Directions: The passage below is followed by a question based on its content. Answer the question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.
Freudian psychology interlinks dreams to be an outburst of repressed human emotions. Living in a society we are morally bound so we deny ourselves a few desires which probably sound unethical. These repressed feelings drastically affect our ego and causes anxiety, giving way to a few symbolic dreams.
Freud argued that an individual is often reticent and holds his urges stoically when awake. When asleep these same impulses provoke dreams. A firm believer of the theory that every action and thought has a cause probably entangled with the unconscious mind, he considered dreams to be the suppressed emotions in disguise. Every dream has a symbolic notation. It is a representation of our hidden pleasures and desires which our ego has guarded in day's light. In the blackness of night these pent up urges get outrageous and find way through dreams, even healthy minded dream. The suppression became the stimuli to these dreams. The content or stimuli to these dreams could relate to any present or past event of restriction. Freud's writing rejected the existence of dream interpreters or terminology explaining meanings of dream symbols. He said the significance of all dreams could be studied through personal experience as self analysis would be the best to study one's own fantasies. Probably these dreams would be misapprehended by others. This psycho analysis gave way to scientific erudition and research and soon became part of hypnosis. This became a password to all research of the sub consciousness. The dreams ultimately were realized as mere passivity of human aspirations. They were no side effect of indigestion or divine messages from the almighty. They were our own frustrations or desires. In an effort to maintain our sanity we tried to modify all objectionable stuff, inducing a stimulus to anxiety which would be released in sleep later on.

Directions: The passage below is followed by a question based on its c...
Key Point:
- The passage suggests that outlandish urges which are suppressed in a social network are what instigate dreams according to Freudian psychology.

Explanation:

Suppressed Urges:
According to the passage, living in a society leads individuals to deny themselves certain desires due to moral constraints. These repressed feelings have a significant impact on the ego and can cause anxiety.

Dreams as Outburst of Repressed Emotions:
Freud argued that dreams are a manifestation of these suppressed emotions and desires. When individuals are awake, they stoically hold back their urges. However, during sleep, these impulses come to the surface through dreams.

Symbolic Notation in Dreams:
Every dream, as per Freud, has a symbolic notation representing hidden pleasures and desires that the ego guards during waking hours. These pent-up urges find expression in dreams during the night, even in mentally healthy individuals.

Stimuli to Dreams:
The content or stimuli to dreams can be related to present or past events of restriction. These dreams are instigated by the outlandish urges that individuals suppress in a social network.
Therefore, based on the passage, it can be concluded that dreams are instigated by the outlandish urges and suppressed emotions that individuals experience in their daily lives, especially in a social setting.

Group QuestionThe passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question.You cannot be surprised that under the conditions of continued disappearance of functions, the unfortunate student asks: "What becomes of the mind itself? If you suppress all the functions, what is left?" In the Indian way of teaching, when you come to a difficulty, someone jumps up and asks a question. And in the commentaries, the question which raises the difficulty is always put. The answer of Patanjali is: "Then the spectator remains in his own form." Theosophy answers: "The Monad remains." It is the end of the human pilgrimage. That is the highest point to which humanity mayclimb: to suppress all the reflections in the fivefold universe through which the Monad has manifested his powers, and then for the Monad to realize himself, enriched by the experiences through which his manifested aspects have passed. But to the Samkhyan the difficulty is very great, for when he has only his spectator left, when spectacle ceases, the spectator himself almost vanishes. His only function was to look on at the play of mind. When the play of mind is gone, what is left? He can no longer be a spectator, since there is nothing to see. The only answer is: "He remains in his own form." He is now out of manifestation, the duality is transcended, and so the Spirit sinks back into latency, no longer capable of manifestation. There you come to a very serious difference with the Theosophical view of the universe, for according to that view of the universe, when all these functions have been suppressed, then the Monad is ruler over matter and is prepared for a new cycle of activity, no longer slave but master.All analogy shows us that as the Self withdraws from sheath after sheath, he does not lose but gains in Self- realization. Self- realization becomes more and more vivid with each successive withdrawal; so that as the Self puts aside one veil of matter after another, recognises in regular succession that each body in turn is not himself, by that process of withdrawal his sense of Self-reality becomes keener, not less keen. It is important to remember that, because often Western readers, dealing with Eastern ideas, in consequence of misunderstanding the meaning of the state of liberation, or the condition of Nirvana, identify it with nothingness or unconsciousness—an entirely mistaken idea which is apt to colour the whole of their thought when dealing with Yogic processes. Imagine the condition of a man who identifies himself completely with the body, so that he cannot, even in thought, separate himself from it—the state of the early undeveloped man—and compare that with the strength, vigour and lucidity of your own mental consciousness.The consciousness of the early man limited to the physical body, with occasional touches of dream consciousness, is very restricted in its range. He has no idea of the sweep of your consciousness, of your abstract thinking. But is that consciousness of the early man more vivid, or less vivid, than yours? Certainly you will say, it is less vivid. You have largely transcended his powers of consciousness. Your consciousness is astral rather than physical, but has therebyincreased its vividness. As the Self withdraws himself from sheath after sheath, he realizes himself more and more, not less and less; Self-realization becomes more intense, as sheath after sheath is cast aside. The centre grows more powerful as the circumference becomes more permeable, and at last a stage is reached when the centre knows itself at every point of the circumference. When that is accomplished the circumference vanishes, but not so the centre. The centre still remains. Just as you are more vividly conscious than the early man, just as your consciousness is more alive, not less, than that of an undeveloped man, so it is as we climb up the stairway of life and cast away garment after garment. We become more conscious of existence, more conscious of knowledge, more conscious of Self-determined power. The faculties of the Self shine out more strongly, as veil after veil falls away. By analogy, then, when we touch the Monad, our consciousness should be mightier, more vivid, and more perfect. As you learn to truly live, your powers and feelings grow in strength.And remember that all control is exercised over sheaths, over portions of the Not-Self. You do not control your Self; that is a misconception; you control your Not-Self. The Self is never controlled; He is the Inner Ruler Immortal. He is the controller, not the controlled. As sheath after sheath becomes subject to your Self, and body after body becomes the tool of your Self, then shall you realize the truth of the saying of the Upanishad, that you are the Self, the Inner Ruler, the immortal.Q. Which of the statements below best describes the Theosophical view of the universe?

