Freud:
- Dreams are a representation of our unconscious wishes.
- They are formed using these processes:
- Condensation - Many ideas and concepts are condensed into a single thought/image
- Displacement - Confuses the significant and the insignificant
- Symbolization - Objects can be references to messages
- Secondary Revision - Elements are organised to make the dream comprehensible
Jung:
- Believes dreams are repressed wishes
- Dreams reflect our personalities and real lives
- They compensate for psyche that is underdeveloped in real life
Hall:
- Supports Jung's theory as he found in a study that our traits/choices in dreams reflect those in reality.
- Claims you can interpret dreams by studying the following:
- Actions of the dreamer
- Objects and figures
- Interactions between characters
- Setting, transitions, outcomes
Dornhoff:
Lots of people believe that shared dreams such as teeth falling out, flying or falling, serve to connect us as a human race; we all have common concerns.
I would quite like to produce some work on this scientific research as I think it would be nice to have a mixture of dreams and science in the final publication so that it sort of blurs the lines between dreams and reality.
