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.
