Interpretation of Dreams
5. Materials and Sources of Dreams
5-1 Recent trivial events in dreams
A recent and spiritually significant experience presented directly in the dream
Several recent and meaningful experiences unite into a single whole in the dream
One or several recent and meaningful experiences manifest themselves in a dream as a concurrent but insignificant content
An internal and meaningful experience always appears in a dream as a recent but insignificant impression.
5-2 Childhood experiences in dreams
Childhood experiences that you don’t want to remember tend to appear in dreams
Dream wishes can be traced back to the fulfillment of desires in childhood
The ultimate meaning of dreams is mostly related to negative childhood experiences
The manifest meaning of dreams is related to recent experiences, and the latent meaning of dreams is related to earliest (childhood) experiences.
5-3 Sources of physical stimulation in dreams
Sensory stimulation caused by foreign objects
internally induced sensory stimulation
Dreams are not purely caused by mental stimulation, they are the result of physiological stimulation.
If you feel physically uncomfortable during sleep, the dream will fulfill some suppressed wish.
Are dreams protectors rather than disruptors of sleep?
Countering the censorship function legitimizes dreams and weakens the critical function, thereby assisting the progression of dreams and sleep.
5-4 Typical dreams
Generally speaking, the key to dream interpretation is the dreamer's willingness to communicate his subconscious thoughts
Embarrassing dream of nakedness
The core of the nudity dream lies in the current image of the dreamer and his lack of clothing.
Dreams about the death of loved ones
The first type is indifferent in the dream, and is surprised by the lack of emotion after waking up.
Deliberately concealing other desires
The second type is those who feel deeply sad for their loved ones in the dream, and even cry endlessly.
Hidden hostility toward relatives in childhood
Boys are jealous of their fathers and girls are jealous of their mothers, which is related to sexual initiation objects
Jealousy of siblings, which is associated with parental favoritism
Other typical dreams
Flying dream, falling dream, tooth extraction dream
related to childhood experiences
Freud maintained that the tactile and kinesthetic senses in dreams are aroused immediately only when there is any mental reason to use them, and when there is no need for them, they are ignored.
exam dream
Anxiety dreams, the anxiety produced in dreams actually originates from experiences during the day
Driven by a sense of responsibility, the dreamer will have this kind of dream if he has a responsible activity the next day and is afraid of not completing the task.
Dreams usually refer to exams that have been passed
William Stekel was the first to interpret the dream of going to college as being related to sexual experience and sexual maturity.
6. Dream work
The manifest meaning of dreams - scenes, images, possibly illogical, is expressed in various forms (mechanisms)
The hidden meaning of dreams - symbols, concepts, logic, dream-thoughts. Only by understanding the hidden meaning of dreams can we deduce the meaning of dreams.
6-1 Condensation mechanism
Every element in a dream has a lot of meaning
The character in the dream is a combination of the characteristics of multiple characters
Most of the words in dreams are put together subconsciously.
In psychology, the subconscious usually refers to those mental activities and processes that occur outside the scope of our conscious awareness. This concept is sometimes used as a synonym for the unconscious, but in Freud's theory, the subconscious is not synonymous with the unconscious. Freud distinguished between the unconscious and the subconscious. He believed that the unconscious is those repressed desires and conflicts, while the subconscious contains memories and experiences that are not currently conscious but can be recalled. In the broader field of psychology, subconscious activity may include our intuitive reactions, habitual behaviors, and those mental processes that we are not fully aware of but that influence our decisions and behaviors. For example, we may have a strong liking or disliking for a person or situation without even realizing it. This emotional reaction may be subconscious. Subconscious activities are an important part of our mental life, and they guide our behavior in many situations, even though we may not be fully aware of their existence.
Condensation is achieved through omission. The dream does not achieve a complete translation of the dream thoughts, nor is it a point-to-point projection, but only an incomplete and fragmented copy.
