The discussion in this section is limited to those who dream that they are naked and feel ashamed and embarrassed, but hope to escape but can’t move. I believe that most people have experienced this dream, and the essence of it is that they have a painful feeling with shame and a desire to escape from the embarrassment of nudity.
The first thing we need to pay attention to is that there are always strangers with vague faces around the dream. They don’t object in their dreams, and they don’t notice that they are naked next to them. They often have a serious and inflexible expression. According to the usual logic, watching should show surprise, ridicule or anger, which is a dream embarrassment. Watching indifference constitutes a fresh contrast.
For this seemingly contradictory situation, my understanding is that the dream itself has been preserved in the dream, but the expression of surprise, ridicule or anger has been changed by the satisfaction of desire, so the two parts of the dream have become very uncoordinated in essence. This is a dream that is partially disguised because the desire has been satisfied, and the second force may be the moral restraint force, which has changed the form of suppressing the dream, so this part seems insoluble and actually contains some meaning.
Naked desire is often manifested in neurotic patients such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and paranoid delusion. In the case of neurotic patients and paranoid delusions, doctors often trace back to their childhood experiences of naked bodies to their opposite sex partners. Strangely, the objects of sexual interest in childhood are no longer on the sidelines in their dreams. Now, in paranoia, this means that a group of strangers in their dreams actually imply the desire to dream and expose themselves to people they know.
It should be noted that the expression of dreaming naked is vague. They will report that I am wearing clothes, but this naked scene is always very vague. Generally speaking, this situation is not serious enough to be shameful. What’s more, soldiers will violate the military discipline instead of naked. I forgot to bring my sabre when I walked down the street, and just a few officers came over. This strange situation deserves our serious consideration.
Naked desire can be traced back to our childhood. Innocent children are all naked desires. When we were young, we were not ashamed of being naked. Many children were very naked and happy. Perhaps this is their natural way of life, but this kind of guild was scolded and coughed by adults. It’s really outrageous that you should not do this again. With age, nudity is closely linked with moral shame and anxiety, and our naked desire is suppressed. The dream of naked body actually satisfies our desire.
Dreaming that the image of clothes is not good in adulthood is the core to solve this kind of dream. Because of the memory superposition or dream inspection several times, this image is always vague. In the dream, the trace of inspection is very obvious, and the naked dream partner has a painful emotional experience, which shows the desire to suppress the conflict. Subconsciously, I hope that the naked inspection will try my best to avoid the pain, and this kind of dream will not appear.
We can try to find a similar description from the text. Gottfried Keler wrote in the young Heinrich, Dear Li, I hope that in your personal experience, you will never be covered in dust and naked like Odyssey. Now I will tell you that this happened in front of her companion in Nausicaa. Imagine that you are alone in a foreign country and have no relatives around you. You will always dream that you have returned to your hometown for a long time and met your relatives one night, but at the same time, you will find yourself in rags and almost naked, and you will suddenly be ashamed.
In it, it is revealed that the deepest human nature in the human heart is actually rooted in those forgotten impulses in childhood. These repressed impulses will hide in the desire of human beings and take the opportunity to enter the dream. This dream ending will always be accompanied by a serious anxiety.
When I went to that building in front, I couldn’t move, and my dream was also a naked dream. These dream materials all came from my nanny G before I was two years old. My mother told me that the old and ugly nanny was strict and often blamed me for health problems. The nanny in my dream was actually the incarnation of G. The maid scolded me for soiling the carpet, which induced my childhood memories. These childhood memories have been lurking in my subconscious. They are the true sources of my naked dreams.
Two relatives’ dreams of death
This kind of dream dreams about the death of one’s parents, brothers and sisters, and so on. They are indifferent or deeply saddened, but shed tears in their dreams. Those indifferent dreams are not analyzed here. Among them, the death of relatives is generally a fantasy, which actually hides other desires. Readers can refer to the girl in front who dreamed of the death of her nephew.
