Freud's theory is a nomothetic approach as he sets a general framework for dream interpretation.
For my own part, I’m philosophically committed to the impossibility of a general interpretive framework for dreams—or for anything, since I don’t think meaning works that way. In practice, that seems to put me close to Jung on most counts—at least, if I’ve understood him correctly. But I think frameworks can be very helpful if you’ve got a knack for when to apply them.

It would be nice to see more people who are into philosophy devoting thought to dreams. It’s like a wide-open field for speculative thinkers, and how often do you get that nowadays?