Omit method
Collective image - characters become representatives of certain characters
Composite image - combining the real characteristics of multiple people into a single dream image
6-2 Relocation mechanism
The multiplicity of dreams determines the function and determines what content can enter this function. Generally, it is not an important factor in making up a dream.
The condensation and displacement of dreams can essentially be said to be two decisive factors in the form of dream activity.
Through displacement, the dream content and the core of the dream thought are different.
6-3 Means of Dream Expression
Every dream involves the dreamer, no exceptions
The change from the manifest meaning of dreams to the latent meaning of dreams
Treat two elements with obvious alternatives as equally valid elements and connect them with "and"
One thing that dreams particularly like to do is to combine opposing parts into a unity, or to represent them as the same thing, which can express the concept of "no"
"reverse"
cause and effect reversed
The status level is reversed
Movements reversed up and down, left and right
"on the contrary"
The reality situation is opposite to the dream situation
Clarity of Dream Elements
The spiritual intensity of an element is equal to the spiritual value of the element. The elements with the strongest intensity together form the core of the dream.
Spiritual Value >> Mental Strength >> Expression of Desire >> Condensation Effect
The clearest and strongest elements in dreams are the starting points for the richest associations.
The elements that express themselves most strongly in dreams are those that require a lot of condensation.
Doubts about reality can lead to blurry dreams
Clarity of dream passages—confusion
Dream means "no"
The feeling of inhibited movement represents a conflict of wills, such as motor paralysis
"Dream within a dream", the dream has a kind of negativity to reality. The dream within the dream is the negation of negation, so it very clearly affirms this real memory.
6-4 Embodiment mechanism
It is easy to produce concrete things in dreams, but it is difficult to produce abstract things.
Displacement
one element replaces another element
The linguistic form of one element replaces the linguistic form of another element
Analysis of dream elements
1. Does it take a negative or positive meaning? (For example, some kind of antagonistic relationship)
2. Is it an explanation of history and the past (such as memories)
3. Is it a symbolic interpretation?
4. Whether its interpretation relies on its literal meaning
6-5 Dream Symbols
Symbols and Symbols
Healthy people's dreams have clear content and very specific symbols. The dreams of neurotic patients are good at disguising and symbolize a wide range of unpredictability.
6-6 Some Dream Examples—Calculation and Speech in Dreams
Numbers and calculations in dreams inspire dream interpretation
Numbers will symbolize specific "time", "age", etc.
Calculation is illogical, but it can be used for association, such as "enlarging" and "reducing" certain values.
6-7 Absurd dreams—rational activities in dreams
Dream work is a deliberate attempt to create absurdity
Absurd dreams represent an extreme negative emotion
6-8 Emotions in dreams
Dreams are representations of human subconsciousness
Emotions in dreams undergo a complex process of deletion, reduction, and inversion
6-9 The embellishment of dreams
Systematizing the disorganized material in dreams to conceal the truth
Increasing the coherence of dreams makes explicit dreams a rationalized surface phenomenon
7. The Psychology of Dreams
7-1 The forgetfulness of dreams
The more the content in the dream conflicts with the concept of reality, the easier it is to be forgotten.
7-2 Regression phenomenon
The body has a certain amount of organic memory, which is also a component of dreams.
Regression also occurs during pathological waking conditions
7-3 Satisfaction of desires
Organize unconscious desires and release them safely
7-4 Awakening from a dream—the function of dreams—anxiety dreams
Dream is the beginning of awakening
Subconscious desires are always active
The mental process that creates anxiety is also the satisfaction of a desire
7-5 Primary process and secondary process - repression
The original process is the unconscious mental activity under unconsciousness.
Secondary processes are mental activities when the brain is fully awake
Dreams are a manifestation of suppressed material
7-6 Subconsciousness and Consciousness - Realization
Consciousness is a subjective phenomenon directly experienced by an individual
The subconscious cannot reason, we cannot detect the subconscious
The source of dreams is always what happened in the past and cannot predict the future.
