Dreams
Sigmund Freud developed dream analysis as a way to explore his patients’ unconscious. He started with analyzing himself and used his own dreams to construct his dream analysis theory. Freud believed that everything we dream is pre-programmed by the unconscious life and death instincts we each carry within ourselves and that these are a major motivating force of our lives (Schultz & Schultz, 2017).
Current dream research, carried out by the Sigmund Freud Institute, has found an objective way to assess dreams. Because many psychoanalysts follow Freud’s beliefs that dreams are a repository of our unconscious knowledge, a study was conducted into this theory. The preliminary results suggested that dreams can be assessed objectively, thus merging psychoanalysis with the neurosciences (Fischmann, Russ, Leuzinger-Bohleber 2013).
Personally, I have always experienced vivid, sometimes traumatic dreams. I understand that this is common for the Advocate personality (see Neris Analytics test) and I am aware that my dream activity escalates when I am worried or nervous about an upcoming event in my real life. My unconscious seems to be a veritable factory for producing vivid dream images and concepts. Therefore, I believe in Sigmund Freud’s dream analysis theory that our dreams are a result of suppressed instincts in our unconscious. Do your dreams point out stressors in your daily life? Do you dream about having MS?
