ABSTRACT

Sigmund Freud spoke of dreams as being "the royal road to the unconscious", an issue that has been a subject of debate over the decades. One place to begin understanding of dreams is the initial insight that Freud had regarding dreams in his piece de resistance, The Interpretation of Dreams. One of his first major insights was that dreams are the fulfillment of a wish. The unconscious is composed of wishes seeking discharge, and one way of expressing these wishes is disguised in a dream. Eichler Seth M. D found that dreams are not limited to the expression of a single wish; rather, they can express multiple wishes. What follows is a session in which a dream plays a very prominent role. What follows is a session in which a dream plays a very prominent role.
