Writer's Dreaming

4. I believe dreams can be representative of a time, event, or object you think about a lot; however, many times, I believe dreams are merely random images that the brain combines together. Dreams may reveal thoughts we have a lot or other things on our mind. Often times, weird dreams happen to me about random books I’ve read. I might be having that dream just because I just finished that book. Although some dreams may seem symbolic or translate into something deeper, many are simply random nonsense.

5. I could never live that way. I talk so much. I talk not only to be social but I talk to inform or to make a joke. I always have something to say (more often than not it’s a joke.) I feel like I would be missing out on a lot if I didn’t speak for five years. I might talk too much, however I know when to stop or when it is not acceptable to speak. Although I do speak a lot, I can be a good listener during a serious discussion. Many of my friends chose to confide in me about personal problems or other issues going on in their lives. During silly times when sarcasm is acceptable, I never stop talking. During more serious conversations I am able to tone it down and put in an insightful comment.

7. I remember a lot of my life. Often, I remember the strangest details or conversations that have no significant impact to me. My first memory, for example, is when my younger brother was born. I was hardly two. Although I do not remember seeing him, holding him, or anything about the hospital or the experience, I remember going with my grandma to the store beforehand, Target,  and buying a read and blue foam ball for Timothy. Other early memories include flying to Florida (I remember nothing about the trip besides looking out the window of the airplane at night and there was lots of little lights from the city below. All in all, I do remember a lot from my childhood. I can probably remember the name of every kid in my grade at elementary school and what grade I had classes with them in.

8. I believe that Angelou’s statement means truth can be believed and facts are concrete. Just because you believe something to be true, doesn’t mean it is fact. Truths are in the eye of the beholder, facts are legitimate information that is 100% true. I agree with her. Just because something is believed, doesn’t mean it is fact. Many people may be misinformed or simply not understand something the correct way. This is why I believe that there is, in fact, a world of difference between truth and fact.
