Document Summary
Lab 3 - dream analysis based on a jungian dream analysis technique described in: sockin, brian s. (1990) Dream log: how to use dreams to improve your waking life. During this lab you will learn how to keep a dream journal, how to recognize different types of dreams and how to make sense of the consistent themes you dream about over a few months. We discuss freudian, jungian, cognitive and humanistic theories and analysis techniques and teach one approach you can use to interpret your dreams. Dreamdeck software asks you to create a story on the basis of your free associations to archetypal symbols and imagery displayed on the computer screen. We then interpret those projective stories as if they were your dreams. The goal of this module is to show you some techniques that psychologists use to interpret dreams. Some psychologists believe that dream analysis can help to resolve conflicts in a person"s life and promote personal growth.
