Paying attention to your dreams may be the professional habit of people who study psychology, and it is also the fastest way to understand your subconscious state. I often recall my dreams and chase my subconscious on my way to work. It's fun. It's fun.
Learning psychology is inseparable from Freud, and speaking of Freud is inseparable from dream interpretation.
The Interpretation of Dreams written in 1899 marks the beginning of the establishment of Freud's psychoanalytic theoretical system. The book was reprinted eight times and translated into many languages. Until today, this book is still a must-read for psychological counselors and therapists, and it is also deeply concerned by psychology lovers. It is a book written by Freud on the basis of psychoanalytic lectures in the early 20th century. It originally belonged to the category of neuropathology, but it was soon praised as an analytical literary work by literary circles after it came out.
Where do dreams come from?
How do repressed desires appear in dreams?
How to scientifically interpret dreams?
The content of dreams is due to the formation of will, and its purpose is to satisfy will. Dreams are the fulfillment of wishes.
During sleep, we will go back to the way we used to see and feel things, and to the impulses and activities that dominated us long ago.
If a woman dreams of falling, it must have sexual significance: she imagines herself as a falling woman.
Dreams prove that those repressed substances exist in the minds of normal people and abnormal people, and both of them maintain spiritual functions.
Interpretation of dreams is a shortcut to understand the subconscious activities of the brain.
Forgetting is often determined by a subconscious purpose, which always leads people to infer the secret intention of forgetting.
Reversing things or turning things to the opposite side is one of the favorite expressions used in dream works and one of the most widely used methods.
Subconscious is the real spiritual reality; We don't know its inner essence any more than we don't know the truth of the outside world.
What impressed me most was the viewpoint in this book: "Dreams are the realization of wishes".
This book is divided into three parts:
First, the early study of dreams brought five inspirations to Freud.
Aristotle was the first person to bring dreams into psychological research. In his view, dreams are not the will of God, but the psychological activities of sleepers during their sleep. Aristotle believes that dreams can transform the slight stimulation that people feel directly during sleep into strong feelings. He concluded that dreams are likely to reveal changes in the patient's body to doctors, and these changes are difficult to detect when awake.
Obviously, Freud supported Aristotle. He believes that dreams are a kind of "psychological activity", not a manifestation of supernatural forces.
Some ancient scholars have long suggested that dreams come from personal memory: no matter how bizarre the results of dreams are, they are never really divorced from the real world. In addition, what people dream will not come from any major exciting moment, nor is it the most urgent problem to be solved the day before, but accidental details and trivial fragments. Based on this, Freud intends to find a topic in his own research: where does the material of dreams come from?
For dreamers, sometimes dreams seem strange. We can't figure out why we have such dreams. In addition, the dream package contains some inconsistencies or absurdities. Freud hoped to find reasonable logic from this absurdity of dreams. He can't agree with this description: "In our sleep, we return to the old way of looking at and feeling things, and to the activities that dominated our impulses long ago."
The average person's rational power is powerful, and he will not have hallucinations or dreams when he is awake. But when we fell asleep, the power of reason relaxed our vigilance and we began to dream. But there will be a janitor at this time, which is the checking power of dreams, and those things that are particularly instinctive will still be suppressed.
Kant said, "A madman is a lucid dreamer." Schopenhauer also famously said, "Dreams are short-lived madness, while madness is a long-term dream." It seems that dreams and insanity have similar properties. Freud firmly believes that through the study of dreams, we will certainly improve our understanding of mental illness. Unveiling dreams also means that we can have a more intuitive understanding of mental illness and neurosis. Interpretation of dreams naturally became an effective way for Freud to understand patients in psychoanalysis.
Second, dreams are the realization of desires.
1895 In the summer, Freud had a very important dream. This dream is related to a female patient named irma, who is a friend of Freud and suffers from hysteria anxiety, which is a neurosis. The patient doesn't realize that he has emotional problems, but his body will have some symptoms. Freud tried to help her with psychoanalysis, but the result was not very successful. Irma soon finished her treatment.
In Freud's dream, Freud volunteered to check irma's lesion, that is, the diseased part of his body. Their friend Dr. Otto and Otto's competitors also joined in to examine the patients. Opponents and Otto came to the opposite conclusion. In addition, some personal characteristics of a good friend of Irma are also shown in Irma, and these details appear in Freud's dreams.
After waking up, Freud analyzed the dream. He realized that dreams are the realization of wishes.
First of all, this dream helped Freud realize his desire for revenge. In the dream, Freud exchanged the identities of Irma and her good friend, and he also thought it would be great if Irma became that more obedient friend. This is his revenge on Irma, because Irma may think that psychoanalysis is invalid, so she stopped treatment. Freud also compared Otto with his competitors, because Otto didn't agree with his plan. He wanted to say to Otto, "You are not as good as your friend."
Second, this is Freud's self-defense. This dream always emphasizes that irma's body has more serious symptoms than before. This is to prove that the patient did not recover after leaving Freud, so Irma's illness was not good, not Freud's responsibility, but Irma herself was the culprit.
From this dream, Freud began to establish the theoretical framework of "dream interpretation", which also put forward his core theory: dreams begin with desire and dreams are the realization of desire.
Third, the disguise of dreams.
Obviously, no one yearns for pain and anxiety, but scientific research has found that 57.2% of dreams are unpleasant. Freud said that those revealed pains and anxieties were just appearances. Our real desires are hidden under the surface of pain and anxiety.
Freud had a female patient who questioned his theory. This female patient actually dreamed that her 15-year-old daughter died. In my dream, my daughter's body was put in a wooden box. But in reality, no mother would want to see this scene. It turned out that this female patient was not ready to be a mother when she was pregnant with her daughter. She even punched herself in the stomach, obviously not welcoming children at all. So dreaming of her daughter's death actually fulfilled her wish many years ago.
Freud found that real desires sometimes make it difficult for us to accept or face, so we choose to suppress them. And these repressed desires, in dreams, will be presented after camouflage.
1, no jokes, all jokes have serious elements.
2. People with mental health always work hard and love others. As long as they can do these two things, other things will not be difficult.
3. There is no such thing as a slip of the tongue; All slips of the tongue are the revelation of the subconscious truth; When you look down on someone, this contempt must be felt, and then he/she will do something to defend himself/herself.
Conscience is a kind of inner feeling, and it is a resistance to some abnormal desire that stirs in our body.
Belief in success often leads to real success.
6. Life is like playing chess. It is a sad thing to make one mistake and lose everything. Moreover, life is not as good as playing chess, and it is impossible to regret the next game.
7. There are two tragedies in life: one is not getting what you love; The other is to get what you love. There are two great pleasures in life: first, because you can't get what you love, you can seek and create; The other is to get what you love so that you can taste and experience it.
8. Any religion, even one that claims to be universal, must be ruthless to those who do not belong to it.
9、? No one without reason can accept reason.
10, I firmly believe that human civilization was created at the expense of primitive instinct.
1 1, where I used to be, I should be.
12, ignorance is ignorance, and no one has the right to believe what it can derive.
13, human beings are born with "patricide complex". From birth, he was destined to fight against his father to get rid of the status of being ruled and dominated, to fight for the right of independence and freedom, and then to master the family's leading power and social initiative.
