherapy works from here and you will be the person to judge whether it is useful and perhaps you will need it in the future for yourself, family and friends.

Psychotherapy, currently practiced by psychologist and other professional therapist are actually takes in many different forms. It can be practice in a group – normally in jail and individually. I might take from here Freud’s psychology method and other as a discussion here to let you have a greater explanation.

Psychodynamic Therapy, are a based on mental disorders from hidden inner conflicts. This therapy assumes that mental disorders occur when there is no balance in our inner focus. Today’s merging therapy form from Freud’s thoughts comes out a conversation between patient and therapist sitting facing each other focusing on current problems to help patient to re-experience old conflicts in adaptive manner and at the same time resolve the matter in currents solution and thoughts.

On the other hand, phenomenal or environment will somehow interfere with personal growth and satisfaction. This kind of therapist named as humanistic therapies from which is also from Freud. There are three principles to measure this therapy; understand that other people will see the world with their eyes and thoughts, the goal of the therapy is to help “clients” and not patients and lastly all clients are equal. This therapy unlike psychodynamic which therapist believes that clients responsible for the success while the therapist is only a guide but psychodynamic believes responsible is from the therapist. From this therapy, there are two forms; client-centered as clients are being accepted and loved. This form will create a level of empathetic understanding in a caring environment as the individuals will understand their own feelings and accept their previously action. The other form will be gestalt therapy as clients feels becoming a whole from self-awareness.

Hope the above information will help you have some idea how psychologist practiced their way to help patients and from this you will get to know that there are many kinds of therapy being used till now!

Child’s Emotional

Babies can’t describe their feelings well when they are young and towards this it will direct them to only laugh, smile and cry. Interestingly, there are some expressions appear after they are ages. A two-month old baby will show their pain expressions more than anger expressions. While a six-month old baby will show anger expressions more than pain. It is because there are many connections between the expressions and it will occur simultaneously.

As baby grew older, they also acquire increasing capacities to read others emotional expressions. As when their mother tends to treat them softly, they will become upset when she shows anger expression. At about ten months, they will tend to seek attention from their busy mother working behind the kitchen. As they fall to one year old, they will often look at their caregiver’s reaction whether cry or laugh. Finally, their emotional and expression will develop all together when they are about two-years.

Many experts shows that babies involve positive emotions if they are typically in good and happy mood; negative emotions when they are angry, distress and fear. I have noted earlier that newborn babies will show more distress in response to cry. But you may found out that they will be more distress if they heard other babies crying that louder than them. It means that capacity of empathy will increases during the first two years of infants. They will tend to comfort other baby who is crying and when they are two, they may offer toy too even though it is their favorites. Yet, it is very clear that the development of empathy and temperament represents an important aspect of emotional for a baby or a child.

How Children Can Understand That They Are Girl or Boy?

Recently, my colleague Susan told me a story. She was about to send her son, Samuel to a dance class and learn piano. And she ended up being scold by her son. He told her that most of the students in the dance class are girls. And if he joined in, he will become a girl too. That brings us throughout a fun lunch. This condition occurred when there’s less “gender consistency” an understanding of sex identity.

The first step to grasp sex consistency in children is to make sure that they recognize that they belong to one sex or other – girl or boy. Gender identity needs to be established in their mind early childhood as their label and a certainty. As from their beginning age about three to four, such question “when you grow up, will you be a father or a mother” or “can you change into boy or girl now” are very useful to set a certain mindset during their childhood period.

They might be acquired to understand how they should adopted by clothing, hair styles and behaviors that associate with opposite sex. As time goes by, such questions may direct them to think and remain their mindset into remaining either they are girl or boy because they would continue to behave consistently as a boy or girl