We focus on the analysis of those deeply sad dreams in which we dream that we want our loved ones to die. This must be a sexual mismatch. We think that a woman dreamed that her daughter was lying in a wooden box. We found that the dream may have been a long time ago, and 15 years ago, and the desire was even worse. These desires can be traced back to childhood. These desires have been abandoned, blocked or suppressed, and dreaming that our loved ones died may indeed reflect our idea of wanting their loved ones to die at a certain time in childhood. This conclusion sounds shocking and I believe that reading will refuse to accept this conclusion. We try to find some evidence to confirm those childhood desires that have been forgotten.
First of all, considering the general situation of children’s brothers and sisters, we will acquiesce that this is a kind of mutual love, but in fact, many adult brothers and sisters turn against each other and become enemies. As in childhood, brothers and sisters also have a lot of contradictions. Children are private, and they will meet their own needs and desperately compete with their partners. Brothers and sisters are the first to bear the brunt. Brothers and sisters abuse their brothers and sisters and rob them of their toys, but they are afraid and jealous of oppression.
The most obvious example is that when Chang meets his newborn brother or sister, he will firmly say that he or she should not come to my house because he clearly knows that the newborn child will take away the love of his parents and share his own toy food. I once heard the story of a two-year-old girl trying to strangle her baby, which shows that the jealousy of children is very strong. Of course, this kind of jealousy is most likely to occur when the children are old enough, and this kind of jealousy may be replaced by the heart.
I have carefully observed my little nephew. When he was 15 months old, he added a girl to his family. Every time when the adults saw the little girl, he would always interrupt and say that she was too young. After a few months, he changed his attack strategy. He often woke up and said that the girl had no teeth. I think it is within the scope of the little nephew’s speech ability. He is trying to prevent his sister from being noticed by the adults and from taking away her family’s love.
A female patient of mine has often had such a dream since she was 4 years old, including her brother and sister playing in a large group of children playing in the playground, and then suddenly everyone else has wings and disappeared into the sky. This is actually a hope that her brother and sister will die in the eyes of children, just like flying away with wings. It may be inspired by the scene of butterflies flying in the playground. She dreamed that her brother and sister flew away, but she was the only lucky one. Many of these dreams actually happened in my patients’ dreams of brothers and sisters, and most of them were strongly hostile.
This explanation is really shocking. Many people will retort that how can you imagine a child as innocent as the sky as a villain who wants his brothers and sisters to die? These people actually ignore the concept of children dying. They don’t associate the horrible phenomena such as death, corpses and graves. In their eyes, death probably means leaving, so children’s idea is not as vicious as we thought. It is just their desire to express in dreams.
The face description has clearly explained the death dream of children’s brothers and sisters, so we should explain the desire to want parents to die. How can parents be hated by their children when they love their children physically and mentally?
I noticed that most of the parents who died in their dreams were gay boys, and girls dreamed that death was their father and mother. This tendency shows that we have developed a sexual preference in childhood. Boys regard their fathers as rivals, while girls hate their mothers. This is an absurd view that we accept moral and cultural concepts. My daily observation proves that this hostility towards same-sex parents is indeed explained by this Oedipus complex.
In ancient fairy tales or folk tales, it is always like this. The father is in control and ruthless. Because of his father’s various aspects, the boy can’t wait to replace him. Among them, Oedipus said that he described the most similar situation. Oedipus was the king of Thebes and queen Jocasta. The king and his wife once received an Oracle that their son would be the murderer of his father, so they abandoned the newborn king Oedipus, who was saved and became king in another city-state. One day, he met him outside Thebes. His own father killed him because of a disagreement. Then he became the king of Thebes and married his mother, Jocasta. All this happened without his knowledge. With the truth coming out, Oedipus finally ruined his eyes and left home. The story of Oedipus the king is a tragedy of human destiny. The moving part of the tragedy may just come from our hearts. Man can’t conquer nature. It may coincide with our childhood desires.
