Answer:

According to Hall's cognitive dream theory, Catherine's positive view of the bright sun represents her conception of the sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

In addition to Freud, Calvin Hall also presented his theory about dreams. He thinks that the dream is nothing more than the expression, through images, of the thoughts we compose during the night. A kind of comic strip of what our minds "discover" while sleeping. For this reason, we can say that for Hall, the positive image of the sun in Catherine's dream represents the concept of sun for her.

Hall believed that during dreams we think, and naturally we think about our problems, our fears, our conditions. We do a kind of analysis of ourselves, we focus our intellectual energy on us. These thoughts are translated into images, and their unfolding before our eyes puts us in the same situation as someone who, by some device, could be inside the person who dreams and, thus, see what that person thinks about him same.
