He doesn't mind the heat. He welcomes it! According to Hall's cognitive dream theory, Charles' positive view of the bright sun represents his _____ of the sun.
-conception
-interpretation
-perception

Answer 1

When Charles stands at the backyard enjoying the feeling of the sun's summer rays on his skin and welcomes the heat, his positive view of the bright sun represents his conception of the sun. In this specific case, it would most likely be a part of the main cognitive structures called "conceptions of the world". The main idea of Hall's cognitive theory is that dreams are thoughts displayed in the mind's private theater as visual concepts.

Answer 2

conception

Step-by-step explanation:

Hall's theory of cognitive dreams states that our dreams express the conception we have of people, objects, situations, concepts, factors and even the conception of ourselves.

In relation to this, we can say that if Charles dreams that he is walking in the sunlight and that he feels that the sun is pleasant and gives him a good feeling, it means that this is his conception of the sun.

In other words, for Charle, the sun is pleasant and feels gratifying.
