My definition of Creativity: the ability to come up with ideas that
other people hadn’t exactly thought of and are interested in. it con-

Dreaming:
Dream 3 | January 28, 2010: My Uncle George, who I do not see fre-
quently, and my cousin Neil, who I see all the time, were arguing about
Apple’s new iPad. My Uncle George said he really liked it and didn’t
seem to care what Neil had to day. My Uncle was convinced that it was
an incredible useful new tool that was intended for his generation,
and not Neil’s (age 22).

Dream Decoded: “Dream 3” - January 28, 2010
I tried to decode parts of this dream and here is what I came up with:
Although the argument was between my cousin and uncle, I feel like it
was representative of an argument between my generation and an older,
baby boomer generation. In this case, the argument suggests that
there is some soft of internal conflict that is unsettled. I imagine
the iPad was incorporated into my dream because of it’s timing and was
on my mind at some point that day.
The cookie in the second half of my dream could mean that I have feel-
ings of optimism or an increase in productivity. It could also sig-
nify that I will have a rise in status. The pizza represents abun-
dance, choices, and variety. It may also indicate that I am lacking
optimism
or feeling deprived of something.
Seeing my old friend Ryan could indicate that I have been acting
childish lately and need to start acting like an adult.

Final idea: My vision is to develop a website that allows students or
others on the University of Illinois campus to see how long a line
is at a certain bar, how full the bar is, and whether or not there is
cover before they leave their apartment/house. Ideally, this website
will entice bars and food places to advertise on this website. Adver-

think of people I ran into to see if they would be incorporated into
my dream somehow. I have frequently had dreams about random people
who I knew years ago. For this reason, I wanted to see if thinking dream incubation
about who I saw in a particular day had any affect on who was in my
dream that night.

Week 6: Seeing Art at Krannert
The art I chose: what’s going on? Some sort of inner conflict repre-
sented by the dramatic use of the “opposite” or the idea that options
are endless (as represented by the blue sky) yet there is a force draw-
ing you back to reality. I like the way the plane seems to intersect
to suggest the overlap. Red represents life.

Week 12: Nurturing Your Lifestyle. Tharp.
Main points from Tharp: in order to be creative you have to know how
to prepare to be creative. What works for one person can be useless
for another. One thing I think I should try implementing into my life
is working on my memory. Tharp talks about how she tests her memory
to try to remember the first notes or corrections that she wants to
discuss with performers. By doing this, she exercises her memory and
mentions the importance of having a strong one. For me, I think I can
exercise my memory by rewriting notes for classes that I need to re-
member key concepts for. This will help solidify what I learned that

have become. They cannot even afford a loaf of bread).

son’s name was Jack. They were very poor and lived away from much

civilization. One afternoon, Jack and his dad were discussing their
struggling financial situation.
[Dialogue: Dad tells Jack she doesn’t know where all their valuables
are disappearing to! Jack acts like he doesn’t know why, but says he
will try to make some money].
Narrator: Jack quickly rounds up some household items to take to town
and try to sell. Along the way he meets a sketchy-looking man on the
side of a run-down building.
[Dialogue: Jack and man negotiate a drug deal. Jack says he has to
sell the items to feed his family, but quickly caves into his drug ad-
diction, and buys the drugs instead of the “valuables”]
[Jack runs home to use the drugs] (Joe is dealer)
Narrator: Nervous he would get caught, he hid the drugs and decided
he would use them when his mother wasn’t around.
[Jack hiding the drugs. Then his dad is snooping around and finds
them].
Narrator: Jack’s dad finds the beans and throws them out the window
in disgust!
[dad throws drugs out window and says something to scold jack]
Narrator: Jack goes to bed, disappointed and feeling a little with-
drawl. The next morning Jack wakes up.

Course Reflection:
How I have changed from this class: From taking this
class, I have become more willing to take creative risks
and think differently. I always thought I could be some-
what creative in different ways, but have never been able
to lay it out as much as I have during this course. I
have also enjoyed working with people outside my major.
Hearing different perspectives and getting to know peo-
ple who have vastly different interests than I do has been
nothing less than inspiring.
Projection of how I will apply what I have learned: I
will definitely utilize many of the creative brainstorming
processes discussed throughout the course. For example,
I plan to make use of exotic association, mind mapping,
and lotus blossoms (to name a few). I also really liked
Tharp’s theory on how routine can enhance creativity. I
also find writing things down to be extremely helpful and
plan to continue recording interesting thoughts or ideas
that I come across.
How I designed my PCA: I designed my PCA to display two
different ways of processing information. My PCA is pri-
marily filled with class notes and assignments and their
key points. The “right brain” side gives a brief visual
of what is on the “left brain” side. I especially wanted
to create a “right brain” representation of my notes be-
cause I typically learn better when things are laid out
visually. In addition, I think one of the greatest things

