Exercise 4
Sample
1. I think Jennifer’s nightmare has something to do with her fear of failure, failure in exams, failure in living up to her Parents’ expectations etc. She probably didn’t do well at collage and she had experienced failures. What she feared in life was represented in her dream.

2. I often have nightmares and my nightmares are generally the same. One typical nightmare I have is that I am chased by someone and I try to run fast but I can’t. And usually when I am about to be caught I wake up, sometimes sweating all over. I’ve told people about it and the interpretation given is that my schedule is too tight most of the time. I don’t know how Freud would interpret it, but the interpretation seems to make sense.

Script
Part A
Jennifer is talking to an interviewer about her nightmare.

Jennifer: It was always the same. Always. I was in a house, a strange house, and I knew somehow that I shouldn’t have gone in. But there was some strange force pulling me. There were some stairs…very steep stairs… and I started to climb them, and … and then, suddenly fell. Then when I was at the bottom of the stairs, I suddenly realized that there was someone…or something else in the house with me, and that these eyes had been watching me all the time, and… I knew then that something terrible…was going to happen to me…that I was going to be punished…because I’d done something I shouldn’t have done. I didn’t know what it was, but I knew it was wrong, very wrong. Then I could hear it…whatever it was in the house with me…coming closer in the darkness, because everything was dark, you see, and it came closer and closer. And I was scared…and there was nothing, nothing I could do to avoid it…nothing. I was trapped! Trapped in that dark house at the bottom of the stairs. There was no way out.

Interviewer: And how often…

Jennifer: No way out !

Part B

Interviewer: How often have you had this nightmare?

Jennifer: When I was in college, just about every time I had an exam. And then, a few years later, when I was taking an intensive Italian course in Italy, I had the same dream again. Just the same as before.

Interviewer: And you discussed it with a psychoanalyst ?

Jennifer: Yes, later, after I came back to Los Angles, I started therapy, and this dream came up, and we discussed it quite a bit.

Interviewer: And what did the psychoanalyst say?

Jennifer: He said…uh…you have to be very careful about interpreting dreams, but we both agreed that the dream was a symbol of my fear of failure…of disappointing my parents when I was in college, for example, by failing my dreams, or…or when I was taking that Italian course, I remember how scared I was sometimes.

Interviewer: Scared of what?

Jennifer: Of making mistakes in class, in front of the teacher or the other students. I was always in fear.

Interviewer: I see.

Jennifer: And the dream was a kind of classic symbol of that fear…of the fear of failure. Falling down stairs in a dream is a symbol of that. The two words are very similar.

Interviewer: Which…which two words? Oh, you mean…

Jennifer: Yes, fall-fail, falling-failure. Very similar, aren’t they?

1. In Chinese culture, fish is a symbol of prosperity. As a dream symbol, fish, particularly salmon, is associated with knowledge and intelligence. If you dream about eating fish, it is believed that you gain knowledge and wisdom.
2. In dreams, the snake has many interpretations. It is regarded as a symbol of temptation or wisdom. It is also interpreted as someone trying to harm you in underhanded or sneaky manner. In Chinese culture, it is believed that snake is a symbol of fortune in a dream.
3. The sword in a dream is a symbol of power, authority, protection, or a need to cut away some part or aspect in your life.
4. Something that is covered with dust is something that has not been touched for a long time. Therefore, dust in a dream may be a symbol of a shut away emotion, fear, or desire within the conscious.
5. Houses in dreams are regarded by many psychoanalysts as representing one’s personality. If you dream about a beautiful house, you could have a positive self-image. If you dream that you keep moving from house to house, you may have been trying different aspects of your personality, or you may be trying to find out what kind of person you are. And the level of the room in the house is believed to indicate the depth of a particular part of personality in you unconscious. But the basement in a dream, for instance, can be as a symbol of the deepest part your personality.
6. Death in ad dream can mean the death or change to a part of your personality or the end of a certain phase in your life, For instance, if you dream that a friend dies, it could mean that you have ended up or you have been feeling the need to end up a period of time spent with them.

Script
New research shows that dreams are often distorted reflections of our daily life. many experts now believe our dreams are so closely related to our waking lives that we can use them to help us recognize inner conflicts.
