Interpretation and exploration of dreams
Sigmund Freud
In his book "Traumdeutung" (1900) he is treating the importance of dreams to the psyche.He meant dreams were the "royal way to the subconscious" and was using them in psychoanalysis to bring hidden conflicts to the surface and to force out suppressed areas.
Nowadays it is generally believed, Freud had overrated the meaning of sexual wishes in originating dreams.But it is still accepted that fulfillment of wishes play a big role in dreams, and that daily events are digested and assimilated.
Dreams are being explored more often. New interesting facts were reported in the magazine "Focus", dtd 18 Aug 97. For instance the processing of subliminal observations (below the consciousness level) in dreams. It was found that certain activities like reading, writing and calculating were rarely appearing in dreams. A possible explanation would be, that dreams are dealing with primary processes (Es) mostly, while the three above mentioned activities are more connected with secondary processes (Ich).
Sex is a possible subject of dreams, but it is not dominating. Erotic contents are found in 12% of Male and in 4% of female dreams only.
