Being a procrastinator, I don't really have time to post the whole thing, so I'll just ask some basic questions, some may even be a matter of opinion.

1. The essay is comparing two passages and stating a common belief of both authors about dreams. So, I'm quite sick of writing "the author," or both of the authors' names. Do you think I should mix it up? Like, say "the author" in one sentence, and the name in another, or should I stick with one?

I will probably add more questions as I go along. Any suggestions are welcome.

You should pick a term and use it as consistantly as you can. Use the author's name, as a generic term like 'the author' can end up being ambiguous.

So it should be "King says ..." "Jordan believes ..."

That kind of thing.

i agree... since you're referring to two different authors throughout the piece, you really do have to use the names, as tb advises...