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) because I was interested in her
rapid success as a performing artist. Labeling Gaga as innovative and
unique is an understatement. Before researching her background, I
found her songs annoying and redundant. She seemed crazy and like she
was simply seeking attention. However, her fame inspired me to look
further into the life of Lady Gaga and what motives her as an artist.
I first began finding interest in Gaga when I read an article about her
Telephone music video. The article was all about the product place-
ments and whether or not they were paid for by the different brands or
just things she wanted to include. I watched the entire nine-minute
video and was left incredibly confused. I decided to further look in

BTOW1: Scene: Snowboarder Shaun White and his fitness trainer were
doing yoga at the Museum of Contemporary art in Chicago. They liked
to go early in the morning when no one was there to get in a quick
workout. Shaun has a secret interest in both art and yoga and at-
tributes these to his remarkable athletic talent. One of the local
artists whose work was being featured at that time came in early that
day to bring in a few new pieces. He was extremely caught off guard
to see people doing yoga in the middle of the museum and felt it was
disrespectful and detracted from the ultimate feel of the gallery.
The artist, not being much of a snowboarding fan, did not know who the
Olympian was. He immediately called the cops and said that Carrot Top
was trespassing! News spread fast and cops arrived just after a group
btow1
of paparazzi had gotten a few pictures of the scene.
As it turns out, the local artist used the opportunity to sabotage
some of the other featured work. He stole one painting, then panics
and leaves a second painting crooked. Because the Shaun White debacle
was so distracting, no one even noticed the artist’s sneaky moves!
Creative Process: I took the very first thing that came to my mind
(something along the lines of money being stolen from behind a paint-
ing, leaving it crooked, etc.) and do something different. Most of

Reflection on the idea generation process: To come up with alternatives
uses for a refrigerator, I began looking around the room and tried to
force myself to associate items with a refrigerator. For example, I
saw a coat, and then thought it could be hung in the refrigerator (in
this case used as a closet). I tried to figure out what uses refrig-
erators had with regards to their exterior, interior, weight, size,
height, color (assumed white like mine at home), texture, and func-
tionality. I began thinking about this blog topic in the same way we
do many of the in-class assignments.

to catch myself before I fell
Dream 2 | January 27, 2010: I had almost the same dream as the night
before. I cannot remember too much of the details but I remember the
slipping feeling or the losing control and then literally flinching to
catch myself.
Dream 3 | January 28, 2010: My Uncle George, who I do not see fre-
quently, and my cousin Neil, who I see all the time, were arguing about
Apple’s new iPad. My Uncle George said he really liked it and didn’t
seem to care what Neil had to day. My Uncle was convinced that it was
an incredible useful new tool that was intended for his generation,
and not Neil’s (age 22).
Later on that night, I dreamt I was at my high school friend Ryan’s
house. He was having a small party with a bunch of other kids I went
to high school with. All I can remember is there was a broken cookie
on the floor and my friend Susan kept talking about how good the pizza
looked. I remember being annoyed with her and kept telling her just
to eat it. She refused a number of times and I soon lost interest in
the pizza situation.
Dream 4 | January 30, 2010: My ex-boyfriend and I were talking after
not seeing each other for some time. He has a new girlfriend now, and
he told me that he just recently cheated on her. She was somehow in-
dreaming
corporated into this dream and I remember her not looking very happy.
She didn’t say anything, but her mannerisms suggested she knew about
what he had done.
Dream 5 | February 1, 2010: I got a job as a first-grade teacher. I
took the job without knowing anything about teaching, anything about

the school or the students, and without knowing the salary informa-
tion. I just took it.
Dream 6 | February 3, 2010: I had some sort of feeling that I was be-
ing attacked or that I was in some sort of danger. It wasn’t too over-
whelming and I wasn’t necessarily scared. When I woke up I couldn’t
really remember any details. I simply had a recollection of the emo-
tions I felt while I was dreaming.
Dream 7 | February 15, 2010: I dreamt about watching the WIE pre-
sentations (again) and one person was presenting and said something
that was incorrect. I think the presenter referred to a hard drive
as internal when it should have been called an external hard drive.
None of this really makes sense to me, but the girl sitting in front
of me (who was not anyone who is actually in the class, she was just
some random person) quickly turned around and made a remark about the
presenter being wrong.
