Dreaming is a universal phenomenon, though much of what we dream
may be forgotten, and some few persons are able only rarely to remember
their dreams on waking. The dream represents mental activity during sleep.
For this reason the workings of the unconscious mind can be more p
5 seen here than anywhere else. Ordinarily the thoughts and wishes of the
unconscious mind are unknown to us, though it contains the source of creative
and instinctive energy. As the oldest part of the concept-forming apparatus, it
makes liberal use of such primitive methods of representation as symbolism.
In a very general way, the unconscious mind of present-day man may be
10 compared to the conscious mind of the caveman, and dreams often remind us
of the picture writing of the caveman, where a relatively few simple pictures
used as symbols told a detailed story of events.
In addition, it is the function of a dream to express a wish, but since the
wishes of the unconscious are often highly instinctive in nature, they would be
15 as disturbing to most modern persons as would the acts of a caveman in
present-day society. Therefore, most dreams are disguised enough to conceal
their true meaning from the dreamer. This is accomplished through the
intervention of the conscience, a much more recently developed function of
the brain. In psychoanalysis an effort to get the true meaning of the dream is
20 made by having the dreamer give all his thoughts and feelings about every
element of the dream. These are then pieced together by the analyst, who uses
his knowledge of the life history of the individual as a reference point. By this
means, unconscious thoughts and wishes, as well as long-forgotten experiences,
can be revealed so as to give the dreamer a much more complete understand-
25 ing of himself.
