-Process that guides adaptation/ wholeness via opponent processing is unconscious
-Unconscious has a different ‘language’ compared to consciousness

Dream analysis steps

  2. Connecting the dream to inner dynamics: We look for and find the parts of our inner selves that the dream images represent. We find the dynamics at work inside us that are symbolized by the dream situation
  3. Interpreting: Put together info from first two steps and arrive at a view of the dreams meaning when taken as a whole
  4. Making the dream concrete: Learn to do rituals that will make the dream more conscious, imprint its meaning more clearly on our minds, and give it the concreteness of immediate physical experience
