Analysis of Dreams | Wayne Bao | TEDxBrighouse


I could remember it clearly my feet go
stood upon the concrete ground as I ran
away I could feel him chasing me when I
turned around there was nothing there it
was perhaps too dark I thought to myself
feeling of despair engulfed me I was
running down the street a few
streetlights lit up the way and the road
looked familiar
I was searching for something a house
perhaps but I didn’t know why my heart
was beating fast could feel the thumping
in my ears I was in trouble I thought to
myself in fact I could not I had nowhere
to run I could not hide I could not
fight
suddenly black taxi pulled over and I
hopped in I was relieved and that’s when
I woke up so let’s talk about dreams
we each have about three to five things
each night we end up forgetting all of
them it’s scientifically proven that
dreams are central or not essential for
the human body but sleep is so why do we
dream and how can we use our
understanding of dreams for our own
advantage I personally never thought
about the meaning of dreams for my own
dreams until I stumbled across work by
Sigmund Freud namely the interpretation
of dreams I realized that my dreams and
everyone else’s dreams reflected an
aspect of their own life for me those
are anxiety and stress before exams so
recently there have been different
theories about why we dream and why it’s
beneficial to understand them many
people believe that it’s essential for
us to understand our dreams to maintain
ourselves emotionally and
psychologically psychologists also
believe it one key psychologist that
studied this field was Sigmund Freud now
after doing some research and learning
about Freud’s work
I decided to do some analysis on my
drink and the results were shocking I
learned new things about myself
for example Freud said that the numerous
dream symbols in my dream did have
meaning the fact that I was getting
teeth represented that I was running
away from something in my life and that
I was afraid of something and since I
didn’t know what I was running away from
or who it’s likely an aspect of myself
maybe I was just feeling nervous or if I
was feeling sad recently I wanted to get
away from this feeling the house the
house I was looking for represented a
difficulty in making decision in real
life I feel like that this impact me
greatly and I hope that after you learn
about Freud’s work and his research you
might YouTube can also understand and
analyze your own things let’s start off
by talking about who Sigmund Freud was
to me which some of you may have well
Freud was considered the father of
psychoanalysis which is the study of a
mind and he revolutionized the study of
Dreams for and said that everything we
do every action that we do in everyday
lives is a affected by the unconscious
mind the unconscious mind is it
communicates to us to dream it’s our
repressed desires and it is to dreams
that we unleash these urges for into
that being conscious mind expresses
itself more symbolically than literally
because some dreams just have no meaning
at birth and to study the mind free
categorize the mind into three parts the
in the super ego and the ego so what are
these three parts now the in is
basically our most primitive desires our
goals or desires or wishes in our
society but these may not be all
socially or morally acceptable the
super-ego is basically the field
it removes these ideas in our everyday
lives we don’t think about them actively
and that’s where we get to the ego the
Eagle is a part of the mind that we are
aware of it’s what we think about when
we talk to other people our behaviors
and actions in society and so now we can
move on to analyzing our dreams and the
steps that we need to take after
understanding how how the mind works the
first step that we should take is we
should think about the dream and think
about who were in the dream the people
in the dream so did you dream about an
actor a friend family member and since
that we know that the unconscious mind
represents itself symbolically then we
know that these people are not literal
so say if you dream an actor and he
always plays a villain role maybe it
just be in bad aspect of your life next
we need to think about the images in our
dreams who was the setting like was it a
house was it a hospital these are common
images and these represents strength
next we should think about how we felt
during the dream so do we feel anger do
we feel sadness after the win this is
important it how we understand our own
good
some common dream symbols that Freud
talks about we should talk about now is
water feeling overwhelmed vehicles
leaving a new direction in life and
houses having difficulty making a
decision in life and the final step here
I believe is where the magic happens
because you put everything together and
we analyze it are you feeling stressed
recently are you dreaming of symbolic
dream symbols such as water then maybe
it’s time to change an aspect of life so
you can live healthier and happier now I
want to tell you about hell Freeman
Alice’s / personally affected me and how
it may help you to so after doing some
research I analyze my own dream
and I wrote it down and some things were
quite accurate I was pretty surprised so
for example at the time of the dream I
had a piano exam going on and it was
quite stressed out and this was about a
few weeks before the exam and I knew I
had to do it but I kind of wanted to
give up and this gives me gave me extra
anxiety another thing was that over the
summer my friends were all doing
academics they were doing sports and it
seemed they were getting ahead well I
was stuck at home doing piano and
playing video games which is partly due
to my own phone so I never really
thought about how I felt until I did
dream analysis and what these dreams
meant to me and that I believed that
this was an important process for me so
dreams are important because it’s a
self-reflection it’s how you communicate
with yourself they’re not consciously
it’s a way that we think about our minds
and our emotions and it’s important to
address these factors in our everyday
lives in which we are so busy yet
obviously every dream is personal life
but I want to raise the question of how
any of you feel when you dream and
whether realizing the problems through
your dreams will help you solve them and
help you and help you live a healthier and better life thank you
