Thread: Are our dreams seuxual thoughts put into creativity?

I love Freud

I found this at lucidity.com, it's abit long but interestin:

and you might well ask: \"But what did my dream mean? Or was it just nonsense?\" In that case, Freud would have probably explained that \"Every dream has some hidden meaning; since the manifest content of the disguised dream (the dream itself) was the result of the dream-work's transformations of the undisguised wish (the latent content of the dream). Therefore, in order to interpret your dream, it should simply be necessary to reverse the process. Since the dream disguised the latent content with images closely associated with the original wish, we can uncover the hidden message by reasoning backward from the image through a process of interpretation known as \"free association.\" If you had dreamed, let us say, that you were locking a door, Dr. Freud would ask you what was the first thing that comes into your mind in connection with the work \"lock?\" If you said, \"key,\" Freud would continue, \"key?\" And perhaps you would reply, \"tree.\" This, as you can see, might go on forever, except that Freud would probably have interrupted the process at this point and drawn on his knowledge of dream symbolism (key in lock...!) explaining that your dream expressed a wish to engage in sex![/b]

He's right

omg, key in a lock means sex?
that's a bit far fetched

of course, some ppl have dirty minds and they will think this way...

I belive dreams are more closely connected with memory and reasoning then with sex

I wouldn't doubt that theory. A lor of my interpretations from my dream dictionary have some correlation with sex.

yeah man i think and dream about sex alot! but thats consiously! add to that the unconsious thinking and the seeimgly irrelevant dreams, it's probably nearly all the time, - not direct sex, but things related to to it, and things that link with that frame of mind

maybe you can use it as a dreamsign?
for example use mantra like "I have no boyfriend in real life. if I'll find myself having sex with someone, I'll know it's a dream"

or "I have boyfriend in real life, if I'll have sex wiht someone else, I'll know it's a dream"

Think of it this way, if you had a choice to only choose one of these if you were stranded on an island what would it be?

-A bunch of food
-A really damn fine spanish lady
-TV

Which would it be? I don't know if I'm getting anywhere with this but I would take a fine lady.

i might have to go for the food if i was stranded on the island... you can't exactly live off the spanish girl. but even then, it would be a tough choice

strangely enough, i never notice too many sexually related things in my dreams... i think about that stuff plenty during the day though. i might find some stuff if i looked at things in a freudian perspective. i had a dream of a plane crash, maybe the plane entering the ground meant... nevermind

No matter how much people deny it, they take a great interest in sex. I seriously doubt our dreams are centered around sex though. Maybe having sex in a dream means unlocking a door?

lol! yes maybe that is true!
