Significance of Dreaming
Our project is focused around dreaming and if there is any significance behind dreaming.
Sometimes people assume that within their dreams, certain colors or pictures could be a sign.
The signs could correlate to something that may happen in the future or an event/place that
should be revisited in your past. We will start our paper with the history of dreaming as well as
sharing viewpoints on why we dream. Within the history of dreaming we will discover how far it
dates back as well as philosophers who have influenced the way weve perceived dreaming.
Dreaming is different in cultures around the world. Sometimes dreaming in cultures can mean
there soul is leaving their body or assuming that evil dreams were temptations by the devil.
There are also several different types of dreams. We will research each individual type of dream
and the impact it could have on you and possibly your everyday life. With each dream type an
example of someone who has experienced that specific type of dream will be provided as well as
if it has any proven significance behind it. We will also dig into the stages of sleep as well as
sleep walking. Another topic we will address is if someone is dreaming while they are
In order to have an effective project that clearly gets its point across to the viewers, we
will use a digital format that will organize our thoughts, making it easy for the audience to
follow. Our main idea of the significance of dreaming will be broken down into sub topics. Each
topic will have a substantial amount of detail to ensure that the viewer will have little to no
questions, once the presentation is complete. Data and statistics will also be integrated into our
presentation to back up everything that we say to decrease any doubt or confusion with the
viewer.

Our proposed plan is appropriate and effective for our topic, as using a digital format will
be an attractive as well as a clear way to convey the broad message that dreaming indeed has a

incorporating facts and statistics about dreaming from a variety of sources in order to explain the
types of dreaming known to man in an efficient and correct way. The audience also needs to
value the importance of this topic because many individuals experience dreams, but some
experience them more than others as well as the significance behind the dreams.
Due to the fact that this is a group project, the majority of the research and work will be
done together to ensure that we are all on the same page. The researching and gathering of
information will be done by all of us because we all need to know the ends and outs of this
project. In addition, the formatting of the slides, presentation, and online component will be
conducted by the one who is most technically savvy and feels more comfortable with a
computer. However, each of us will be assigned a certain number of topics within our
presentation so that when we present, each of us will have an equal amount of talking time. Also,
each of us will be responsible to find at least three sources and come together to see which ones

dreaming and the significance it can have on your life. They will walk away with a broad
understanding of how dreaming is perceived within different cultures as well as the overall
