We introduce here
a pilot study concerning the hypothesis that
dreams reoccur preconscious feelings the dreamer experienced in recent life
(i.e. a dream is a repetition of recent waking life emotional concerns).
Indeed, this
translating approach has been tested on a series of 42 dreams including 344
scenes and 516 “foreground feelings”. We show here that for 67 % of these
dreams, the link to the past waking life is a very certain one.
As
none of the other dreams contradict this approach, we really can hypothesis
that there is a link between the sequence of dreamt-feelings and a sequence of
“under-exposed” – one could say preconscious – near-past waking life feelings.
(See the examples of the aggressive giant
dream, the stoned in flight dream,
the little inflatable boat dream,
the married mistress
dream, irrefutable cases).
Then,
considering that dreams are reoccurrences of near-past feelings we link
dreamt-images to real-life things through the similarities of the feelings (this
is our “translating
equation”) , we apply this approach in the case of dreamt-people –
including the dreamt-dreamer
– and we suggest how we can enter psychological concepts through dreams. (See towards a dreamt-sourced psychology?). Of
course, we propose a few words concerning the symbolism.
Unfortunately,
our considerations rely upon the dreams of a single individual. That’s why
these introspective experiences are just offered for the convenience of
subsequent investigators.
Nevertheless,
if it is confirmed that dreams reproduce a waking life psychological process
which has been experienced the day before, then, we will have to consider
dreams as excellent scientific observations (see scientific dimension of dreams).
Then,
considering that dreams describe psychology we propose to focus to a very
profitable question “how is the psychological field according to the generator
of dreams?” and we suggest a first presentation (See Psychology
of inclinations).
