Freud Dreams


            Cipher Method or Symbolic Dream Interpretation.
             In chapter two of Interpretation of Dreams, there are two methods discussed to extract the meanings of dreams and how they correlate to ones life. The first method is Symbolic Dream Interpretation. This means that objects or symbols that are dreamt about have a meaning to a future event. I do not believe in this method because it seems clear to me that people just create a theory to their dreams to fulfill something that they want to happen. The second theory is the Cipher Method, which is explained though an elaborate key of explanations. This method analyzes the details in the dream. Such details are the setting, people, familiarity to the place and symbolic objects. The cipher method seems to be the most accurate for interpretation. .
             Freud did a lot of his research on his own dreams to gain symbolic meanings to things. So, for this paper I will analyze my own dream that is reoccurring. It takes place at my old High School. The time of day is at lunch of some kind of break. I am with my friends talking and the bell rings. Like normal everyone goes to class. I start my own behaviors as if I am going to class also. I get my bag and say "later" to my friends. I begin to walk and realize that I don't have any idea where my class is or what class I have. So I try to imagine what direction I went the days before or I try to remember a context of a class setting. I can never figure it out. Sometimes, I end up in the office to ask them. However, the dream seems to end there because I became so overwhelmed with anxiety that I decided to give up and go home. So, now I will try to use the cipher method to analyze this dream. .
             I will begin by saying that the setting of my High School actually does have some importance. This place resembles the pathway to my future. As we all can recall a lot of stress was associated with high school.