From a very young age, children have sexual impulses. Girls’ initial feelings point to their fathers, while boys point to their mothers. In this way, parents become competitors for boys and girls respectively, and parents generally favor their daughters. Fathers dote on their daughters, mothers dote on their children. Children are very sensitive to their parents’ preferences and show resistance to those who don’t. For them, leaving their parents is a choice. An 8-year-old girl often takes the opportunity of her mother leaving the dinner table to sit in the mother’s place and say, I am a mother now. Do you still need vegetables? Carl’s father
Oedipus hypothesis has been confirmed in neurotic patients. According to my experience, parents of neurotic patients play an important role in their psychological life in childhood, in which hating same-sex fathers or mothers is the most important factor and also becomes an important cause of future illness. Let’s analyze several real cases.
I once received such a strange patient. During the treatment, her symptoms showed different mental states. She first showed a very chaotic excitement, and she was extremely disgusted with her mother. She was not allowed to go near her. Then she became conscious but quite indifferent. She had a lot of dreams about her mother’s death and dreamed that she had attended an old woman’s funeral. I explained that it was in the first stage of her illness that the first force broke through the second force inspection, which led to her subconscious hostility to her mother. When her condition improved, this hostility could be manifested in her dreams.
Another patient suffering from obsessive-compulsive neurosis is in another situation. He is afraid to go out for fear that he will kill others. Every day, he imagines evidence to prove that he is a koo in a possible murder in the city. I found that this obsessive-compulsive concept comes from his impulse to kill his father. When his father died seriously, he became compulsive, and this responsibility was transferred to strangers. Actually, this impulse was already manifested when he was 7 years old. These two cases can well prove that Oedipus complex exists.
Finally, there are two characteristics of this kind of relatives’ death dream. First, this repressed desire has actually avoided the inspection and entered the dream without moving. This is a very strange phenomenon. I think two possibilities have contributed to this situation. The desire is too absurd for the inspection machine to dream of, so we should guard against it. This desire remains during the day, and the combination of experience has become a form of worrying about relatives, thus hiding ourselves well. Second, this kind of dream is always inevitably accompanied by painful emotional experience when the inspection is partial or complete. When you are in the spirit, you will have the same anxiety caused by physical stimulation, which is bound to greatly strengthen the inspection. Therefore, it can be inferred that the inspection is due to the prevention of anxiety or other forms of painful emotions.
Dream of flying or falling
In the process of psychoanalysis, many hysteria patients reported dreams of flying in the air or falling from a height. Many people think that these dreams are caused by physical stimulation, touch or lung movement, but by analyzing these dream materials, I conclude that physical stimulation is a part of dreams rather than the source of dreams. These dreams actually come from childhood experience repetition.
In life, elders usually tease children to hold them high and dive, let them slide from their legs or let them fly suspended. Children will also be happy to cooperate with them. They are also keen on playing swing, slide and seesaw games. These sports games let children experience weightlessness for the first time and fear dizziness. When they are adults, they are likely to bring these laughs and jumps into their dreams, and those attached to these experiences will change their anxiety.
What does it mean that physical stimulation is insufficient to explain the source of such dreams? It is very simple that sports stimulation can enter dreams when meeting the needs of the mind, but it is ignored. Through the analysis of the symptoms of neurotic patients, I find that these dreams and childhood experiences have established a connection in a long life, and these game memories may be attached with some special meanings. Of course, this additional meaning will vary from person to person.
I’m sorry that I’ve never had this kind of flying or falling dream. I know that many cases hidden in the dreams of neurotic patients have not been clarified yet, so it can be said that my explanation of the meaning of this kind of dreams is far from profound. It can be an immature hypothesis that needs further verification.
Four exam dreams
Most people who successfully pass the entrance examination in the middle period will dream anxiously that they have failed the exam or that they need to make up the exam, while graduates dream that they have failed the graduation exam and failed to get a place. This is a typical exam dream.
