An Experiential Study on the Evaluation of Significance of the Dreams

In the psychotherapeutic process, I had evaluated the significance of dreams. In each case, I followed the ways the unconscious suggested itself through dreams. Here, from my experience of treatments, I tried to deduce some criteria for evaluating the significance of dream. Dreams and symbols are the language of the unconscious. The com m on facts in the communication method of the unconscious with the conscious in significant dreams are used as the criteria. The criteria are as follows: 1) Dream s accom panying intense and enduring emotion. 2) Vivid dream s of dreams with persistent memory about themselves. 3) Repeated dreams. 4) A dream perceived as a important one by itself. 5) Hallucinatory dreams. 6) Dream s with archetypal iamges or symbols 7) Dream s in which the scenes change abruptly and repeatedly. 8) Initial dreams
