Such changes in the quality of unbearable horror from which patients suffer are indicative of positive changes in psychotherapies. They are difficult to capture because they must be held unconscious by defenses to make them reasonably bearable. However, as we have tried to show here, they can be made visible through the analysis of dreams, both the latent contents of dreams in the psychoanalytic situation and manifest dreams elicited in an experimental as well as in therapeutic situations. Dreams are key to understanding unconscious conflicts and fantasies and can provide clues to possible transformations in psychic functioning. Often such transformations take place in a hidden way. Nevertheless, the psychoanalytic investigation of changes in long-term psychoanalytic therapies by means of a systematic clinical and extra-clinical approach of changes in dreams offers the possibility to capture such changes beyond symptom reduction in a clinically relevant way (see also Leuzinger-Bohleber, 2015b; Leuzinger-Bohleber and Fischmann, 2018). We thus hope to have made a valuable contribution to such comparative outcome studies. Another hope is that we could show that a dialogue between psychoanalysis and the neurosciences is fruitful in comparative psychotherapy research (see Fischmann et al., in preparation). Data Availability Statement As is discussed in detail in another article (see Fischmann and Leuzinger-Bohleber, 2018; Leuzinger-Bohleber, 2018) the manifest dreams of this severely traumatized patient changed obviously during psychoanalysis. Here an example of a clinical dream of this patient in the third year of psychoanalysis:

To try and remain positive when your body is forcing negative energy through you can be tough, but it can also be detrimental to your mental health. Pushing things out of your mind and bottling feelings up is known to be unhealthy, so to advance your mental wellbeing it is suggested that you allow yourself time for sadness, but always invest in activities that influence your positivity to emerge. William Domhoff’s career spanned from the 1960s to the publication of The Emergence of Dreaming in 2018 and combined the analysis of dream content with brain imaging techniques

There is another explanation as to why you could be running so sluggishly. A psychologist, Daniel Erlacher has run experiments on lucid dreamers, with the aim of detecting how rapidly they can conduct tasks whilst in their unconscious state. The result was that tasks are completed at a rate of around 50% slower than when you are dreaming, concluding that your dreams are in fact presented in slow motion. 3.

At once universal and personal, they can be hard to remember, difficult to forget and impossible to describe. For Sigmund Freud, the unconscious images that are roused during sleep were rarely what they seemed, and so, in 1900, he began writing what would become the seminal work on the subject, Interpreting Dreams. Combining anecdote and analysis, it was a controversial study that changed the way we think about ourselves.

Summary and Discussion

Death is another common subject of dreamsand one that can be particularly disconcerting. Dreamers sometimes dream of the death of a loved one or even of dying themselves. Popular dream interpretations suggest that such dreams reflect anxiety about change or a fear of the unknown.

View Source from the early twentieth century to modern neuroscientists The experts largely agree that this dream represents vulnerability and anxiety. Wallace’s research reveals that this dream is “common to people who have accepted a promotion, gone off to a new job, or who are coming into public view.” 4. Test-taking A.D.A.M. Medical Encyclopedia. (2020, May 10). Nightmares. MedlinePlus., Retrieved May 18, 2022, from As we will discuss, we therefore see these interdisciplinary dialogues as an opportunity for genuine psychoanalytic outcome research. In a detailed article, we have discussed the contribution of neurobiological memory research by the research group of Lane et al. (2015), especially their concept of memory reconsolidation, to this concern (cf. Leuzinger-Bohleber et al., 2020). We also referred to previous work on the modification of manifest dreams in psychoanalyses in a former psychotherapy outcome study (by Leuzinger-Bohleber, 1989 replicated by Kächele et al. (2015), see also Kamp et al., 2019; Pap, 2021). In the frame of this short article, we limit ourselves to the presentation of a dream generating model developed by Ulrich Moser’s psychoanalytic research group in Zurich. The authors have attempted to integrate the current state of sleep and dream research into their model. What is relevant for psychotherapy research is that based on this model they have developed a sophisticated, valid and reliable system for the investigation of manifest dream content, the Zurich Dream Process Coding System (ZDPCS). We hypothesize that the ZDPCS provides an instrument that may foster the emerging role of interdisciplinary research in clinical psychoanalysis. Using two dreams of an analysand from the LAC study, it is illustrated that this coding system is suitable to capture relevant changes during a psychoanalysis. Neuropsychoanalytic Dream Research

There is a myth, similar to wetting the bed, that if you die in your dream you will also die in real life. This is not true, so if you have ever had a dream about dying, please spread the word to diffuse the propaganda. Death signifies the end of something, and therefore if you are coming to the end of your career, relationship, schooling, project, or travels, this may be why you are dreaming this. Emotional processing: One prominent theory suggests that the contents of a dream may help the dreamer process Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Wait for just a second, is that me? How did I get all the way up here? Whilst most dreams represent some form of anxiety, burden, or reference to tough feelings you are yet to uncover, dreaming of flying is actually rather positive. Being that high up in the air represents the heights you feel you can reach in your career, relationship, social life, and whatever else lightens your days. You may have already reached this height, or you may currently feel ambitious, and positive enough about yourself to succeed.

Based on this model of dream-generation Moser and von Zeppelin (1996) have developed a coding system which can be used to analyze the manifest dream content – the Zurich Dream Process Coding System (ZDPCS). Inter-rater reliability based on 20 dreams taken from psychotherapies have been reported for the coding-system to be very satisfactory κ (Cohen’s kappa) = 0.936 ( Döll-Hentschker, 2008, p. 238). It can be applied to investigate systematic changes in the manifest dream content for instance of dreams of analysands during their psychoanalyses, as was done in the LAC depression study. In an attempt to further validate this instrument (ZDPCS), REM dreams elicited in a sleep laboratory of some of the analysands, who have agreed to have their severe sleep disturbances examined there, were investigated and compared to their “clinical” dreams reported during psychoanalytical sessions with very interesting findings (see Fischmann and Leuzinger-Bohleber, 2018 and Supplementary Material). Even though the dream content differed, the structure of the laboratory dream and the dream reported during sessions was identical – a finding which was important for the systematic investigation of the changes in the manifest dreams during the long-term treatments (see Supplementary Material for the specific steps taken to apply the ZDPCS). Consider your biases: Research suggests that your interpretation of a dream may be influenced by religious beliefs and interpersonal relationships.
