Twelve Dreams

She could see the silhouette of a man dressed in a stunning James Bond-style tuxedo, staring at her. Though a blur, he appeared to be smiling—Or is that smirking?
She walked closer slowly, but he seemed to be getting further away with every step she took. She felt weak, as if her legs were made of rubber. Still, she kept walking—no, more like floating—towards him. The cool air swirled around her, gently clutching her velvety satin layers of. . . . What am I wearing anyway? And who is this man? She had to find out.
As she drifted closer, the “tunnel” she seemed to be in was getting narrower. Even though he was facing her and not walking at all, he appeared to be getting further away. That’s typical of a dream anyway, she thought. Nothing is ever as it seems!
She could hear music and clambering, Like a flock of birds, maybe? No, wait, people? But she couldn’t see people anywhere or birds for that matter, just colours and shapes at her sides, wiggling and floating, like ghosts, as she wandered past them.
It was getting brighter as she got closer to him. What a cliché, she thought! “The light at the end of the tunnel?” Everything except him was a blur, but he still moved further away, without ever taking a step!

She’d had this dream for eleven nights in a row! What …show more content…
She couldn’t see anything in them, of course; it seemed as if she were looking through the bottom of a Coke bottle. In the second dream, she was looking in a mirror, but she could not see her own face, just a blur of someone who looked vaguely like her. In the third, she was standing on some kind of podium while some young woman tugged at her back. What the hell was she wearing? By the sixth dream, she had flowers in her hair. A sixties’ hippie? she thought. The eleventh dream revealed a tall building with a lot of coloured windows. Coloured

John Wayne Gacy Criminal Profile

...he was bisexual. On Mother’s Day, after having sex with her, Gacy stated that would be the last time they would ever have sex (Cahill & Ewing, 1986). He then began coming home in the middle of the night, sometimes bringing teenage boys with him into their garage. Gacy and Hoff divorced in March 1976. Gacy’s first murder took place on January 2, 1972. Sixteen year old Timothy McCoy was picked up by Gacy at the Chicago Greyhound station. Gacy had convinced McCoy to spend the night and promised that he would have him back at the bus station the next morning. During the night, Gacy was woken up and saw McCoy standing in his room with a knife. Gacy jumped out of bed and as McCoy surrendered, Gacy was cut on the forearm. A struggle then ensued, ending with Gacy on top of McCoy where he would stab him with the knife numerous times. Gacy then went in to the kitchen to find that McCoy was making breakfast and was only in his room to wake him up for breakfast and had mistakenly brought the knife with him. Gacy went on to bury McCoy in a crawlspace in his home and cover him with a layer of concrete (Cahill & Ewing, 1986). In an interview in 1980, Gacy stated that he had an orgasm while killing McCoy and claimed, "That's when I realized that death was the ultimate thrill” Cahill & Ewing, 1968). Gacy killed again in January 1974. The identity of the victim is unknown, but was estimated to be between 14 and 18 years old. Gacy strangled the boy and then hid his body in his closet before burying...

...386. Copyright, 1922 by The MacmiUan Company and used with their permission). Compare Sigmund Freud: "I recognized the presence of symbolism in dreams from the very beginning. But it was only by degTees and as my experience increased that I arrived at a full appreciation of its extent and significance, and I did so under the influence of . . . Wilhelm Stekel. . . . Stekel arrived at his interpretations of symbols by way of intuition, thanks to a peculiar gift for the direct understanding of them. . . . Advances in psycho-analytic experience have brought to our notice patients who have shown a direct understanding of dream-symbolism of this kind to a surprising extent. . . . This symbolism is not peculiar to dreams, hut is characteristic of unconscious ideation, in particular among the people, and it is to be found in folklore, and in popular myths, legends, linguistic idioms,, proverbial wisdom and current jokes, to a more complete extent than in dreams." {The Interpretation of Dreams, translated by James Strachey, Standard Edition, V, pp. 350-351.) 17 16 THE MONOMYTH MYTH AND DREAM Ones of the Dream" are not to be confused with the personally modified symbolic figures that appear in nightmare and madness to the still tormented individual.

Postmodernism

...tells the story of Ronald 'Ron' Keith Williamson of Ada, Oklahoma, a former minor league baseball player who was wrongly convicted in 1988 for the rape and murder of Debra Sue Carter in Ada and was sentenced to death. After serving 11 years on death row, he was exonerated by DNA evidence and other material introduced by the Innocence Project and was released in 1999. Contents * 1 Synopsis * 2 Book edition * 3 References * 4 External links | Synopsis Ron Williamson has returned to his hometown of Ada, Oklahoma after multiple failed attempts to play for various minor league baseball teams, including the Fort Lauderdale Yankees and two farm teams owned by the Oakland A's. An elbow injury inhibited his chances to progress. His big dreams were not enough to overcome the odds (less than 10 percent) of making it to a big league game. His failures lead to, or aggravate, his depression and problem drinking.[1] Early in the morning of December 8, 1982, the body of Debra Sue Carter, a 21-year-old cocktail waitress, was found in the bedroom of her garage apartment in Ada. She had been beaten, raped and suffocated. After five years of false starts and shoddy police work by the Ada police department, Williamson—along with his "drinking buddy", Dennis Fritz—were...

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley

...Chapter One A SQUAT grey building of only thirty-four stories. Over the main entrance the words, CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY. The enormous room on the ground floor faced towards the north. Cold for all the summer beyond the panes, for all the tropical heat of the room itself, a harsh thin light glared through the windows, hungrily seeking some draped lay figure, some pallid shape of academic gooseflesh, but finding only the glass and nickel and bleakly shining porcelain of a laboratory. Wintriness responded to wintriness. The overalls of the workers were white, their hands gloved with a pale corpse-coloured rubber. The light was frozen, dead, a ghost. Only from the yellow barrels of the microscopes did it borrow a certain rich and living substance, lying along the polished tubes like butter, streak after luscious streak in long recession down the work tables. "And this," said the Director opening the door, "is the Fertilizing Room." Bent over their instruments, three hundred Fertilizers were plunged, as the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning entered the room, in the scarcely breathing silence, the absent-minded, soliloquizing hum or whistle, of absorbed concentration. A troop of newly arrived students, very young, pink and callow, followed nervously, rather abjectly, at the Director's heels. Each of them carried a notebook, in which, whenever the great man spoke, he desperately...

...with the Instructor Resource material: CHAPTER 1 Introduction to Project Management Discussion Questions 1. Why is there a new or renewed interest in the field of project management? More and more projects are being done by a variety of organizations. The projects are more complex and often involve the use of new technologies. Organizations are struggling to find better ways to manage their projects. 2. What is a project? How is it different from what most people do in their day-to-day jobs? A project is “a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service” (PMBOK( Guide, 2000, p. 4). Projects are different from day-to-day activities primarily because they have focused goals and definite beginning and ending dates. 3. What is project management? Briefly describe the project management framework. Project management is “the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities in order to meet project requirements” (PMBOK( Guide, 2000, p. 6). The project management framework graphically shows the process of beginning with stakeholders’ needs and expectations, applying the nine project management knowledge areas and various tools and techniques to lead to project success and then enterprise success. 4. How does project management relate to other disciplines? Project management is a separate discipline, but it does overlap with general...
