Dream Analysis



Dream analysis is a therapy that works on the theory that dreams can give us insight into ourselves, encourage us to become more involved in our own self-awareness and growth, and allow us to explore our psychic unconscious world. Sigmund Freud, who first pioneered psychoanalysis in the earlier twentieth century, placed heavy emphasis on dream analysis as part of his work, as a way to see our repressions. Carl Jung also placed heavy importance on the meaning of dreams, although he saw them more as a connection between conscious and subconscious, showing our potential for change. Dream analysis is usually led by a therapist, whereas dreamwork is a more individual study of dreams with a broader array of tools for exploration.
