"I took a sheep and walked on a country road; Seeing a piece of water on the ground, the sheep used to drink water and looked thirsty ... Further, there was a cabbage patch, and I picked some cabbage leaves for the sheep to eat. "
The first is "analysis preparation", which asks the dreamer several related questions, such as how you feel recently, whether anything special happened that day, whether your sleep is normal and so on. Then, let the dreamer describe the feeling of the dream, and which parts or details in the dream left the deepest impression on people. Then let the dreamer make relevant "associations". At first, the dreamer failed to associate freely with the details related to the dream, so he was asked to associate directly with the "sheep" in the dream, because that was also the most impressive part of the dreamer. The dreamer said, "I am a sheep."
Then, the dreamer describes his understanding and attitude towards "sheep", which is equivalent to starting an "extended analysis". Dreamers like "sheep" very much, but they also show sympathy for them. Sheep are always innocent victims, especially in some fairy tales similar to "Wolf and Sheep".
Then, in the actual analysis process, psychoanalysts and dreamers have some dialogues like this:
Analyst: "How did the dream begin ... can you describe the environment in the dream?"
Dreamer: "it was in a village, a path near the field outside the village, a dry canal;" There are some trees on both sides of the canal. "
Analyst: "In the dream, is the sheep behind you or in front of you?"
Dreamer: "The sheep is in front of me."
Analyst: "Are you leading the sheep with a rope?"
Dreamer: "Yes."
Analyst: "So, do you think there is tension between you and the sheep?"
Dreamer: "well, there is nothing to be nervous about ... by the way, when the sheep tries to drink water, it turns to the right, and the tension of the rope is there."
Analyst: "Feel the tension of that rope ..."
Dreamer: "That rope ..."
Analyst: "You don't have to talk, you just need to feel the rope between you and the sheep and the tension of the rope ... So now can you describe the scene at that time?"
Dreamer: "I am walking on a canal without water with sheep." The sheep struggled to walk to the right ... to drink water ... The water on the ground was not very clean, but the sheep still drank desperately. It seems that it has been thirsty for a long time. I didn't want it to drink originally, because the water looked very unclean, like someone spilled water and washed something. "
Analyst: "What happened next?"
Dreamer: "then, we go back to the path and continue walking ... there is a cabbage patch in front of us." At that time, I thought that the sheep looked thirsty and probably hungry. " So, I picked some cabbage leaves and fed them to the sheep. "
Analyst: "What was the feeling at that time?"
Dreamer: "At that time ... I saw the sheep was thirsty, and I thought it would be hungry, so I picked cabbage for it ... but after picking it, I thought it was someone else's vegetable field, which seemed not so good ... By the way, I picked up the sheep and fed it to the cabbage."
Analyst: "Why did you answer it?"
Dreamer: "It looks so pitiful. It is thirsty when drinking water and hungry when feeding water ... It seems that it has been thirsty for a long time. Probably out of sympathy, I picked it up. "
Analyst: "Imagine that you are holding this sheep ... how do you feel ..."
Dreamer: "Nothing special ..."
Analyst: "Show me how you hold this sheep?"
(The dreamer uses body movements to describe the posture of leading the sheep in the dream ...) "In this way, the sheep's head leans on my right arm ... I just hold it ... By the way, the sleeve of my left hand is rolled up, and I can feel the skin touching the hairy body of the sheep ..."
Analyst: "Don't talk, now you hold this sheep, feel the sheep you are holding, and feel it well ..."
(About 2 minutes later)
Dreamer: "I feel very wronged ... I have an impulse in my heart ... an indescribable impulse comes from the depths ..."
Analyst: "So where does this feeling come from?"
Dreamer: (puts his right hand on his left chest) "From this place."
Analyst: "Put your hand here. Now you can think about it and see what kind of thoughts or images appear. "
Dreamer: "What happened was my childhood ..." Then, the dreamer reappeared his experience of being fostered in a relative's house when he was about 2 years old ... I think my mother abandoned herself ... and was taken back after about a few months, but this has formed a deep "grievance". ...
……
It can be seen that the dreamer shows a lot of emotions and intuition in his dream, and these also correspond to his personality type of "extroverted thinking-perception". Innocent and injured "lamb", thirsty and hungry, has been neglected for a long time, but still "alive", trying to communicate with the dreamer, express his existence and express his grievances. Through such a process of psychological analysis, we can get such an effect of communication and communication, and the fixed energy is also released and infiltrated, so that the dreamer can feel the meaning of the natural self from his own unconscious.
