Treating a Mental Illness Through Dream Therapy

 

The unconscious mind that produces your dreams works like a natural psychotherapist. Through dream therapy you'll learn how to eliminate a mental illness from the beginning of its formation.

I will publish a part of a dream dreamt by a 20-30-years-old woman to give you an example of how a mental illness is treated through dream translation:

'Sherlock is face to face with me. His hair is dyed wine.

Dr Watson looks at a woman's head (long black hair). He says that there's poison on her hair, gently holding some strands of hair up.'

The dreamer knows that she must describe the people who appear in her dreams when she submits a dream for translation. Here is her description.

Characters:

Sherlock Holmes: High intelligence. Lack of social life. He calls himself as a high functioning sociopath. He has black hair. He gets excited and thrilled to have a new case because he considers a case a game that he can use his brain for and if he can't use his brain he gets bored. He usually shows unusual reactions to how the victims got killed; for example, he said that the way a perp murdered is pretty elegant and neat. He separates emotions. He infers a conclusion through observation. He has the ability to reason that philosophers and scientists do. His childhood dream was to be a pirate. existential psychotherapy

Dr John Watson: Army doctor. He misses wars. He possesses all the virtues that ordinary people should have. He has a sense of morality. When Sherlock makes insensitive remarks on homicide, he tells him not to. He is the only friend that Sherlock has. He is blond. He connects Sherlock with society. He has a great influence on Sherlock's relationships with people. He is like a channel of human contact for Sherlock. antisocial personality disorder test

Dream Translation:

'Sherlock is face to face with me.'

Sherlock Holmes represents a part of your own personality that is making a research and trying to understand why a certain part of your personality is dead.

He is face to face with you because this part of your personality demands the participation of your ego in this research. Your ego cannot be only a passive observer.

Your ego is the center of your human conscience, which controls your behavior when you have a strong human conscience. It will lose the control of your behavior if you'll pay attention to the absurd suggestions of your primitive anti-conscience.

'His hair is dyed wine.'

The hair in dreams represents the dreamer's ideas. I presume you meant that his hair color was red like wine.

Since Sherlock's hair is red like wine this means that this part of your personality has aggressive ideas. This is the meaning of the red hair. online marriage counseling

'Dr Watson looks at a woman's head (long black hair).'

Dr Watson represents a more sensitive part of your personality, even though this part of your personality has cruel ideas because Watson is blonde. This is the meaning of blonde hair.

This part of your personality is merely less insensitive than the part of your personality represented by Sherlock Holmes; it is not really sensitive. However, Dr Watson is more sensitive than Sherlock.

This woman is a part of your personality too.

The hair in dreams represents ideas as I told you before. Therefore, the part of your personality that has black hair is a futile and superficial part of your personality (because it is feminine), and its ideas accept what is bad. This is the meaning of the black color: you accept what is bad in your life.

The black hair of this futile part of your personality indicates that your ideas don't fight what is bad. In other words, this part of your personality accepts what is bad without criticism.

'He says that there's poison on her hair, gently holding some strands of hair up.'

The sensitive part of your personality represented by Dr Watson understands that the futile part of your personality (the girl with black hair) has poisonous ideas.

The poisonous ideas of this part of your personality want to get revenge on your enemies.

Sherlock Holmes is a detective. In all his stories he looks for a hidden murderer who committed a certain crime. This is why we can understand that he represents a part of the dreamer's personality that is looking for a dead person. A dead person in dreams represents a dead part of the dreamer's personality. Psychotherapy

In other words, we can understand that due to the sad experiences that this dreamer had in the past, a positive part of her personality has died. Without treatment, the hatred accumulated in her psyche will be transformed into a mental illness. She must analyze her past again and understand many things that she couldn't understand before in order to prevent a mental illness, or in order to cure a mental illness already formed.

The unconscious mind will eliminate her false impressions and erroneous conclusions. She will have a global vision of the truth. She will also understand the human nature.

By following the unconscious psychotherapy in dreams, this dreamer will help the dead part of her personality resurrect. She will also learn how to forgive her enemies. This means that she will stop having thoughts of revenge thanks to the knowledge that she will acquire through dream translation. marriage counseling near me

Her attitude will change also because she will pass through a process of psychological transformation and spiritual purification. She will understand her own mistakes, and why she had to face this battle in life. She will also learn how to avoid traumatic experiences in the future and find permanent peace of mind.
