The document discusses Freud's method of dream interpretation and provides an example dream of Freud's. It then breaks down each element of the dream and links it to Freud's real life experiences. The goal is to understand why Freud had the dream by decomposing it and making connections to his daily life. Participants will then try to interpret their own dreams using this method during a workshop on Freudian dream analysis.

11. FREUD’s
DREAM INTERPRETATION METHOD
• WE WILL USE THE RAW DATA (JUST LIKE USING AN
OPERATING SYSTEM IN SAFE MODE – NOT FULLY) WHICH HAS
BECOME SYMBOLS TO BE DECRYPTED
• Exercise 1: breaking down each element
• Exercise 2: making links to real life situations and objects
• Exercise 3: understand why and interpretation

12. FLUSHED NEURONAL PATHWAYS AT
NIGHT

13. Freud’s own dream (the example he
used in his book)
He’s sitting at a table with other people for
dinner. They serve spinach.
Miss E.L. (that Freud knows in real life but hasn’t
seen her for quite a long time) is sitting there
next to him and she’s staring at him.
Then she tells him: “you have beautiful eyes”
and touches his knee. And suddenly, he sees a
pictures of a glass, in fact, 2 glasses, that take
the shape of a pair of reading glasses.”

14. The goal is to break down each
element
(1)He’s sitting at a table with other people for
dinner. (2)They serve spinach.
(3) Miss E.L. (that Freud knows in real life but
hasn’t seen her for quite a long time) is sitting
there next to him and she’s staring at him.
Then she tells him: “you have beautiful eyes”
and touches his knee. (4)And suddenly, he sees
a pictures of a glass, in fact, 2 glasses, that take
the shape of a pair of reading glasses.”

15. Element 1
(1)He’s sitting at a table with other people for
dinner.
Freud had been to a dinner party just the
night before.

16. Element 2
(2)They serve spinach.
Freud hated spinach when he was young but he
started enjoying them as an adult.

17. Element 3
(3) Miss E.L. (that Freud knows in real life but
hasn’t seen her for quite a long time) is sitting
there next to him and she’s staring at him.
Then she tells him: “you have beautiful eyes”
and touches his knee.
The evening before, Freud’s wife talked a lot to
other people, making him feel he was ignored.

18. Element 4
(4)And suddenly, he sees a pictures of a glass,
in fact, 2 glasses, that take the shape of a pair
of reading glasses.”
His friend is an eye doctor and sells spectacles
(reading glasses).

19. We have just decomposed the dream
• Assigned each element to a real life entity
• Now, during the workshop, we’ll look at the
reason why Freud made this dream
• I’ll also show you an example (or 2) of my own
dreams
• And hopefully, you will come with your own
dream that we will try to understand
