Gothic Theme Furniture
Stephan Teak asked:
Gothic is both a theme and attitude that pervades society to this day. Gothic theme furniture is an example of this as is its continued popularity.
This is a theme that all of us have seen at the movie theaters. In those really scary movies where some ghost is haunting the old mansion where no one in their right mind would ever spend the night, the furnishing are usually going to be a good example of Gothic Theme Furniture. The theme actually has a long and storied history, and was not designed in Hollywood as a set decoration for B grade horror movies.
The Gothic period began around 1150, and was the first break from the classical themes of Rome and Greece that had been the benchmark for Western Culture for thousands of years. This time has been called the middle Ages, and also the Dark Ages, and it was marked by a large gap between the rich and the poor. Furniture for the poor was makeshift and functional, and furniture for the rich was classical. At this time, however, a unique and definitely non-classical theme was emerging. It began, as did many things at this time, in the Church. From the beginning, it consisted of heavily carved and ornately decorated motifs.
As the theme moved from the Church to the homes of an emerging middle class of merchants, and minor nobles, it retained much of the religious themes that marked the early Church connection. Other motifs were heraldic symbols like griffins, lions, and hawks. Floral themes were popular and the royal Fleur-de-lis was also used often. The name Gothic referred to the barbarians of the north, the Goths, and was first applied to the theme as an uncomplimentary reference to its break from the classic themes of the past. Many of the emerging middle class, especially the minor nobles, were very mobile during this period. They were forced to move from home to home, and Castle to Castle, following their lord, or going to war. This led to the introduction of chests and cabinets that could be easily loaded and transported. The armoire for clothes storage and the buffet for the storage of eating utensils made their debuts during this period. Tables with drawers were also introduced during this period.
Bedroom furniture consisted of large four poster beds with elaborate backboards and posts. The carvings were often of Gargoyles and other mythical creatures that served to scare away evil spirits, and were borrowed from the churches where the theme began. Other accessories associated with religious themes served as further decoration. These included stained glass windows, and ornate candelabras.
The theme gave way to the Renaissance period, and because of the enlightened thinking of the period, it fell into disfavor. It was the beginning of the idea of separating the religious and the secular, and Gothic was too religious for the taste of the emerging free thinking classes of the time. In 1840, in the United States and Great Britain, the theme had a revival. It became popular during the Victorian period, and a large number of items were produced that were very identical to the original pieces. As in the past, oak was the most popular material used, although other woods were sometimes used as well. Most of the antique pieces found today date from this period as an original piece from the medieval period would be very rare and valuable. In addition to it popularity in those old films, the theme is having a bit of a second revival today with reproduction Gothic pieces becoming more available. They are used as accessories most often, although some homes are being decorated in the theme complete with the gloomy light of stained glass windows. If it does nothing else, it will certainly please any stray ghosts that might be lingering about the home.

Why Movie Directors Use Recurring Dreams
Leslie Halpern asked:
The worst part about nightmares is their tendency to repeat themselves. An isolated nightmare may not be cause for alarm, but recurrent nightmares with the same theme become quite troubling for most dreamers. The same is true with movie dream sequences. Directors use the emotional impact of recurring nightmares to ensure that characters deal with hidden fears and imminent dangers.
Throughout the ages, recurring dreams were given more credence than single dreams. Even in the Old Testament, Joseph’s dreams occur in pairs, which increase their importance and command the dreamer’s attention. His dreams about his brothers’ sheaves bowing down to his sheaves, and the other dream in which the sun, the moon and eleven stars bow to him are essentially the same. These recurring dreams may have represented unfulfilled wishes or unresolved problems in Joseph, but they had a nightmarish quality for his brothers who plotted to kill the egocentric dreamer in case the dreams were prophetic.
In an essay written 20 years after the publication of his landmark book “The Interpretation of Dreams” in 1900, Sigmund Freud wrote that only one exception exists to his central idea of dream as wish fulfillment: Recurring dreams of a trauma are not considered wish fulfillment, but are attempts to gain control over the trauma so the pleasure principle can begin.
Carl Jung also gave recurring dreams a higher priority, attaching little significance to the interpretation of single dreams. With a series of dreams, however, Jung said interpretations are more accurate because later dreams correct earlier mistakes.
Movie directors often adapt this idea of unresolved issues becoming recurrent nightmares by using increasingly horrific elements in each dream until the matter is resolved.
In the fantasy film “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” Harry’s recurrent dreams all take place in the same location with the same characters and have the same theme, yet their presentations differ greatly and therefore produce different emotions in the viewer. Each dream provides a little more information and provokes a little more fear, until Harry eventually visits the scene of his dreams in his waking life. Only then can his nightmares come to an end.
Likewise in “Sleepy Hollow” (a mixture of Gothic romance, mystery thriller, and grisly horror film), Ichabod Crane is a man of science forced to come to terms with his fear of the supernatural through a series of frightening events in his life that trigger recurring nightmares of his past. Each dream provides another piece of the character’s psychological puzzle. When Ichabod bridges the gap between science and superstition, he frees himself of his nightmares.
In the psychological thriller “Marnie,” a young woman has a multitude of phobias including recurrent nightmares caused by a repressed trauma from her childhood. As each dream reveals more of her background, they also increase in their horrifying intensity. Until these issues are addressed, analyzed, and conquered, she is held hostage by her past, unable to fully love herself or those around her.
The most famous (and most recurring) movies about recurring dreams are those from the “Nightmare on Elm Street” series. In these horror films, dream-linking teenagers must fight off a dead, disfigured child killer who comes alive in dreams so he can kill more children. These dreams are horrifying due to their content, repetition, and because all the teenagers dream of the same fiend: Freddy Krueger. One of the basic rules of dream sequences in movies, of course, is that if more than one person has the same dream, then it must be true.
Troubling and terrifying recurring dreams are plentiful on the silver screen, particularly in the horror, science fiction, fantasy, and mystery thriller genres. For a quick sampling of other characters struggling with their unresolved issues through recurring dreams, watch “In Dreams” (horror), “Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones” (science fiction), “Eragon” (fantasy), and “The Talented Mr. Ripley” (thriller).
Although the best directors strive for producing the greatest emotional impact in viewers and stretching the limits of cinematic sorcery in their dream sequences, it’s worth mentioning that lesser directors sometimes use recurring dream sequences merely as a means of providing a back story for the characters without a lot of boring narrative. In a well-made movie, the artistic aspects of dream sequences are equally balanced with the practical need to tell the full story.
