What is the "truth" of dreams? The truth about dreams is that there are two ways to percieve the idea of a dream. One way to look at it is to see it as a goal, ambition, or desire. The other way to see dreams is to picture them as the nightly thought process most people go through when they sleep. images in the REM stage of sleep. Though these ideas are different, they can be based off of each other. for example, say you had a dream where you did something you never thought you would, like sky dived out of a yellow airplane. that could become a new goal of yours. And taking it the other direction, you could long for something, like a muffin, and have a dream about a muffin. Simple right? Not quite. there is still no single specific definition for a dream. Dreams, no matter how you percieve them, can be found anywhere you look. For example, in Of Mice And Men, Lennie and George have this undying dream of a palce with one acre, cows, chickens and rabbits. It's something they are longing for that creates a picture in their head. They know just what it should be like because it's their dream home. So basically, dreams cause us to make things the way we want them to be because we see them in our head. whether it's while we're awake or asleep, we still get mental images of what our dreams look like. The truth of dreams? It all relates to what you feel and think about. It all takes place in your mind until YOU make it happen.

//__What is the truth of "fear"__// __1/29/08__
= = ===William Golding expresses the idea of fear in his text very regularly. He frequently points out the idea of "THE FEAR" which of course, everyone is afraid of, with the acception of a few boys. To the boys on the island, "the fear" is something they thought they saw, but are unsure of it's existence. By this, it is implied that fear is unawareness. Wouldn't you agree that most people are afraid of things they don't know? For example, If you thought your signifigant other was cheating on you, because someone told you that they were, but you weren't sure; it is fact that you are afraid of something that you don't know is happening/true. You are unsure of something, so your immagination leads you on to all the negative outcome possibilites because that is how the human mind works.Our mind played tricks on ourselves when we are kids right? Would you concur that if we are afraid there is a monster under the bed, we are stunned, and too scared of what immages our mind has portrayed for us, to check? so until we know that there isn't one, we are afraid that it is lurking under the mattress, waiting to claw out our intestines. The boys were afraid to go overcome what they were daunted by. If i recall correctly, "The fear" was the darkness. All of the kids living on the island were afraid of the dark. How did they overcome it eventually? They built fires and shelters so they would be able to see what they needed and not be forced to explore the UNKNOWN. As you can see, the "truth of fear" is the idea of being unsure of something or someone, and it can intimidate us immensely, or even petrify us, but there are ways to surmount this awful mindset.=== = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =what is the "truth of mythology"?=

==The truth of mythology is to show different cultures' beliefs on the creation of life. You see, there are multiple myths that come form multiple cultures. And in these myths, the culture of the writer is brought out in the myth based on how the story is told (type of folklore) Myths are used to describe the beginning of life and the purpose we serve in it. Some cultures used personification to explain things in their myths by having talking animals or inanimate objects teach a lesson and reveal the moral of the story. Other myths showed that the culture believed a japaneese woman gave birth to islands and thats how they came to be. Mythology is the idea of telling a story to teach a lesson, reveal how things were created, and, possibly to explain the meaning of life. Myths have been used for hundreds of years, and even if you didnt believe in the myth it's self, it lead to beliefs in monotheism, (the belief i one god) or multiple gods. Thus creating religion. Without mythology, we would be closed minded and curious. We wouldn't have the solutions to religious questions (like the ever popular question:how did it start?) that we do today (the answer: the big bang theory). As you can tell by my explaination, mythology's truth is revealed in many forms.==
