A Model of Dream Interpretation : Introduction to Dreams
(1) All people have 4-5 dreams each night
(remember 1-2 each week); therefore all
clients dream
-Not
everyone is open to and/or remembers their dreams
(2) Some clients have frequent nightmares,
whether they present them to the therapist or not,
and
therefore can gain insight/relief from dream interpretation
(3) Dream interpretation can be an effective way
to explore, gain insight into problems
(4) Dream interpretation can be an effective way
for the counselor and client to collaborate
(i.e.,
therapist and client solve the puzzle together)
(5)
Dream interpretation fits nicely into brief counseling models:
-Cuts
across different theoretical orientations
-Opens
up material that typically takes much longer to surface
-Elaborates
on the inner conflict
