Sleep and Dream Journal

Description:

For this assignment, you’ll be keeping track of your sleep habits and your dreams in order to analyze your sleep habits and examine dream theories. To begin, make a copy of the sleep log attached below.

Instructions:

Based on your sleep/dream journal and what you have learned about the purpose of dreaming, write a 2-3 page paper about your own sleep habits.

Step 1: Track Your Dreams.

Keep track of your sleep habits and dreams for a MINIMUM of 3 days.

  • While it’s not guaranteed you will remember your dreams, you can take some steps to help. Begin by telling yourself you want to remember your dream, then print off the sleep/dream journal and have paper and a pen (or your phone) next to your bed right when you wake up. Try to review the dream in your head as soon as you wake up, and consider specifics such as the people involved, the location and setting, the storyline, or how you felt.

Step 2. Reflect and Record.

Your essay should include:

  • An analysis of your sleep habits. Do you go to bed at the same time every night? How many hours a night do you normally sleep? How could you be a better sleeper? Do you notice any patterns? What concepts from your text might apply to your sleep habits?
  • An analysis of your dreams. Why do you usually dream? Are there any patterns or reoccurring themes? Is there any consistency between the things you do during the day and the dreams you have? *If you cannot remember your dreams, you can skip this part and spend more time focusing on the steps above and below.
  • Your conclusion as to what is the MAIN purpose that we dream and why. Consider the theories presented in your readings.

Career Development Counseling

Interview a person who meets one of the following criteria: (a) a high school student considering the transition to college or employment, (b) an adult who lost his/her job, or (c) an adult considering a career change. You will chronicle the individual’s career development pathway to this point in her/his life. Prepare a career development plan for that person, taking into account issues, trends, new technologies, and applications specific to their work or intended work context, and evaluate the effectiveness of your plan. The report should include the following components:

Section I: Provide an overview of the individual’s presenting issue or concern and self-perception regarding interests, skills, accomplishments, and what motivates them. Here are some guided questions to help you with the interview. You must include but are not limited to:

  1. How and from whom did she/he gather information about this career?
  2. How does this career fit her/his life interests (including avocational) and personality?
  3. What is her/his level of satisfaction in this career, and in what ways does she/he plan to continue to challenge him/herself in this career?
  4. Explore how the current career is fulfilling at this stage of life
  5. What are the concerns he/she has about the career & some of the struggles?

The individual’s perception counts, even if it is not the case. Hence you want to report it as the individual sees it, suspending your judgment.
  7. How does this career fit her/his family and personal life?
  8. Are there impediments from the job to home life or home life to a job?
  9. What recommendations would he/she give to someone thinking about this career?

Summary of the interview:

    1. What are the challenges?
    2. What direction does she/he intend to go?
    3. What are her/his future pursuits?
    4. What are the changes in the field & the opportunities for advancements?
  • Based on what you learned about this person, what theoretical career orientation (s) best fits this person’s journey through her/his career developmental pathway to this point? State your reasons for choosing the (these) theory(ies) and give examples.

 

Section II: You will complete the O* Net Profiler, the O*Net Ability Profiler, O*Net Work Importance Locator, and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter II for the individual. You will then provide an overview and analysis of the career assessments related to the individuals’ work interests, values, and personality identification.
