A vast number of people have troublesome dreams and they seek advice.

The interpretation and analysis must be made not just about the content of the dream but about the nature of the dream itself, including the present situation of the dreamer.

Psychoanalysis is the study and explanation of how our behaviour reflects, and is reflected by, what takes place in the mind.
