What Are the Stages of Sleep? Sleep-Wake Disorders. Sleep Quiz. Freud found that affect remains stable in the process of dream formation, at least with respect to quality p. Affect or emotion can be a gateway to learning more about the state of the dreamer. The focus on transference dreams and countertransference dreams in contemporary psychoanalysis aligns with this point. Unconscious communications between the patient and analyst may be reflected in dream content as either the day's residues or a major emotional focus.
As such, the therapist can perceive and address interaction issues in treatment e. To understand and use dreams in this way implies a focus on manifest rather than latent dream content.
However, the self-organization theory of dreaming does not endorse the existence of latent dream content see the following section , although many analysts have expressed interest in manifest dream since the s see Spanijaard, ; Lane, Some researchers have contended that manifest dream content represents the whole dream, with no element of distortion or disguise.
Greenberg and Pearlman proposed that if psychoanalysts understand how manifest dream content attempts to convey the dreamer's problems and resolve them, then a dream can be expressed directly rather than through an obscured purpose. Jennings purported that dreams are self-evident in that they directly reflect the dreamer's experiences, traits, and wishes. From this perspective, the therapist should use the self-evident method to discover dreams as they truly are in therapy.
That is, even if no hidden implications exist, dreams can still be a tool by which the therapist and patient can work together to enrich the therapeutic process. Nevertheless, Freud paid close attention to how these materials combine, and his technique of dream interpretation also relied on this integration, which brings us to our second point. Freud realized that dream content is derived from but not identical to real life; thus, he suggested that some transformation and connection must exist between these materials.
Freud therefore identified two types of dreams: manifest dream and latent dream. He stated that the latent dream is the real dream, and the goal of dream interpretation is to reveal it. To further elaborate on this idea, Freud proposed four mechanisms by which latent dream can be obscured. Condensation refers to the reduction and simplification of rich contents of latent dream.
Displacement refers to a process that substitutes various aspects e. Symbols indicate that latent dream is expressed by relevant signs. Secondary revision involves making disordered and incoherent dream materials more well-organized and reasonable.
This mechanism causes a dream to appear meaningful, but the presented dream is in fact quite different from its actual implication Freud, The self-organization theory of dreaming does not concur with this viewpoint; instead, it offers a different perspective on Freud's dream-work. According to this theory, the nature of condensation is the fragmentation of memories during consolidation, as this process must extract important information for further processing.
Displacement, from this perspective, depends on weak control of the sleeping brain and the high degree of freedom in dream elements. No analogous symbols exist in dream content because the elements presented therein are merely memory fragments and other components of information processing see Zhang, Some researchers have also pointed out that dream symbols are too far-fetched see Freud, However, this position does not mean that the self-organization mechanism does not provide support for dream interpretation.
According to self-organization theory, the sleeping brain's control of physical and mental activities is weaker than in the awake brain Kahn et al. Thus, dream elements are characterized by more freedom than mental content when an individual is awake, rendering hyperassociativity between these components possible Hartmann, b ; Horton and Malinowski, Therefore, the self-organization mechanism is necessary: it provides a relatively stable state for the dreaming brain, as it can offer a way in which the system can give rise to ordered behavior, structure, or pattern from disorder Haken, ; Prigogine and Stengers, ; Fingelkurts et al.
Order parameters or collective variables are crucial during this process. A system's state is generally determined based on many variables that describe its different aspects. Under certain conditions, the interactions between different components will cause the system to reach a critical state at which most of these variables vanish quickly.
To put it another way, few variables survive, but those that do reflect the state of this system. These variables i. The formation of order parameters is therefore the key channel through which self-organization can successfully continue see Haken, ; Fingelkurts et al.
Emotion is a pivotal factor during sleep. Several investigations have revealed that dreams are often accompanied by emotions, especially negative ones e. Many researchers have identified a close relationship between dreams and emotions e.
For instance, Reiser noted that images serving as nodal points in an individual's memory network are connected by similar types of affect, indicating that affect plays an essential role in memory organization. He eventually hit a wall and wrecked his car because he was drunk. The young man was surprised by the dream as his relationship with his father was positive and his father would never drive drunk in real life. Thus, the purpose of the dream was to knock the father down while elevating the young man.
Jung often used archetypes and universal myths to interpret dreams. As a result, Jungian therapy approaches dream analysis in three stages.
First the personal context of the dreamer is considered. Finally, any archetypal content is evaluated in order to discover links between the dream and humanity as a whole. Instead, he proposed a cognitive theory that claimed that dreams are simply thoughts that appear in the mind during sleep. As a result, dreams represent our personal lives through the following cognitive structures :. Hall came to his conclusions about dreams through an approach he developed with Robert Van De Castle in the s.
The approach uses quantitative content analysis to evaluate reports of dreams. The system of content analysis scales provides a scientific way to evaluate dreams. There are several other approaches to dream interpretation that arise from different psychological perspectives. Some of these approaches are already reflected in the researchers mentioned above.
