Comparison on Dream Interpretation Theories from Freud, Jung and Adler
XU Kai
Dream interpretation is a classic technique of psychoanalysis. As the pioneers of dream interpretation, Freud, Jung and Adler have fundamentally changed perceptions about dream, furnished a whole new dimension for dream interpretation, and guided the direction of dream theories. Although Freud, Jung and Adlers dream interpretation theories were all built on the theory of unconscious, and regarded dreams as the fast track to unconscious, they had different understandings on the nature, function, mechanism and analytic methods of dream. We should treat their dream theories differently in order to serve the practice of dream interpretation better.
