著名的瑞士精神病學和心理學家榮格(Carl Jung)一生中分析了20000個夢,創建了榮格理論,他認為現代性的困境與個人意義的喪失有關,需要借著重新與心靈深處的集體潛意識連結,建立新的價值,以找到個人靈魂的歸屬。
近期,國外記者采訪了榮格學派的心理治療師Carder Stout。Stout提到,夢是人們心靈潛意識中的一個窗口,夢境和現實往往充滿了隱喻,人們可以從中提取出非常重要的信息,他對10種常見的夢境進行了解析。周公你怎麼看呢?
夢到懷孕
如果夢到懷孕,這基本上意味著你的內心向往一種全新的生活,內心充滿新的能量和想法想法。這也許意味著你正經曆著某種複興和重生,你正在朝著一個全新的方向前進。在生活中你可能會發生蛻變,轉變成一個不同的人。
If you dream about being pregnant...
"It essentially means that there is some kind of new life inside of you, that there is new energy inside of you, that there are new ideas inside of you," said Stout. "Perhaps you are going through some sort of renaissance or rebirth, moving in a whole new direction. You're shedding a skin or a layer and transforming into a different aspect of your life."
夢到認識的人
按照榮格派的觀點,夢其實是無意識對於個體意識的智慧忠告,讓個體意識能夠更多意識到自己所處的位置和實際情況是什麼。這就是夢的意義。夢是一種無意識和意識間的補償行為。它科促使一個人可能需要認真去對待的某些事情。
如果你夢到一個具體的人,那麼這個人在我們的生活中應當占有特殊的地位。如果你和某個人約會後開始夢到他們,你可以仔細想想,這個人對你代表著什麼?這個人有什麼樣的品質?這個人讓你想起了什麼?實際上的夢境也是值得反思的。如果你夢到的人是沉著冷靜的,實際上你夢到的是自己沉著冷靜的特質,這也許需要引起你的關注。”
If you dream about your ex...
"If we're dreaming about a specific person, then that person is representative of a particular aspect in ourselves," said Stout. "So if you had been dating someone and you start dreaming about them, you have to ask yourself, 'What do they represent to me? What sort of qualities do they have? What do they remind me of?' You're actually dreaming about those aspects in yourself -- it's reflective rather than literal. If your ex was philosophical and you're dreaming about that ex, then you are dreaming about that part of you, that philosophical part of you. Maybe it needs nurturing or attention."
夢到牙齒脫落
這是一個對世界各地不同文化背景人群都具經典意義的夢。
你可以想想在我們生活中牙齒掉光代表了什麼內容。最初在我們還是嬰兒時開始長牙,隨著我們成長為少年時,乳牙會全部換掉,然後再長出來。所以,牙齒的掉落代表著過渡時期的生活。如果你正在經曆生活中麵臨很大變化的階段時,你會比較的焦慮,這時候你可能會做這樣的夢,這表明你正在成長並且正在發生改變。
If you dream about your teeth falling out...
According to Stout, this dream is an archetypal one, affecting people all over the world from a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
"Think about what that represents to us in life when our teeth fall out. Initially they grow in when we are infants, and they fall out as we are children growing into adolescents, and then they grow back in again. Our teeth falling out represents a transitional time in life. If you're going through some phase in your life where there's a lot of change and that's creating anxiety, that's when you're going to have a dream like this one. It's a sign that you're growing and evolving and transforming."
夢到死亡
人們看待死亡與看待新生命出現的方式非常相似,是人們正在談論的一些模式或方麵正在消亡的象征。這些東西曾經對我們有用,但是我們目前不再需要它們了。我們可能會放棄工作或者搬家,可能會在經曆分手的痛苦過程。死亡的夢是對於我們正在放棄事物的象征。
If you dream about death...
"We look at death in a very similar way to how we look at the emergence of new life," said Stout. "Symbolically, we are talking about some pattern or aspect of ourselves that is dying -- some persona that we've had for a while, something that's not serving us anymore, and we're moving in a different direction. Maybe we're quitting a job or moving homes, maybe we are engaged in a breakup and we're starting the grieving process. Dreams about death are really about an aspect of ourselves that we are letting go of."
經常做惡夢
在生活中,我們會經曆負麵的情緒,這可能會潛藏到我們心底,產生潛在的情感傷害。人的大腦不會消除這些創傷,反而會在記憶中保持這些負麵情緒。這些記憶就是我們經常做惡夢的根源。
當我們保持著這種創傷的能量時,它往往會出現在我們的夢中。如果我們開始做某些特定的或者類似的夢時,這大致表明我們的心理健康需要得到關注。我需要找到擴散某種負能量的途徑,因為負能量對我們的傷害很大,如果不注意,會產生不良的影響。惡夢總是出現,因為這些情緒需要得到解決。
If you have a recurrent nightmare...
Stout explained that throughout our lives, we experience negative things and internalize them, creating underlying emotional traumas. The human mind is notorious for holding these memories inside rather than releasing the traumas they've created. And those consistent suppressions lie at the roots of recurrent nightmares.
"When we are holding on to this traumatic energy, it often shows up in our dreams," he said. "If we start dreaming about a certain thing over and over or having similar types of dreams, it's basically our psyche telling us, 'Please pay attention to me. Please look at me. I have grown to a point where there needs to be some diffusion of this energy, because it's too large and too harmful, and if you don't pay attention, there are going to ramifications.' It shows up over and over and over again because it needs to be addressed."
