“…To die to sleep,
To sleep, perchance to Dream; Ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause…” (Hamlet. William Shakespeare)Although more than 100 years have elapsed, the conception of dream life which Freud established in 1900s is still today the essential referent in therapy. “The Interpretation of Dreams” which Freud maintained as his most important work, goes far beyond the explanation of dreaming, by proposing a general model of how the mind works, both on a normal and a pathological basis. From 1900 until the present day, both post-Freudian contemporary developments, as well as discoveries in neuropsychiatry have increased knowledge regarding dream formation, but still we remain with no other new theory. This course will study the legacy of the interpretations of dreams applied in clinical practice using case methodology. We will review Freud’s revisions in his theory of dreams, and its application for dream psychology in the analytic and therapeutic situation.
Further, we will use the same case (Martha) for clinical interpretation of different theoretical dream models, with more intensive focus on the Object Relations Model. Trauma and bereavement dreams will be analyzed, as well as patient cases presented by students.
Finally, we will explore dreams within the postmodern context reflecting changes in cultural, environmental, political and emotional contexts.
