Freud had many ideas that are impossible to prove scientifically, but it is enticing to think that we can understand why we behave as we do: it would be so cool to be able to explain our seemingly inexplicable behaviors. Freud believed that our dreams were “the royal road to the unconscious.” What do you think your dreams are revealing to you about your unconscious? Describe a dream that you had recently, or one that often recurs. Be sure to choose a dream that is specific and vivid – not just a series of random images. Using Freud’s idea that our dreams reveal our true feelings, try explaining what your dream is telling you about your true feelings. Provide support for your explanation by tying the dream to your history or a recent event, or discuss why (in your opinion) Freud’s theory is a sham.
