Dream interpretation

Dreams are the one thing in the world that everyone has in common. No matter where one is from, he or she has undoubtedly dreamt while sleeping. What separates these unconscious encounters is how each individual interprets them. In Sigmund Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams, he claims that dreams act as wish fulfilment. While many may agree, the argument backing up this point of view is quite unreliable. Freud’s take on why people dream cannot be taken as fact because not all dreams are…

Theory, Barry talks about Freudian interpretations and how most Freudian interpretations deal with assigning sexual attributions to objects. Barry proceeds to give an example of Freudian interpretation by imagining a dream about a Roman soldier and what this soldier may represent to the dreamer. What may be an innocent dream about a father-like figure, or a heroic figure, turns into something of a sexual nature when inserting Freud's psychoanalytic interpretation. What are Barry's criticisms…

Thesis Page I chose dreaming patterns and interpretations because it is a topic that has interested me for as long as I can remember. What do they mean and where do they come from? I was always fascinated by these movies that played in our heads while we are sleeping and wondered how people with physical and mental disorders dream, and if they dream differently. Are there any pattern variations from the people without disabilities, and how does this affect the presentation of the symbols? My…

to develop a valid dream interpretation, Freud’s interpretations, at his time, were quite convincing due to his effort to form a scientific-like explanation for them and avoid making abstract theories. For example, in The Interpretation of Dreams (1900a), he argues that “every dream is a wish which is represented as fulfilled, that the representation acts as a disguise if the wish is a repressed one, belonging to the unconscious, and that except in the case of children’s dreams only an…

Dreams are mysterious things that people try to understand. Some think that dreams have meaning, whether others think they mean nothing at all. In my opinion, dreams can relate to what you thought about or what you did during the day, but I do not think they have a meaning. You can relate your dreams to things you did if you try to, but I think this means that you are giving your dreams meaning because you want them to mean something. I talked to others to see if they had a similar opinion on…
