| | Divination Classroom As you enter the Classroom you notice shelves filled with items like frilly teapots and stacks of matching cups and saucers. On another set of shelves you see rows of glass balls of various sizes and other strange objects like stones and cystals of different shapes, colors and sizes. The tables are large and round, with comfortable poofy chairs surrounding them. The fireplace is lit emitting a warm glow that adds an eeriness as the flames reflect off of the many shiny objects. Professor Kotkin sits back and waits as the students climb the narrow ladder that leads to the tower of the Divination Classroom. |

Erin pulled her dream journal out of her bag and held it up. "Dream Journal- Check." she said with a smile.

Jo pulled out her dream-journal, "this here is some messed up sleep," she added, gesturing to the leather bound book.

"A dream is a series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep" Meghan said after raising her hand.

"Umm, its sort of like a vision sometimes, or when someone dreams it shows their worst fears in their minds eye or their hearts desire?" Yurio said with his hand in the air.

Erin took notes on her classmates answers. She didn't answer because she thought that the answers that they had already given were correct.

"A dream is the visual and/or auditory manifestation of our subconsious while we are asleep." Jo said.

| Professor Kotking nodded, "Yes, you are correct. Dreams to some, can also represent a fascinating alternate reality. Does anyone know when in 'written' history, people first attempted to interpret their dreams?"

Sabrina raised her hand. "Dream interpretations dates back to 3000-4000 B.C. were they were documented in clay tablets."

Meghan nodded when she heard Sabrina's answer. She wrote that down in the notes she had been taking.

Jo was stumped, she immediately began rifling through her books for a clue. "It might have been the Ancient Egyptians," she ventured, "maybe?"

| "One of the first that was documented was Amphictyon of Athens in 1497 BC. But the early Chaldeans and Egyptians as well as the Jews had earlier forms of dream interpretation. There are many books about the meanings of dreams. Michel de Montaigne wrote that, "I believe it to be true that dreams are the reliable interpretations of our inclinations, but art is required to sort out and comprehend them." It takes patience to interpret dreams, and it helps to know something of the person and how they feel about the objects they are dreaming about. For example, a Box in a dream to some will represent a secret, or a surprise, maybe even a treasure. But others may see it as confinement or a trap." Professor Kotkin turned to the board and listed a few items. Bird Black Door Drowning Falling Fire Green House Key .... Please take turns and try and come up with what these objects may represent in a dream." |

Meghan raised her hand for the first one. She figured she would try to tacikle the bird one.
"To dream of a chirping and/or flying birds, represents joy, harmony, ecstasy, balance, and love. It denotes a sunny outlook in life. You will experience spiritual freedom and psychological liberation. It is almost as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.
To dream of dead or dying birds, foretells a period of coming disappointments. You will find yourself worrying over problems that are constantly on your mind.
To see bird eggs in your dream, symbolizes money.
To see birds hatching in your dream, symbolizes delayed success.
To see a bird nest in your dream, symbolizes independence, refuge and security. You need something to fall back on. Alternatively, it may signify a prosperous endeavor, new opportunities, and fortune." She hoped she was right.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Casper Scouten Fourth Year | "Hmm..." Emma thought. "Well... Falling and Drowning might represent a feeling of helplessness and fear. Blackness or darkness might be someone feeling alone in the world. A door and key could be opportunities... Green could be happiness or life. Fire... maybe anger, power, or danger. And a bird might be freedom." |

Jo raised her hand tentatively, "could a bird maybe represent freedom, like the freedom of flight? is that wrong?"

Sabrina raised her hand. "Hmm, well, I'll take drowning. If you see yourself drowning, then that could be interpreted as being overwhelemed by emotions or issues in your life. Another way to look at it is if you see someone drowning. This could indicate that you're getting yourself involved in something that you can't control." She furrowed her brow, hoping her interpretation was correct.

Yurio raised his hand. "A key could mean you've discovered a secret of somesort or maybe you've been working hard and will get a promotion? It could also mean you feel like you've been locked away by someone?" he said.
"And a house could represent... umm... a large obstical because houses are usually big, or maybe it means that your to be married or something and live in a house with your family?" he wasnt as sure about his house interpitation as the key.

Jo tried again, "Maybe a door is a something like a new begining, or possibilities, or something like that." Jo had something in her mind but she couldn't really express what she meant, "Like how oppurtunities are like doors."

Meghan raised her hand to try the green one.
"Green signifies a positive change, good health, growth, healing, hope, vigor, vitality, peace, and serenity. Green is also symbolic of your strive to gain recognition and establish your independence. Money, wealth and jealousy are often associated with this color.
Dark green indicates materialism, cheating, deceit, and/or difficulties with sharing. You need to balance between your masculine and feminine attributes."
Meghan took down notes on the other things everyone was saying.

"Isn't fire supposed to represent passion?" Jo asked, "Or is it unrest?" This is sooo not my subject

Meghan decided to tackle falling as well.
"To dream that you fall and are not frightened, signifies that you will overcome your adversities with ease.
To dream that you fall and are frightened, indicates a lack of control, insecurity, and/or lack of support in your waking life. You may be experiencing some major struggle and/or overwhelming problem. It may denote that you have failed to achieve a goal that you have set forth for yourself.
To dream that you are free-falling through water, indicates that you are feeling overwhelmed with emotions. You may feel that it is easier to give up then to try to stay afloat or prevent yourself from going under. "
