Dreams 2
... For example, he did tests on many patients in which he would use external forces to see if it would indeed effect their dreams. Freud placed a strong cologne in front of a patients nose, and the patient dreamt that he was in Cairo acting as a sort of "Zorro" type hero on an adventure. Then he placed a drop of water on the patient's forehead, and the patient dreamt he was in Italy, and sweating violently while drinking Orvieto wine. So this would be one theory to how dreams come about. However, Freud pondered the question of "why do we have dreams if there is no external stimuli present?" Thus, he concluded that if there is no external stimuli then the dreamer must r ...

Hockey
... on makeshift ice skates in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages, similar to field , it involves hitting an object with sticks between two goalposts. Probably the first ice players were North American Indians who used field tools that were curved at the lower end.

History Of Feminism And Femini
... and the lower working class.

The feminist movement is primarily categorised into two different periods of time. The first period is known as “ First wave Feminism ” and occurred from 1760-1935.

Teacher Certification
... of our country. Before looking
at the reform movement, however, one must first look at the so called problem of
inconsistency in teacher certification.
In our country today there is a general consistency among the
requirements for state certification of teachers. Most states require their
teacher institutions to establish a teacher education program that includes
coursework and fieldwork. The coursework includes those courses that prepare a

meters thick. They usually had 3 layers: a rough stone inner shell, a thick,
solid filling of flint and rubble, and an outer layer of stone called ashlar.
(MacDonald, p.8) There was usually a walkway along the top of the walls so
