Lecture 7? Stimulating source of dreams
Click here to listen to pronunciation (Lecture 7)
People's sleep stimulation comes from three aspects: first, environmental impact; The second is physiological influence; The third is the influence of problem consciousness. This is also the source of stimulation of dreams.
? Environmental impact comes from outside, such as sound, burning smell, strong light, cold wind, etc. Physiological effects come from the body, such as joint pain, internal diseases, semen growth, defecation, etc. The influence of active brain cells is mainly conscious. The influence of problem consciousness comes from the pressure of reality. In daily life, it is transmitted to the brain through nerve stimulation of various organs, forming impressions of things such as color (optic nerve stimulation), sound (auditory nerve stimulation), fragrance (olfactory nerve stimulation), taste (taste nerve stimulation) and feeling (tactile nerve stimulation). These nerve stimuli deepen the sulcus of the brain and form the consciousness of memory, thinking and imagination.
First, the environmental impact and external stimulation of dreams.
Interpretation of Dreams describes such a "dream of a burning corpse" (dream example): a father stayed by the bed day and night when his child was dying. After the child died, he went to lie down in the next room, but left the door connecting the two rooms open so that he could see the room where the child was placed and the candles lit around him. He also asked an old man to look after the body and pray in a low voice there. After sleeping for several hours, my father dreamed that the child was standing by his bed, holding his arm and blaming him in a low voice: "Dad, don't you know I'm on fire?" He woke up to find a dazzling flame burning in the next room. When he rushed over, he found that the waiting old gentleman was asleep, and a lighted candle fell, burning the cloth around him and an arm of his beloved child.
The "burning corpse" is caused by environmental stimuli. Fire stimulates the nerves of the eyes and spreads to the central nervous system. The explanation given by the central nervous system is "the body is on fire". Why should the central nervous system explain? Why does the central nervous system give such an explanation? Let's briefly analyze the image in the dream: the child refers to the father's good wishes; Bed refers to privacy; Grab his arm and attach yourself; Blame refers to a person's guilt for not saving a child's life; Burning means that good wishes are being burned. This series of image interpretation is what we call dream interpretation, which reflects the two kinds of pressure of the child's father. One is the guilt of not saving the child, or even the child died; Second, my good wishes are being burned, reflecting my sad state of mind after losing my child.
Why should the central nervous system give an explanation? This is why we dream, and this problem will be solved in the future. Why does the central nervous system give such an explanation? First of all, the father of the child has subconsciously realized that the child has left himself, and he is unwilling to admit this reality, thus dreaming that the child is still alive, which is in line with the reality that he is unwilling to admit that the child is dead; On the other hand, children are his spiritual pillar. The loss of a child led to the sudden collapse of his spiritual pillar, and the image of fire fits well. Here, "fire" is the image of destruction, and the father's heart burns because of the loss of his child.
It can be seen that dreams stimulated by external stimuli are called dreams because they conform to a certain state of mind of the dreamer. This also explains the source of dream materials. Some people can dream with slight stimulation, while others can't dream with strong stimulation. I have a friend who works on the Internet. He was strangled in his dream. Later, he asked me and told me that he woke up and found a corner of the quilt cover stuffed around his neck, but it was not particularly tight. I explained that it was because of my career and I was afraid of being led by others. He admits that many of his people want to open a special edition, but he is worried that it will make his network a tool for others, so it is difficult. I also told him that there was a key image of a man in his neck. He was strangled and worried that his lover would stick too tightly. He told me that his lover has been insinuating that he wants to be with him forever, and he is dissatisfied with his lack of time to be with her. Both of these things made him feel strangled. Such a slight stimulus is called it because it meets his venting needs. But like lightning and thunder in summer, not everyone can introduce it into dreams. That's the reason.
The Interpretation of Dreams describes the dream of a French nanny described in a painting. Only the last painting shows that she was awakened by a child's crying. In other words, the first seven pictures are all stages of dreams. The first picture depicts the stimulus that should wake up the dreamer. The child has felt the need and asked for help. But in the dreamer's dream, they are not in the room. She is taking him for a walk. In the second picture, she took him to a corner of the street and let him pee-she could go back to sleep. But the stimulus to wake her up continued, and it really strengthened. The little boy shouted louder because he was ignored. The more he strengthened his voice and insisted that the nanny get up to help him, the more the dream promised that everything would be fine and she didn't have to wake up. At the same time, dreams have replaced the growing stimulation with more and more levels. The child's urine is getting worse and worse. In the fourth picture, it can float a small sampan, then a gondola, then a ship and a cruise ship. The talented painter clearly described the struggle between wanting to sleep and continuing to wake up the dreamer.
