Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Dreams and Dreaming Women dream about children, men about aggression Men dream about other men more than women dream about men Usually the first dream of the night connects to events of the day… and other dreams build on this The last dream is the one most often remembered, but also the one with the least connection to the previous day’s events Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Why We Dream Common Theories Freud's theory is that dreams carry our hidden desires Jung's theory is that dreams carry meaning, although not always of desire, and that these dreams can be interpreted by the dreamer. Cayce’s theory is that dreams are our bodies means of building up of the mental, spiritual and physical well-being. Evans states that dreaming is our bodies way of storing the vast array of information gained during the day Crick and Mitchinson say that this information is being dumped rather than stored. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Dreams as Meaningful Events Freud believed dreams served the following two functions: To guard sleep To serve as a source of wish fulfillment Dreams reflect a person’s unrecognized fears and desires. Dreams relieve psychic tensions created during the day. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 Freud and Dreams Manifest Content A dream’s story line Latent Content The supposed symbolic meaning of the dream Freudian psychologists would focus on this aspect Example: Long, rigid objects and containers are symbolic of male and female genitalia Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007 The Problem With Freud Freud did not do careful, scientific studies to verify his theoretical suspicions. For example…do boys dream about their fathers out of jealousy, as Freud believed, or simply because they are their closest authority figure “…Every dream will reveal itself as a psychological structure, full of significance, and one which may be assigned to a specific place in the psychic activities of the waking state.” The Interpretation of Dreams Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Activation-Synthesis Theory The theory that dreams are simply random electrical activation coming from brain stem Dreams are brain’s attempt to make sense of this random activity Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007
