Dream Interpretation and Sigmund Freud
In the early part of the 19th century, dream interpretation had
fallen out of fashion, and almost no one practiced this art
seriously.
In the early part of the century, dreams were thought to
have no meaning at all, and to be simply the result of a heavy meal
before bedtime, noises heard in the night and other trivial causes.
By the latter part of the 19th century, however, Sigmund Freud
would revolutionize the world of dreams and dream interpretation
with his radical new ideas incorporating dreams and deep seated
childhood fears.
Born in 1865, Sigmund Freud revolutionized the world of
psychiatry and dream interpretation with his seminal work "The
Interpretation of Dreams". Freud started to analyze the dreams of
his patients, and he used this dream analysis to diagnose and treat
their psychiatric ills.
Freud also studied dreams as a way to understand certain aspects
of the personality, especially those aspects that lead to
psychological problems and disorders. Freud believed that nothing
human beings did happened by chance, and that every action, no
matter how small or seemingly trivial, was at some level motivated
by the unconscious mind.
Of course in order for a civilized, modern society to function,
certain primal needs and desires must be repressed, and Freud's
theory was that these repressed urges and desires were released by
the unconscious during dream sleep.
Doctor Freud saw dreams as a direct connection to the
unconscious mind, and he studied that connection through the
interpretation of symbolic objects found in dreams.
The theory was
that with the conscious mind acts as a guard on the unconscious,
preventing certain repressed feelings from coming to the surface.
During sleep, however, this conscious guard is absent, and the
subconscious mind is free to run wild and express its most hidden
desires.
Freud was especially interested in the sexual content of dreams,
and he often saw ordinary objects in dreams as representations of
sexual desire. To Freud, every long, slender item encountered in a
dream, from a knife to a flagpole, was a phallic image, while any
receptacle such as a bowl or vase, represented the female
genitalia.
Freud believed in five stages of personality, and he saw dreams as
manifestations of desired stemming from each of these five stages.
To Freud, personality formation consisted of:
Stage One - Oral/Dependency
Freud's theory was that any needs not satisfied during the
oral/dependency stage would cause the person to go through life
trying to meet them. Thus, to Freud, habits such as overeating,
drinking to much and smoking were all oral fixations. People
suffering from these oral fixations often dreamed about their unmet
needs and desires.
Stage Two - Anal/Potty Training
Freud held that improper potty training could traumatize a
child, and cause him or her to become anal retentive, rigid and
controlling. Such traumatized children often develop obsessive
compulsive disorders as well. Recurring dreams of being out of
control, such as dreams of falling were common in such people.
Stage Three - Phallic
According to Freud, the personality is completely developed by
the time stage three rolls around.
The third stage of personality
is identified with the Oedipus and Electra complexes. The Oedipus
complex represents the love a male child feels toward the mother,
coupled with fear and jealousy of the male parent. The Electra
complex is the female version of Oedipus, in which the female child
feels anger toward the mother and develops " envy".
Stage Four - Latency
Unlike the other stages, the latency period is a time of
relative calm.
During this stage, the aggression and sexual urges
are less intense, and little psychosexual conflict is
exhibited.
Stage Five - Genital
This is the period of sexual maturity and the creation and
enhancement of life. The stage of sexual maturity is where
reproduction, intellectual activity and artistic pursuits take
place.
Freud believed that wish fulfillment was the source of dreams,
and that dreamers used dreams as a way to satisfy the fixations
they had developed during childhood.
In addition, issues like power
and control frequently manifested themselves in dreams. The central
part of Freud's dream theory was that thoughts and desires
repressed during the day were free to run wild during the dream
stage.
Since Freud's death, many have criticized him for seeing sexual
motivation behind every dream object. Many have pointed out that
Freud was born into the sexually repressed Victorian era, and his
preoccupation with sexual matters could have been as much a product
of the times in which he lived as a valid scientific theory.
Even
so, many of Freud's dream interpretations have proven valid and are
still used by psychologists and dream researchers today.