"Nanny dream" is caused by the increase of urine temperature and humidity of children, and it is also a dream caused by the stimulation of external environment. Let's analyze the image in the dream: water refers to emotion; A ship refers to itself or a family. Judging from the process of feeling that the child's urine volume is increasing, her sense of wandering will also increase, and her desire for stability has become her spiritual desire. How she hopes to have a stable life and can resist the storms of life! This is also the spiritual meeting point of the painter, which reflects his wandering sense of life and hopes to have a stable life. Please allow me to assume with this image first, because several examples in this chapter are all from dream interpretation, but there is no explanation of the spiritual fit of dreams, which is the key to dream interpretation. However, the assumption of this image is not groundless. Literature, painting, music, dance and calligraphy all have something in common. All great works, such as Picasso's, Van Gogh's and Da Vinci's paintings, integrate the author's fate and spirit into the works, give people vitality and strength, and show an exciting and positive spirit, thus winning readers' resonance.
Second, the physiological effect, dreams are stimulated in the body.
Freud had such a thirsty dream (an example of a dream): when he felt thirsty before going to bed, he drank the boiling water on the small table beside the bed and went to bed. But in the middle of the night, I felt sick because of thirst. If I want to drink more water, I have to get up and get a teacup from a small chair beside my wife's bed. Therefore, I dreamed that my wife brought me water from an urn. This urn is my collection from Kupang in western Italy. However, the water tastes salty (maybe there are ashes in it! ) That I had to wake up.
Desire comes from internal stimulation, and its spiritual meaning refers to the desire for achievement. Since 1890, he usually goes to Italy for consumption and tourism every year. He wanted to realize his "dream discovery" here, but after several visits, he got little. This is the mental distress of "thirst", and he has a feeling of "writing a book". Drinking water containing ashes is a sense of silence for his years of research and a desire for a new source.
Freud had such a "hunger dream" (an example of a dream): I came back from a trip, hungry and tired, and immediately fell asleep in bed, but this hunger led to the following dream: "I ran to the kitchen and wanted to find some sausages to eat. There are three women standing, one of whom is the hostess. She has something in her hand that looks like jiaozi or something. She asked me to wait a little longer and call me when she finished cooking. I didn't catch this sentence clearly in my dream. ) So I felt impatient and walked away unhappily. I wanted to put on my coat, but when I first put it on, I found it was too long, so I took it off again. At this time, I was surprised to find that this coat was covered with an expensive fur. Then I picked up another coat embroidered with Turkish patterns. At this moment, a stranger with a long face and a short beard told me that I couldn't take my coat. He said it was his. I told him that all the coats were embroidered with Turkish patterns, but he replied, "What can I do for you?" But soon we became very friendly again. "
Freud used a long association to explain this dream, and his words were vague and complicated. Let's look at this dream with images first: the kitchen refers to housework; Eating is the compensation of desire; Sausage refers to male genitalia; Three daughters refer to the three sub-personalities of wives; Jiaozi refers to sex; Let me point out my worries about my wife's social skills after cooking; Coat refers to a person's self-image, that is, pretending to be indifferent to his wife's social activities; Picking for too long, I feel that I can't wear a fake mask; The coat is covered with an expensive fur, revealing its original face-the animal side; A stranger with a long face and beard is worried about his wife's communication; What he said was exactly what Freud was worried about. Freud said, "But because of my personal relationship, I have to reserve something here", so we won't go into it here. But we know that because of the stimulation of "hunger" in the body, it has triggered spiritual thinking about the sexual life of family members and extended to their own worries.
