Interpretation Of Dreams Collective Unconscious
3,728 wordsfreud dreamworks By: leo 1 INTRODUCTION Although Jung was a pupil of Freud, and one would think they shared the same idea about the interpretation of dreams, that is not exactly true.

Lymph Nodes Nervous System
1,517 wordsStress is the nonspecific response of the body to any demand made on it. Each demand made on the body is specific. Each drug or hormone has specific actions, yet they all have one thing in common; they increase the demand for readjustment. This demand is nonspecific; it requires adaptation to a problem. In other words, in addition to their specific actions, all agents to which we are exposed also produce a nonspecific increase in the need to perform adaptive functions to re-establish normality. ...
