In 1997,[70] Joe Griffin published a new theory to explain dreams, which later became known as the
expectation fulfilment theory of dreams. After years of research on his own dreams and those of others, he found that
dreaming serves to discharge the emotional arousals (however minor) that haven't been expressed during the day, thus
freeing up space in the brain to deal with the emotional arousals of the next day and allowing instinctive urges
to stay intact. In effect, the expectation is fulfilled, i.e. the action is 'completed', in the dream but in a
metaphorical form, so that a false memory is not created. The theory satisfactorily explains why dreams are usually
forgotten immediately afterwards: as Griffin suggests, far from being "the cesspit of the unconscious", as Freud
proclaimed, dreaming is the equivalent of the flushed toilet.
The most common type of home run involves hitting the ball over the outfield fence, or above a line on the outfield fence specifically designed to indicate a home run, in flight, in fair territory, without it being caught or deflected back by an outfielder into the playing field. This is sometimes called a home run "out of the ballpark", although that term is frequently used to indicate a blow that completely clears any outfield seating, as a home run is usually automatically assumed to have left the field of play unless otherwise indicated. A batted ball that hits the ground (in fair territory) and bounces out of play is not a home run, but an "automatic double" in most stadiums (colloquially called a ground rule double).
A batted ball is also considered a home run if the ball touches any of the following while in flight, even if the ball subsequently rebounds back onto the playing field:
