Freud’s views on dreams
One of (in my opionion) the greatest psychologists in all of our history Sigmund Freud; did allot of work with dream analasys.
Here are Freud’s main points:
- Displacement:This occurs when the desire for one thing or person is symbolized by something or someone else.
- Projection:This happens when the dreamer propels their own desires and wants onto another person.
- Symbolization:This is characterized when your repressed urges or suppressed desired or acted out metaphorically.
- Condensation:This is the process in which the dreamer hides their feelings or urges by contracting it or underplaying it into a brief dream image or event. The meaning of this dream imagery may not be apparent or obvious.
- Rationalization:This is seen as the final stage of dreamwork where the dreaming mind organizes an incoherent dream into one that is more comprehensible and logical. Also known as secondary revision.
Freud was particularly preoccupied with sexual content in dreams (who said psychologists can’t be dirty bastards). Sex was found to be the root cause of what was happening in our dreams. He believed that every long slender or elongated objects (i.e.. knives, cigars) represent the penis, while any cavity or receptacle (bowls, caves, tunnels) denotes the female genitalia.
A post coming up within the next few days putting these above theories into practice and seeing what happens.
