Subconscious and conscious mind
Subconscious and conscious mind
The subconscious mind has a broader vision than the conscious mind, and sometimes the subconscious mind can give 'compensation' to the conscious mind. The above-mentioned young man admired his father very much, but he damaged his father's reputation in a dream because the dreamer's consciousness regarded his father too great, and he relied on his father for everything, so that his own ability did not play out. And his subconscious mind
Put forward 'blame' to the consciousness, and tried to reduce the status of the father in the dream to improve their own value, which is the compensation of the subconscious to the consciousness.
Sometimes, though, conscious desires play side-by-side with subconscious ones. For example, a person in the legal field had this dream:
'I took a girl by the hand and walked near my door. At this moment a closed carriage stopped at the side of the street, and suddenly a man appeared before me, presented himself as a policeman, and asked me to go with him to the police station. At that time, I only asked him to give me some time to settle some business before I went with him...'
The dreamer mentioned that the most valuable experience the day before the dream was that he slept with a married woman, woke up the next morning, and had sex with her again. In previous relationships, he had used coitus interruptus to avoid getting pregnant (if it happened, it would ruin both of them), but in this early-morning sexual encounter, he wasn't sure he had contraception. Just after this contraceptive sex, which may have failed, he fell asleep again and had the above dream. The dream contains two conscious wishes related to the experience of the day: one is that he is walking down the street in front of his house, holding the girl's hand, which indicates that he wishes
I hope I can bring her home fair and square, and not have to steal her like this; Another greater wish is that the baby will not live or be born and that his contraception is successful.
Later, he dug up an old story from his 'emotional dustbin' : a few years ago, he had sex with a girl, and she became pregnant, and for the sake of each other's reputation, she secretly had an abortion. He didn't know it beforehand, but he worried about it for a long time afterwards. Perhaps he also hoped that if the married woman became pregnant, she would be able to have an abortion herself, as the young girl had done before.
This dream can be said to be directed by the consciousness of the dreamer, and the dream evokes the subconscious mind's memories of the past, so that the theme is formed in the combination of consciousness and subconscious.
Dream interpreters believe that the subconscious also contains the desire to punish oneself, and most of these kinds of dreams are unpleasant dreams. From this theory, in the previous dream, the police in the dream may symbolize the dreamer's conscience and realize his wish to punish him, and the dreamer did not resist in the dream, but only 'asked me to give some time to deal with some affairs and then with him.
Go for 'o
This dream example shows that a dream may contain several wishes that, while related to residual experiences from the day, are also closely related to past experiences of being kicked into the 'emotional dustbin.'
