Freud had such a dream on the night of July 23-24, 895, which was later called Emma's dream of injection. This is the core dream of dream interpretation and the original big dream of psychoanalysis. Through the analysis as a psychoanalyst, Freud realized that dreams are the realization of wishes, thus obtaining the key to dreams, revealing the mystery of the subconscious with dreams, and obtaining the basic principles of classical psychoanalysis about dreams.
Psychoanalysis of dreams is to describe your dreams first, then extract some important elements from them, and then associate them freely. After enough association, these explanations are combined to evaluate and understand the dream as a whole.
In Ima's dream of injection, Freud divided it into four scenes and 18 points, and then freely associated each point one by one, and concluded that the dream was expressing the rational explanation that Ima was not cured. After association, the dream reached a potential unconscious wish during the day. "I didn't treat Yima well, but the responsibility is not mine, but Yima herself." This is consistent with the judgment of the meaning of dreams in Interpretation of Dreams. Psychoanalysis's understanding of dreams is that dreams are the realization of unconscious wishes.
Freud asked patients to express their thoughts, and summarized them into a technique of free association, presenting the deeper content of patients. This is Freud's classic dream interpretation method.
Freud's basic view is that the fundamental driving force of all human activities must be biological instinctive impulse, and the core impulse in instinctive impulse is reproductive instinct (that is, sexual instinct or sexual instinct). Under the suppression of social laws, morality, civilization and public opinion, people are forced to suppress their sexual instinct to the subconscious, making it impossible to enter the level of human consciousness. He believes that psychological barriers are caused by the accumulation of sexual tension.
However, in her dream of injection, a horse has no sex, only a simple desire to make excuses for not curing the patient, and can't see the deeper meaning of the dream. This kind of dream interpretation does not conform to Freud's basic technology.
Freud obviously didn't use the method of free association to explain his dreams, and even avoided his own theory of sexual drive. The evasive content in Interpretation of Dreams reveals Freud's taboo and inferiority towards sex. Therefore, his own explanation of Ima's dream of injection is not comprehensive, which is obviously meaningful.
As Li Yin said, many elements of Ima's injection dream are related to sex. Childhood experiences and trauma.
First, I dreamed of a female patient. This gender has a sexual meaning. In reality, Yima is a relative of Freud, who is connected with his parents and easily reminds people of his mother. Ima was not cured. For the perfectionist Freud, this is part of his shame and guilt. He has superego anxiety and negative tension about his ability. Freud believed that psychological disorder was caused by the accumulation of sexual tension. This kind of tension is actually sexual tension, and he projects the tension of self-blame to the outside. A reasonable statement is that Yima does not cooperate with the treatment, and the poor curative effect has nothing to do with his own technology. This is obviously a defense.
When Ima said she was unwell, pale, etc. The female patient is inconsistent with reality. In reality, Imam is healthy and energetic, with reduced dream energy and pale face, which makes Freud feel that he is competent. The dreamer blames himself and turns into a concern for Yima. This part shows Freud's concern and emotional connection.
Examining women's mouths, I see white spots, like nasal bones. This woman is a mental patient, not a medical patient, so she doesn't need this physical examination. And the throat, white spots and nasal bones are very similar to female genitalia. Because Freud himself had sexual repression and fantasies, he was very nervous about the possibility, very inferior to sex and very unconfident. So he unconsciously invited three male doctors to do the same thing, which seemed to cover up his sexual fantasies and nervousness, but in fact all three men were him, which further highlighted the intensity of his personal sexual repression.
For the physical examination of female patients, the dream describes the location of the physical examination in detail, and the left chest is on the lower side of the left breast. The left side usually points to the mother. In the dream, it is said that through clothes, people actually noticed Freud's compulsive thinking that sex is taboo. About sexual taboos and fears, express inner confidence in a chaotic way. Seeing Freud's compulsion, he seems to have a clever attitude towards women, but in fact there are many taboos, inferiority and taboos in sex. And under the taboo is a flood of fantasy.
Finally, Freud transformed his libido into Otto's injection for Ima. The needle was in the hand of the male doctor and penetrated into the female patient. Injection is an obvious sexual assault, and the needle symbolizes the penis. Freud's own repression of sex was destroyed by injection. Through a doctor who complained about him, Otto's complaint was actually Freud's self-awareness of his poor efficacy, which was transformed into Otto. So on the one hand, Freud's attack on Otto in reality is actually an attack on himself, on the other hand, he expresses the deformation of his sexual impulse.
There is something wrong with the potion, which expresses the attack on Otto, the attack on female patients and the attack on Oedipus conflict (Freud's Oedipus theory holds that people subconsciously want to have sex with their parents. )。 The actual summary of all attacks is an attack on oneself, which Freud avoided in The Interpretation of Dreams. The sexual drive is parallel to the attack drive. Finally, Freud developed oral cancer.
Injecting a woman is unclean, but the sexual impulse is very strong, and the taboo and inferiority of sex are very clear. Freud didn't have sex after 40 years old, and the state of sexual repression was completely consistent with dreams. Freud's logic is meticulous and meticulous, both of which are serious compulsive tendencies. Part of his sexual drive has been sublimated to turn psychoanalysis into science and has the power to be accepted by others. But he doesn't accept sex himself. If you don't accept sex, you don't accept yourself, don't accept your sexual feelings and impulses, and think that sex is dirty and problematic. I don't accept my instinct, so it is a kind of compensation to shape my more perfect social image and let the society accept me. Even if Freud realized his own problems in his later years, he didn't dare to break through. Advanced oral cancer, repeated surgery. This seems to echo Emma's oral leukoplakia. When sex cannot be possessed, it becomes a human sacrifice. The oral cavity is an expression organ. At that time, sex could not be expressed, and even the deformation in dreams could not be decompressed by consciousness. Long-term sexual repression was accepted and internalized by Freud, thus becoming a physical symptom.
Jung lived in the countryside since childhood, and his parents' education, living environment and openness to sex made Jung's sexual repression not obvious.
Sex is human instinct, and the attitude towards sex is the most important. If we judge sex by attitude, we can't judge sexual freedom, which is unacceptable.