Directions:The passage below is accompanied by a set of questions. Choose the best answer to each question.Philosophical games aside, the practical importance of understanding the brain basis of consciousness is easy to appreciate. General anaesthesia has to count as one of the greatest inventions of all time. Less happily, distressing disturbances of consciousness can accompany brain injuries and mental illnesses for the increasing number of us, me included, who encounter these conditions. And for each one of us, conscious experiences change throughout life, from the blooming and buzzing confusion of early life, through the apparent though probably illusory and certainly not universal clarity of adulthood, and on to our final drift into the gradual — and for some, disorientingly rapid — dissolution of the self as neurodegenerative decay sets in.At each stage in this process, you exist, but the notion that there is a single unique conscious self (a soul?) that persists over time may be grossly mistaken. Indeed, one of the most compelling aspects of the mystery of consciousness is the nature of self. Is consciousness possible withoutself-consciousness? And if so, would it still matter so much?Answers to difficult questions like these have many implications for how we think about the world and the life it contains. When does consciousness begin in development? Does it emerge at birth, or is it present even in the womb? What about consciousness in nonhuman animals — and not just in primates and other mammals, but in otherworldly creatures like the octopus and perhaps even in simple organisms such as nematode worms or bacteria?Despite his now-tarnished reputation among neuroscientists, Sigmund Freud was right about many things. Looking back through the history of science, he identified three "strikes" against the perceived self-importance of the human species, each marking a major scientific advance that was strongly resisted at the time.The first was by Copernicus, who showed with his heliocentric theory that the Earth rotates around the sun and not the other way around. With this dawned the realisation that we are not at the centre of the universe; we are just a speck somewhere out there in the vastness, a pale blue dot suspended in the abyss.Next came Darwin, who revealed that we share common ancestry with all other living things, a realisation that is — astonishingly — still resisted in some parts of the world even today.Immodestly, Freuds third strike against human exceptionalism was his own theory of the unconscious mind, which challenged the idea that our mental lives are under our conscious, rational control. While he may have been off target in the details, he was absolutely right to point out that a naturalistic explanation of mind and consciousness would be a further, and perhaps final, dethronement of humankind.These shifts in how we see ourselves are to be welcomed. With each new advance in our understanding comes a new sense of wonder and a new ability to see ourselves as lessapart from —and morea part of— the rest of nature.Our conscious experiences are part of nature just as our bodies are, just as our world is. And when life ends, consciousness will end too. When I think about this, I am transported back to my experience — mynon-experience — of anaesthesia. To its oblivion, perhaps comforting, but oblivion nonetheless. The novelist Julian Barnes, in his meditation on mortality, puts it perfectly. When the end of consciousness comes, there is nothing — reallynothing —to be frightened of.Q.Which one of the following best describes the word oblivion in the context of the passage?

Here you can find the meaning of Directions: The passage below is followed by a question based on its content. Answer the question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.Freudian psychology interlinks dreams to be an outburst of repressed human emotions. Living in a society we are morally bound so we deny ourselves a few desires which probably sound unethical. These repressed feelings drastically affect our ego and causes anxiety, giving way to a few symbolic dreams.Freud argued that an individual is often reticent and holds his urges stoically when awake. When asleep these same impulses provoke dreams. A firm believer of the theory that every action and thought has a cause probably entangled with the unconscious mind, he considered dreams to be the suppressed emotions in disguise. Every dream has a symbolic notation. It is a representation of our hidden pleasures and desires which our ego has guarded in days light. In the blackness of night these pent up urges get outrageous and find way through dreams, even healthy minded dream. The suppression became the stimuli to these dreams. The content or stimuli to these dreams could relate to any present or past event of restriction. Freuds writing rejected the existence of dream interpreters or terminology explaining meanings of dream symbols. He said the significance of all dreams could be studied through personal experience as self analysis would be the best to study ones own fantasies. Probably these dreams would be misapprehended by others. This psycho analysis gave way to scientific erudition and research and soon became part of hypnosis. This became a password to all research of the sub consciousness. The dreams ultimately were realized as mere passivity of human aspirations. They were no side effect of indigestion or divine messages from the almighty. They were our own frustrations or desires.
