ABSTRACT

This chapter provides to a series of different types of dreams from the analyses of different patients. It outlines the material that was of importance in the progress of the analysis. Each patient has an individual psychology. The technique demanded of the analyst must be fashioned not only from the analyst's knowledge of the unconscious mind, but from his own ability to adapt himself to a specific individual. The problems of an individual are inseparable from special environmental factors and these are more important to know as any other if our technique is to be a subtler instrument than the yardstick which measures every type of cloth. Analytic technique is an applied art and as in all art its principles are conditioned by the limitations of its medium.
