Freud and Dreams
[Dream Interpretation Course]

A 10-lesson email course by J Jones and AROPA

Status: Continuous

 

Description

As you know, Sigmund Freud discovered the meaning of dreams while working with one of his dreams. Starting from his interpretation and further theoretical developments, he wrote his famous Dream Interpretation . His method was later used as means of accessing the unconscious content. The main feature of his approach was the statement that dreams are made of repressed wishes, and these wishes are mainly sexual.

If you need to see how Freud's method works, this course is for you. You will learn about some of its basics, such as the free association method applied on dreams, the wish-dream, the children's dreams and dreams with sexual content. We also offer a list of dream symbols and their meaning in Freud's view.

Finally, the last 2 lessons of the course provide 2 examples showing the way one should handle the interpretation method applied to real dreams, and what he/she should expect from such endeavor.

Please note that this course is intended for people without any prior knowledge of Freudian concepts and dream interpretation. Also most of the lessons are taken from our Psychoanalytic Techniques of Exploration of the Unconscious email course.
