Chapter 3 Section 2 The secret in a woman's dream?

Your dreams reveal the secrets of your heart. ? ?

Susan dreamed that she was in a green house when she suddenly saw a snake about to bite her.The mother was standing beside her, smiling at her maliciously, and then the mother walked away, not wanting to help her at all.She ran to the door, but found that the snake had already blocked the way there.She awoke with a startled terror. ?
Susan is a 45-year-old woman who suffers from severe anxiety.For a long time, she and her mother hated each other.Her parents were at odds, and her mother hated her because she thought her birth forced her to continue the marriage.The older Susan grew, the more she tried to irritate her mother, and her mother punished her more, even wanted to destroy her.Susan's father was afraid of guilt and did not dare to help and support his daughter, which made this proud and talented daughter gradually shrink back in the crowd. ?
Susan feels defeated by her mother's "victory" and hopes to one day turn the tables.So one day she had a dream. ?
The Green House is the property of Susan's parents.She often goes there alone, but never with her mother.In the manifest content of the dream, it is not the mother but the snake that is dangerous. ?
This shows that, deep down, Susan hopes to have a good mother who can protect her and keep her from harm.She sometimes imagines that her mother has changed and is willing to help her. ?
In Susan's dream, when she was in danger, her mother was by her side, which meant that she hoped that her mother could help her.However, the mother walked away with a malicious smile, showing the true face of the mother.Initially, she was trying to distinguish the good mother (helping her daughter) from the bad mother (the snake).But her disillusionment is shattered when her mother looks at her maliciously and refuses to help. The mother is one with the snake, the force that brings her destruction.So she wanted to run out the door, hoping to escape, but it was too late, the way out had been blocked, and she had only despair and fear. ?
In the dream, Susan experienced intense uneasiness, apparently involving her mother.In a sense, this is also a kind of wish fulfillment.She has a wish that a good mother can protect her.But at the same time, due to the deep humiliation generated by her early setbacks, she has a strong desire for revenge, hoping that her father will understand that her mother is evil, so as to drive her mother away from her father. ?
Susan felt that only her mother's destruction could restore her pride and self-esteem. ?
Mind walk?

In Freud's psychoanalytic theory, the analysis of dreams is very famous.This story is the description and analysis of a woman's dream by a psychological master. ?
Freud believes that dreams are the disguised appearance of the repressed unconscious, so dream interpretation is to strip off this disguise and analyze the hidden real meaning.The purpose of people's dreams is not only to satisfy desires through disguise, but also to restore psychological balance. Freud's student Jung called it dream compensation. ?
Everyone dreams. If you are interested, you can also analyze your own dreams to see what makes your mind unbalanced. ?
