Dreams & Latent Content

I have had a reoccuring dream since I was little and its me as a little kid walking out of the mall and walking up to the wrong car and a stranger pops his head out of the window with a ski mask on and the dream ends.  It only happens when thunderstorms are happening.
Another dream that I have is that I am walking to my friend's house and a person is walking their small dog.  I trip over something and when I look up I see that the small dog is running towards me and it bites my face.
Finally, I also have a dream where i am in a swamp and an alligator attacks me and I end up in the hospital surrounded by strangers that i do not know.

Little Albert

1. Yes the experiment did support their hypothesis.  After the loud sound each animal they showed Little Albert he began to cry.
2.  Albert's response was generalized because he was first scared of the rat and then they showed him a rabbit and dog and since he knew they were both soft like the mouse he became scared of those too.
3.  In the case of Peter, they used classical conditioning by making him have a good experience around rabbits so that after awhile he would stop being scared of rabbits.

Flipped

I thought that they deserved to go through all of that.  They got to feel what its like to be bullied and now could see what they were doing to others.  I hope that the experience will change them because no one wants to feel like that and what they had been doing before "flipped" was wrong.
