I say that we should defend our own nterpretations of our dream contents, because I am for freedom and against any dictatorship, also and especially against the dictatorship of so-called “experts”.
You interpret your dream contents, don’t you? Anf if you tell your dream contents to others, they begin to interpret your dream contents as well, don’t they? And if you tell your dream contents to so-called “experts”, they begin to interpret your dream contents too, don’t they? This implies that there are many interpretations possible and nearly always also present. But which interpretation is true? Probably no one. There is no real “expert” system which can legitimately say: “This (thus: no other!) interpretation is true.” We all interpret our dreams, and we should do it (of course!), but we are not able to find out what the truth of these dream contents are. Interpretations and concepts like “unconscious” or “subconscious” are as much arbitrary as other interpretations and concepts. You can “go” through all of them, and you will not find any of them being really “better” or “more true” than the others. People in New Guinea also interpret dream contents, and their interpretations are very good, perhaps better than the interpretations of the so-called “experts” in Europe, USA, Canada, …, but we do not know and we do not have to know whether they are „more true“ or not. So what? It’s no problem at all.
Many problems are just made, and they are made in order to manage and controil that made “problems” and especially the people that made “problems”.
Two examples:
(1) If a man dreams to kill his father or to sleep with his mother, then he has not necessarily a “problem”, e.g. an “Oedipus complex”. The “Oedipus complex” is an absolutely arbitrary interpretattion, but it is as much believed as the resurrection of Jesus Christ was.
(2) If a woman dreams of e.g. a strong lion or baer, or of a big tower, then she has not necessarily a “problem”, e.g. a “penis envy”. The “penis envy” is also an absolutely arbitrary interpretattion, and it is not as much believed as the resurrection of Jesus Christ was, because the feminism, another absolutely arbitrary interpretation, fobids it.