夢到外遇
這種夢境是不誠實的意思,但它代表的是我們對自己不誠實,對於我們自己,我們抑製或忽視了一些東西。這些不真實的部分是代表與心靈的關係。說明我們目前對於自己的需求不誠實。
If you dream about having an affair...
"It's really about dishonesty, but it's about you being dishonest with yourself," said Stout. "There is something that you are suppressing or not giving attention to or actively being deceitful about within yourself. The infidelity part of it is how the psyche represents a relationship. So you're being unfaithful essentially to your own needs."
夢到動物
類似牙齒脫落的夢境,夢到動物也可以找到它的原型。不同的動物意味著不同的東西,不同的文化,因此,這也可能是影響你的一種方式。
以蛇為例。從我們的個人生活開始,之後進入我們的潛意識生活,然後就可以找到原型。我們有蛇嗎?我們是不是在蛇店看到過它?我們有什麼關於蛇的故事?這對我們意味這什麼?我們怕他們嗎?它們對我們有興趣嗎?所有這些都是重要的考慮因素。在神話方麵,蛇可以代表欺騙、再生、電力和其他神奇的和神秘的元素。我們要一層層地打開這些麵試,就會找到答案。
If you dream about animals...
Similar to the teeth loss scenario, animals are also archetypes, according to Stout. Different animals mean different things to different cultures, so that may influence what one means to you as well.
Take snakes as an example.
"Start with your personal life, then go into your unconscious life, and then you can look at it from an archetypal level," said Stout. "So do you have a snake? Did you ever see a snake in a snake shop? What myths have you read about snakes? What do you snakes mean to you? Are you scared of them? Are they interesting to you? All of these things are important to consider. On a mythological level, snakes can represent deception, regeneration, power and other magical or mystical elements. Unpack layer after layer after layer and see what you find."
夢到上學或上班
如果夢到一些比較緊張的情景,諸如毫無準備去參加考試,上班遲到,毫無準備去參加會議,這說明我們害怕被別人看到真正的自己,怕被人看到我們不想呈現給他們的那些方麵,這非常可怕。
專家進一步的解釋道,雖然我們可以在表明上顯得很真誠,但大多數人還是會戴上麵具,隱藏自己的人格,去麵對自己的雇主、同事、教授、甚至是同齡人。一旦這種保護被去掉會讓我們感到非常脆弱,就像我們坐在教室裏什麼都沒有穿隻穿著內褲一樣。
If you dream about school or work...
"Having a dream about not being prepared for a test or being late for work or being unprepared for a meeting, those are all just dreams about being vulnerable," said Stout. "It's about fear of people seeing the real us and who we are, a fear of people seeing the aspects of ourselves that maybe aren't the ones we want to present to them, and that's frightening."
Stout explained further that, while we may behave genuinely in professional settings, most people do still wear a mask of sorts that conceals aspects of their persona from employers, coworkers, professors and even peers. The thought of that protection being stripped away leaves us feeling vulnerable, just like sitting in a classroom in nothing but your underwear would.
夢到野性冒險
這些夢境都是偉大的夢想,許多人夢到自己在自由地飛行。這是我們內心中孩子似的能量真正表現的方式,作為孩子我們會有冒險精神,充滿自由,胡思亂想,衝動行事,生活在虛幻的世界。也許我們需要重視自己這部分需求並去培養。出現這種情況可是是我們目前的工作太辛苦了,孩子的一麵被忽視了很多,所以它們才會在夢境中展現。
If you dream about wild adventures...
"These are great dreams," said Stout. "Many people have them where they're flying. It's about that childlike energy in you that's really showing itself. As children we have that adventurous spirit and we're unconfined by overthinking things and we act impulsively and live in that almost imaginary world. Maybe you need to pay attention to that important part of you and nurture it -- go be more impulsive. Maybe you've been working too hard, chained to your desk with deadlines and things, and that childlike part of you is being neglected and needs to come out and play."
夢到食物
我們需要了解是什麼讓我們產生饑餓的夢境,如果夢到過度放縱,這可能是對我們目前生活中某些事物過度代償的象征,比如說如果我們是一個工作狂,這個夢表明我們目前做了太多的工作,沒有時間做其他的任何事情。如果夢到節食或沒有足夠食物的話,我們要仔細想想你自己的哪一部分比較饑渴,需要營養。
以後如果再有生動的夢時,醒後我們應當快速記下它,哪怕它隻是一個簡單的畫麵,我們應當花點時間了解心靈的預示。不管它是積極的還是消極的,令人興奮的或可怕的,是好的是壞的,我們要通過這個機會了解並利用它。
If you dream about food...
"Ask what is it that is starving in you, or if your dream is about overindulging, what is it that you're overcompensating with in your life right now," said Stout. "Say you're a workaholic. The dream would be saying, 'I'm swallowing too much of this work energy and I am bloated, and there is no room for anything else in my life.' Or if the dream is about restricting food or not having enough of it, what is it that you're really craving? Think about what part of yourself is starving and needs nourishment."
The next time you have a vivid dream,jot down a quick memoryof it when you awake -- even if it's just a simple visual -- and take a moment to think about what your psyche could be telling you. Whether you you felt it was positive or negative, exciting or scary, good or bad, recognize the opportunity to learn about yourself in the purest form and take advantage of it.