4. The disguise of dreams
The disguise of dreams is subconscious self-protection
Two mental forces, desire and inspection
Dreamers do not express dream thoughts directly during sleep
The purpose of emotions in dreams is to hide the true meaning of the dream
Dealing with audits
Identity equality
multiple meanings
Displacement
empathy
A dream is the (disguised) fulfillment of a (suppressed or repressed) desire
The origin of anxiety dreams often has another source. The libido with sexual content has been transformed into anxiety.
Libido: sexual power, "love impulse" generally refers to the pleasure of all body organs. p.s. Sex under this category is not sex in the physiological and anatomical sense, let alone reproductive sex.
Classic dream example: A woman hopes to see the lover of her dreams and dreams that her only nephew has died.
3. Dreams are the fulfillment of desires
Dreams are egoistic
Every dream has at least one meaning and one spiritual value
Dream displays of desire are often straightforward and undisguised.
Thirst dreams, urgent urination dreams, getting up dreams
2. Interpretation of dreams
2-1 Early methods of dream interpretation
"Symbolic method": Treat the dream as a whole and seek the replacement of something (artistic type)
"Decoding Method": Treat dreams as a code system and decipher each symbol (mechanical type)
2-2 Freud’s interpretation of dreams
People's reason will criticize their own thoughts
Schiller: Taken in isolation, an idea may seem trivial or absurd, but if it is followed by another idea, it becomes important, and if combined with other ideas that may seem equally absurd, it may form the most effective link. The intellect cannot form any opinion upon these, unless it retains the thought long enough to consider it in connection with other thoughts.
Everything in the dream can find its counterpart in reality
Dreams are the fulfillment of unrealized desires in reality
1. Dream literature
1-1 The relationship between dreams and waking
Sleep corresponds to physiology
Dreams correspond to psychology
1-2 Dreams come from existing experiences
daily chores
childhood experience
1-3 Stimuli and Sources
external sensory stimulation
internal sensory stimulation
Somatic stimulation of the internal body
source of stimulation
1-4 Why is one forgotten after waking up from a dream?
The conceptual material in the dream appears in a different order, making it impossible to interpret the dream clearly while awake.
Dreams are fragmented and incoherent (The subtext is that because dreams are discontinuous, using self-logic to complete the memory while awake will create the illusion that the dream has been forgotten)
1-5 Psychological characteristics of dreams
Daydreams correspond to thinking, dreams correspond to experiences
In dreams, hallucinations turn into memories
In dreams, the subjective activities of the mind appear in objective form, Therefore, dreams that accompany sleep can only occur in a state where self-authority is weakened.
1-6 The sense of morality that exists in dreams
Schopenhauer believed that any person's behavior in a dream is completely consistent with his waking personality.
Moral sense is a kind of thinking. Thinking makes the brain active. Dreams are subordinate to sleep and should serve people's rest and relaxation. Therefore, in the environment of sleep, moral sense should be weakened.
Hildebrandt discovered that these sources of immorality enter the dreamer's mind during the day in the guise of temptation.
Kant believes that dreams hide the nature of dreams
To sum up, dreams can reflect people’s true nature, but they may not be all
Strickler believes that dream scenes can be imagined, but the emotions are real.
1-7 Dream Theory and Dream Functions
The first category, the theory of Delbeve and others, maintains that dreams are entirely composed of mental activities. They believe that the mind does not fall asleep, and its structure remains intact; while its normal functions during sleep will produce different results. However, these theories do not propose the function of dreams, nor clarify the structure and mechanism of dreams. The first type of theory is based on the paranoid model.
The second category, contrary to the first category, believes that dreams are low-level mental activities, an incoherent series of associations, and the material that can be obtained from them is extremely scarce. It explores the effects of sleep on the mind, but pays scant attention to dreams. The second type of theory is based on intellectual deficits or patterns of insanity.
The third category, this type of theory believes that the dreaming mind has an ability or tendency that can realize most or all of the special mental activities that cannot be realized in waking life. The function and value of dreams are discussed. Most evaluations by early psychologists fell into this category.
