1 What we can recognize and describe at the level of consciousness is what we usually say and what I dreamed: I dreamed of drinking water and being chased. This kind of meaning is called the manifestation of dreams.
The meaning of dreams is not only explicit, but also implicit. This is also what we are most interested in, which is what we usually say. What does this dream I had represent?
Although Freud was the most reasonable and accurate person to explore the implied meaning of dreams, Freud was not the first person to explore the implied meaning of dreams.
As mentioned earlier, the dreams that generally make us inexplicable are all conflicts from the subconscious level, which often stimulate our sleep. Therefore, the dream is disguised by the gatekeeper's examination and enters our consciousness level, thus becoming a dream.
But what is the relationship between the explicit meaning and the implicit meaning of dreams? How to interpret our dreams from their relationship?
Next, I will begin to introduce one of our dream interpretation skills: free association method (to supplement the introduction of free association method)
The desire brought by the conflict in the dream is usually not accepted by us because of the constraints of common sense, morality and social rules, and is suppressed because it is not accepted by us. Only in dreams can they enter our consciousness.
Officially, because they are not accepted by us, this non-acceptance comes from the subconscious level, so even when we are most awake, when we mention something related to this wish again, we will do our best to oppose, refuse, refuse to admit, and even shout loudly, no, impossible, these ideas can't be mine. Even things related to these ideas are trying to be rejected (add some examples about action inversion and slip of the tongue).
Based on the above judgment, we should follow three laws when we interpret dreams by free association method, and these three laws are also the places where we are most prone to make mistakes.
1 No matter what the superficial meaning of dreams is, whether it is reasonable, absurd, clear or vague, it is by no means the material that really causes us to dream in our subconscious. (Subconscious wishes are not accepted, but they must be disguised) (Supplementary examples)
The way we interpret dreams is free association, and we don't have to consider whether the materials appearing in free association look reasonable or far from the elements that express meaning in dreams.
Sometimes it doesn't matter even if Lenovo stops, it's because we are rejecting it. All we have to do is wait patiently for the subconscious material to appear naturally (Monaco).
It doesn't matter how many things you can remember from your dreams and whether they are accurate or not, because they are not all in subconscious dreams, but just a substitute.
Admitting all relevant things without any criticism, even if they seem trivial, meaningless or embarrassing, is not a reason to stop us from being associated with dreams.
The motivation of resistance is not certain for different elements, and there is a quantitative change degree according to different elements, big or small. For example, when we analyze children's dreams (cruise ships), sometimes we can get the answer through single or several associations. And when we associate some dreams, we need to overcome one resistance and criticism after another. Therefore, the smaller the degree of resistance, the smaller the difference between the elements in the consciousness and the real elements in the subconscious, and the greater the difference on the contrary.
Let's explain these problems by analyzing some dreams.
The manifestation of dreams is the substitution and intention of subconscious materials. It's just in our consciousness or in disguise. Because we have long forgotten what specific image it comes from.
