INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Choose text that is large and clear to see. Make sure that it is visible from the back of the room you'll be presenting in. It should be clear, easy to read and not blending into the background used. The references can even be placed below the slide, making them easily findable should you send the slides to people by email. They make it hard to read the text. If you feel you must use a picture as a background, use a transparency behind your text so it is easy to read, and have your text and your transparency contrasting colors. To do this, right click the text box, click on format placeholder, and change the fill to a color and make it transparent. (Around 70-80% transparency works well) On the other hand, pictures in the background catch the reader's attention and makes your presentation look professional. However, make sure that the words contrast with the background. Also, find large pictures that aren't blurry. Try searching up vector. Remember the 5 by 5 rule. Five bullets with less than 5 words each. Please, no long paragraphs or slide long quotes! Don't over-exaggerate your animations, slide-ins work really well for bullets. Don't try to mix it up because then it will look sloppy. Note: just because you should stick to one slide transition does not mean that you should only stick to one animation.

SUMMARY: Use the appropriate size for the text. Instead of citing your sources all on one slide, cite the sources you referenced as you present them throughout the PowerPoint presentation. Try not to use pictures as a background. Use graphs and tables to show your information often, but not too often. Use short sentences and phrases, keep your text short. Only use animations for emphasis. If you use slide transitions, stick to only one.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dream dictionaries are interesting to read, but you shouldn't use them as a definitive source. Like horoscopes, they're mainly useful as a vague psychological reference to kickstart your own observations. However, reading up on the symbols (like dolls) that have been appearing in your dream might lend you some perspective. The action of the doll is as important as the symbol of the doll. A passive doll that is being played with by someone you dislike is completely different from a doll that comes alive and walks around. The doll could represent you in the dream. For example, if it came alive, that may symbolize the fact that you want to "wake up" into a new life. A doll being played with by someone you dislike could indicate you're feeling used or annoyed by that person. If you're playing with the doll, that could show that you are having a conflict with yourself, as you are playing with the doll, while at the same time, the doll could represent your subconscious. The background to the doll can also help you decide what the doll symbolizes. For example, dollhouses may symbolize your desire to have a family or your focus on your family life. Alternatively, a dollhouse could symbolize that you want to be more in control of your life. If you wrote down the emotions you were feeling when you woke up, use that to guide your interpretation of the dream. If you woke up feeling ecstatic, for instance, that's very different from waking up feeling anxious or disappointed. For example, if you doll comes alive but you wake up feeling anxious, that could mean your life is going in a new direction that you feel anxious about.

SUMMARY:
Use dream dictionaries as guidance. Think about what the doll was doing. Pay attention to the background. Put the dream in emotional context.
