Quick Review: Dream Psychology, Sigmund Freud
Dream Psychology by Sigmund Freud
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
It certainly is an eye-opener. Considering the amount of time I trundled to finish the book, I can say it is not for those who are in search for a light-read psychology book. I only endeavored to finish this because of my inability to endure people who can only quote Sigmund Freud without bothering to read his works. It always pays to go back to the original context whence his famous sexual symbols originated.
Albeit I can’t consider myself a psychologist, a Freud expert, and a dream interpreter, at least, for now, I can pay more attention to my dreams and try to discover my repressed wishes through them.
There is still too much to learn from him and ‘things are always lost in translation’ so, perhaps, after finishing a couple of Jung’s and Rand’s works, I might go back to reading his other books.

July Articles
Time flies so fast and Bergson and Einstein just gave me a headache this July.
Frequently do I encounter articles that make me feel satisfied and whole in just thinking about concepts.
The Massive Volcano that Scientists Can’t Find
I didn’t even know anything about this volcano.
The Many Upsides of a Happy Workforce
Time and time again do we say we need a happier environment. Happiness on the other hand is one subjective indicator of productivity. Albeit I understand the importance of companies making sure their employees are happy, as an employee myself, I can find small things that can uplift my spirit in a busy day that has nothing to do with the company.
Fiery Heaven, Bastard Earth: The Cosmology of “Game of Thrones
It is refreshing to read articles that interpret and analyze books beyond “What I like about the books” theme. Albeit definitely worthwhile, I have to admit that the last two paragraphs didn’t go well with me. I’d rather enjoy reading the books and their archetypes without having to bring in the real world into it.
Before even reading this article, I already figured out that I had one or two of the diseases. I have to confess that after reading it, I think I have about four. Humor aside, this is a timely article for me given that I am in the middle of writing an article regarding my career and my job.
“if you have a story like one somebody else has written, yours isn’t any good unless you can write a better one,” he said so need I say more?
How moments of boredom help us achieve more
If I could be perfectly honest, I’d say one reason I got my novel published was because I was bored. I had needed a challenging environment and NaNoWriMo gave it to me.