Interpretation of Dreams describes a colleague's dream about nocturnal emission (an example of a dream): "I ran down the stairs (or the first floor apartment) and chased a girl, so I wanted to punish her for what she did to me. Someone stopped the girl (a big woman) at the stairs for me? ), I caught her, but I don't know if I hit her. Because I suddenly found myself having sex with my child in the middle of the stairs (as if floating in the air). This is not real sex. I just rubbed my genitals against her genitals. I saw them clearly at that time, and her head was almost turned over. In this sexual activity, I saw two small paintings hanging on my upper left (as if in the air)-a house with trees all around. Under the relatively small painting, there is no painter's name, only my name, which seems to be given. Then I saw the labels in front of the two paintings, saying that there are cheaper paintings. (Then I was very inconspicuous myself, as if I were lying in bed) and I woke up because of the dampness caused by nocturnal emission. "
The result of this dream is nocturnal emission, which is obviously a sexual dream. Because the extra semen in the dreamer stimulates the central nervous system, it is necessary to issue an order to relieve this mental stimulation. In the dream, two life materials were called, "Looking at pictures in the bookstore" and "The story of a slut making love on the stairs", which started from flirting and extended to direct sexual intercourse in the middle of the stairs until she reached a climax and completed the picture of making love. The second half is my own thinking, and this painting is also my own beautiful blueprint, that is, finding a home and having my own scenery, which is the higher spiritual pursuit of the dreamer.
Thirdly, the conscious influence and stress stimulation of dreams.
Interpretation of dreams Analysis of Yima's dream of injection (dream example): There is a hall where guests gather and Yima is in it. When I approached her, my first sentence was to ask her why she didn't accept my "method" so far. I said, "If you still feel pain, you can't blame me, it's your own fault!" " "She replied," You know, my throat, stomach and stomach have been torturing me recently! "
Only then did she find that she had become so pale and swollen that she could not help worrying that she might have overlooked some problems before. So he took her to the window and examined her throat by the light. Like a lady who often wears false teeth, she will inevitably open her mouth a little reluctantly. Actually, I don't think she needs this kind of examination. Results There was a large white spot on the right larynx, and there were many gray spots in other places, which looked like the "turbinate bone" in the nose.
So I quickly asked Dr. M to do another examination, which proved that it was the same as what I saw. ..... Dr. M looks different from usual today, pale, slightly lame and completely shaved. Now my friend Otto is standing next to Yima, and another doctor, Leopold, is auscultating her chest (her clothes are not unbuttoned) and says, "There is a voiced sound in the lower left chest." I also found a penetrating lesion on the skin of her left shoulder (although through clothes), and I can still feel the wound now. Dr. M said: "There is no doubt that this is caused by bacterial infection. No problem. As long as you pull your stomach, you can discharge the poison. " ..... We all know very well how this is done. Not long ago, Otto gave her an injection of trimethylamine (I can clearly see the structure in front of me). ...
In fact, people rarely use this medicine so rashly. It is very likely that the syringe was not clean enough at that time.
1, the concept of mental stimulation causing dreams. The "dream of Yima injection" belongs to the dream without environmental stimulation and internal stimulation, but it is not groundless, but the product of the backlog of mental stimulation to a certain extent. "Imma is not healed" has always been a stone in Freud's heart. First, Yima's family has been their good friends for many years. They have always sent their precious daughter Yima to Freud for treatment under the idea that Yima did not want to come to psychotherapy, so "Yima is not healed" has been plaguing the relationship with their family. The second is to worry about people who are opposed as examples of their incompetence. Especially after Otto saw Ima, the tone of a paragraph he said to himself clearly recognized that he was blaming himself. Third, I think that "one horse has not healed" is a blow to my medical theory. Moreover, my own disagreement with Dr. M, the gossip of Yima's relatives and Yima's own opposition all focus on whether she can cure Yima's illness. These accumulations have become their own mental pressure, which always bothers them.
2. The fuse of dreams. On the day of this dream, there were two things related to this. First, Mrs. Freud's birthday is the next day, and Yima is one of the list of his wife attending the party. Secondly, Freud wrote to Dr. M to report the treatment process of Ima, which became the fuse of the dream. These two events ignited the spiritual stimulation of "the righteous horse is not healed".
We tried to turn this dream into an image.
"I really want to show in front of everyone and the Imam that it is not my fault that the Imam has not recovered, but I am also worried about whether the Imam's illness is completely as I diagnosed it myself.
I found that she was so pale and powerless when arguing with me at ordinary times, and she was always unwilling to admit that her illness was caused by lack of sexual life. In order to solve her problem, I once led her to my heart and gave her a bright light, pointing out that her illness was due to sex, and she was always ashamed to admit it. In fact, I don't think I need to find other reasons or reflect on her illness. It is because of her sexual problems that she has lived a asexual life for a long time, which has caused prominent ideological contradictions. I hope this view can be endorsed by Dr. M.
Will my thoughts be pale in Dr. M's office? My diagnosis and treatment are the same as Otto's agility and Leopold's composure and carefulness. She is burdened with ideological pressure, I can see it from her appearance. Maybe Dr. M will be noncommittal, say something irrelevant like other quacks, and think that my treatment method of unloading the ideological burden is irrelevant, then we have facts as the basis, which I know very well.
