Can a dream really change you? | Anny Xu | TEDxYouth@BISWuxi
Transcriber: Becky Wu Reviewer: Walaa Mohammed Good afternoon, everyone. Before I start talking that anyone dream of something, I vow to change themselves. Okay, so dreams are not difficult to say in psychology. Simple, but somehow very difficult. Though it is simple that everyone has dreamed before. But the difficult thing is that everyone's dream is different and there is no control over the dreams. And so the hardest question, I think, is just a little sentence right here. Do dreams really change you? If yes, by how? I think that dreams can really change you. It will pass through something that seem real but fake on the other side. In this famous work, the Interpretation of Dreams written by Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud. Subconscious desires and people can effectively suppress unconscious and awaken state so that those desires that violate moral customs cannot do whatever they want. But when people go to sleep or relax, some desires will avoid the subconscious check and secretly surface a conscious level and express themselves in various images. This is the formation of dreams. To understand this sentence, you must first understand what subconscious mind is. The subconscious mind is the mental activity that has occurred in the course of human life but is not currently aware in the mental activity process. So there's. Together with consciousness, it constitutes all mental activity. Cognitive activities of human beings. For example, if you had a fight with someone last night and you made a story about you lost contact about with that person and you lived in a very sad life after this scares you and makes you want to admit your mistake in time. So why do I feel this way? I have an example of what happened to me. I used to say to one of my cats out of two because whatever I did, my cat was just going to stick me. And I think it's annoying. So I said, If you like this again, I'll roast to. Well, I just wanted to scare him. I don't. I didn't really think about if my cat understand human language, what it will feel like. So I had a dream. I had a dream that I went on on a vacation with strangers. And the cat was also there. The same cattle. And the guy I went on the vacation took me and the cat to another place that they said, It will be fun. And I was very happy. Are we going to the beach? And it will be also good to go to the amusement park, I think. But what I didn't expect is that I appeared in front of a dilapidated factory. I did not think much about it and went in with those people. The smoke was thick inside and there was a sound of chopping meat as I walk in. I walked in front of a muscular man. So strangers give my cat to that person. The man plays that cat onto a board that was stained with unknown red liquid. Well, I just remember that the man pulled out a kitchen knife suddenly. Probably about this big. And I cried. And the tears of pain slipped down, down my cheek, stomped on my chin and fell again. I didn't stop the man. What I knew is just to cry that time and regret was useless. I can't do anything about this. So the man forcefully split the cat's face with the kitchen knife. The cats face appear with deep wounds and blood gushes out. After a while, my cat smacked his face vigorously with his hand. As if the kitchen I had just landed on the face. But in fact, the kitchen. I had already been pulled away by the man. My cat looked at me. It's eyes became gradually dull. And I cried. Tears keep flowing. After that, I didn't think anything. I ran somewhere else and cried. And then I woke up, followed by a suffocating feeling in my nose. The bridge of my nose was wet and the feeling of tears running through the other I. I changed. I didn't want to have the same ending as in a dream. So I didn't say the words again when my cat was annoying, I just moved it slightly to the side. So this dream had a great impact on me. So I believe that dreams can really change people, even people's life. Thank you for listening.
