What do your dreams mean?

What do my dreams say about who I am?

As we end the winter term we begin to work on our Final Presentations. Normally we would be giving a talking and more one on one presentation but this term is different. Because of what is going on in the world today, there is risk for our community. Instead of showing our Final Presentations at our school and open to the public, we will create blog posts about them. With the posts being a bit more public than showing it to families and fellow students that creates an opportunity to make our work more wide spread. For these final presentation we have been tasked with creating or using a guiding question based off of a certain class that we are showcasing. My final presentation is about dreams. One exercise that the other freshman and I worked on was sharing our dreams. This assignment was supposed to have us learn to interpret our dreams and understand them. We could use this analysis to think about other dreams that we had. This exercise can be done by you and a partner. Each of you can share a dream and whatever parts of it as you like and the dream partner will ask questions about your dream afterward. If you want to try it yourself there are directions below.

Guidelines for Sharing Your Dreams
-- Choose someone you trust to share your dream with and someone who trusts you to share their dream with you. 
-- Choose a dream you are comfortable with sharing.
-- Try not to ask questions that are too personal for the dreamer if they haven’t shared something about it already. 
-- If the dreamer does not want to share something do not pressure them to say it.
-- Do not tell the dreamer what their dream is about. Only say what it would mean to you in your dream.
-- Dreams that are shared should not be told to outsiders without the dreamer’s permission.

Use these questions to explore and interpret your dream.
-- If this dream had a title, what would it be?
-- How did this dream make you feel? What emotions do you associate with this dream?
-- What questions would you ask the dream, if any?
-- If you could go back into your dream and do something differently, what would you do?
-- Does this dream inspire any action in the conscious world? What do you feel like you need to do because of this dream?
-- What was the lesson you learned from the dream?

I have done this exercise and answered these questions which are below. 

-- If this dream had a title, what would it be?
Airplane Trap
-- How did this dream make you feel? What emotions do you associate with this dream?
This dream made me feel sad and alone.
-- What questions would you ask the dream, if any?
What does this dream mean? What do my actions represent?
-- If you could go back into your dream and do something differently, what would you do?
I would have tried harder to rescue the people that were dying and also try to get help from the other people that could help out.
-- Does this dream inspire any action in the conscious world? What do you feel like you need to do because of this dream?
I feel like I need to always help others if they are in danger when I can. If I have the chance to help or save people I should always do it.
-- What was the lesson you learned from the dream?
Always try to help the ones who cannot help themselves.

Snapshots of Memories

For Final Presentations this term I am presenting the GCE Minecraft server. The GCE Minecraft server is a multiplayer world on Minecraft where me and a fellow freshman have built GCE. Since we were not able to conclude our school year at GCE and it being the last year at the current location, we decided to make a replica in Minecraft. During the terms pre-apocalypse a few GCE students took interest in creating multiplayer Minecraft worlds like surviving as a group to beat the game and even building a massive city. As we moved through the weeks after GCE closed its doors the students continued to play and collaborate with each other. One of these students came up with the idea of building GCE. I agreed to do it because I have a passion for Minecraft and have become an architect on it just like the creators that I take inspiration from. When there is something you enjoy, do more of it. So, in the mindset of the Final Presentations for this term and having a little bit of fun we sta...

Spilling Into Something Else

Welcome back to my blog! This post is for the first Action Project of the Humanities class, Equality. In this first unit, we have learned about equality and how to reach an egalitarian society. We also dove into intersectionality, sociology, and social stratification. We started reading There There  by Tommy Orange, a novel following the stories of Native American characters in Oakland grappling with a complex and painful history and identity. With the idea of creating zines for our Action Project, we had multiple Field Experiences that gave us a chance to observe and study all kinds of zines. These FEs include looking at the zine collection in the Joseph Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago, Co-Prosperity artist space and gallery to investigate underground and independent media, and Howling Pages Comics, where the owner promotes zines created by young people and small press or independent comics. This Action Project asks us to choose a historical event that exemplifies...

My 24 Hour Woodworking Challenge

Welcome back to my blog! This post is for the first Action Project of the Humanities class, Endurance. In this class, we have been learning what it means to endure. We looked through history to see moments where humans endured, such as Ernest Shackleton's survival in the Antarctic and the Holocaust, while we read the book Night by Elie Wiesel. We also introduced small challenges we would have to endure, like holding an ice cube in our hand for as long as possible. For this Action Project, we have been tasked with committing 24 hours to a challenge with a clear mission and guiding question. My mission for this AP was to build and improve my woodworking skills and create something that is important to me. My guiding question was, what is the best bridge I can build? For 24 hours, I worked toward creating a wooden bridge by myself with only a small amount of woodworking experience behind me. While working, I recorded my progress by taking photos and filming time-lapses. The video belo...