Ideological problems should be treated with the right medicine. Maybe she has some dirty sex life, just like dirty needles can cause infection. "
4. The source of this image interpretation is the dream stage.
"I want to show in public that it is not my fault that the Imam is not cured" is the image of "the palace where guests gather";
"Worried about whether Yima's illness is exactly as I diagnosed it" is the image of "Yima said that she had a sore throat, stomachache and stomachache recently";
"the argument is so pale and weak" is the image of "she has become so pale and bloated";
"I have been reluctant to admit that her illness is due to lack of sexual life" is the image of "edema". She always refuses to admit it, so she pretends to be optimistic. I thought she was swollen and fat.
"I once led her to my window to solve her problem" is the image of "taking her to the window by light";
"and give her a bright light, pointing out that her illness is because of sex" is the image of "observing the throat with light";
"She is always ashamed to admit it" is the image of "just like an ordinary lady with false teeth";
In fact, I don't think I need to find other reasons or reflect on her illness.
"She has been sexually inactive for a long time and her thoughts are contradictory" is the image of "symptoms seen during examination";
"I hope this view can be recognized by Dr. M" is the image of "please ask Dr. M to have a check-up and prove that it is the same as what I saw";
"Will my thoughts become pale and feeble with Dr. M?" It is the image of "Dr. M is pale and slightly lame today";
"My diagnosis and treatment are the same as Otto's swiftness and Leopold's calmness and carefulness" is the image of "consultation process";
"She is burdened with ideological pressure, which I can see from her appearance" is the image of "there is a voiced voice on her left shoulder, touch this wound";
"Maybe Dr. M will be noncommittal, say something irrelevant like other quacks, and think that my treatment method of unloading the ideological burden is irrelevant" is the image of "what Dr. M said";
"Then we have facts as the basis, which I know very well" means "We all know very well how this image was made";
The image of "the problem of thinking should be the right medicine, maybe she has some unclean sex life, just like an unclean needle can lead to infection" is that "this medicine is rarely used rashly, and the syringe at that time was not clean enough".
5. Conclusion.
We think this dream is a "dream of self-expression".
In the first paragraph, Freud wanted to explain that "it's not my fault that the Imam didn't recover", which bothered Freud too much. "Imam is not cured" has affected Freud's interpersonal relationship, medical skills and medical ethics, so Freud especially wants to show that Imam is not cured in public. In a dream, talking is what that person wants to say most. It can be seen that Freud really wants to say in public: Emma has not recovered, so she can't blame me anymore, it's all her fault!
The second paragraph is to examine a horse's throat by the light of the window. Its image is to assume that Yima's vagina is being examined, and the white dots indicate that Yima does have sexual life, while Freud thinks that Yima is a disease caused by lack of sexual life, and even thinks that "in fact, I don't think she needs this kind of examination", that is, he thinks that his diagnosis is correct.
The third paragraph is "Peer doctors consult Ima". The purpose of calling Otto and Oriporter in the dream is to show that he has both Otto's quickness and Leopold's calmness and carefulness. He is worried that Dr. M will not agree with his diagnosis and treatment. The subtext is that if Dr. M doesn't agree with his diagnosis, he is not an authority, but a quack who thinks he can excrete toxins by pulling his stomach.
The fourth paragraph is "the current situation of a horse stems from the unclean syringe." Injection refers to sexual life, that is, I am worried that although a horse has sexual life, it is also abnormal and harmful to the mind. Here is a related event that can explain his medical ethics, that is, an old patient who moved to the countryside was infected by another person. Freud was very gratified by this. He had a good medical ethics.
These four dreams are all telling a truth, that is, to excuse myself for not curing the imam, "I can't blame myself, there is nothing wrong with diagnosis and treatment, I have medical skills and ethics", and I am "self-expression". To sum up, "Dream of Imam Injection" is under the guidance of the dream purpose of "it's not my fault that the Imam is not healed", and uses image language to vividly relieve the consciousness balance of his own ideological troubles.
To sum up, the stimulation sources of dreams are: external environmental stimulation, internal stimulation and spiritual stimulation, which are all branded with consciousness after being reflected by the central nervous system. It is also necessary to find out the purpose of the dream, the images used in the dream, and what mental troubles the dreamer has. Dreams give us the opportunity to observe the subconscious directly.
