Is dream interpretation psychology?

In my opinion, dream interpretation is psychology, not psychology.

Starting from our ancient tradition of "Duke of Zhou", we should have started to interpret dreams thousands of years ago.

Interpretation of dreams, this method is more about predicting the future. Many people hope to gain some mysterious power through dreams and perceive the future development trend in advance. This is the most traditional way to interpret dreams in China.

Further expansion can be extended to the dreams of the emperor and the people.

For example, Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu, was a guy with great dreams. His mother, Wang, is said to have fallen asleep by the river one day, and then dreamed of mating with dragons. Soon after returning to China, she became pregnant and gave birth to Liu Bang. Even after Liu Bang grew up, there was a legend that Liu Bang killed a white snake, and then dreamed that an old woman came to see him at night, saying that his son Betty's son was killed by Chi Di's son. ...

We can't judge whether such dreams are true or not, but they are written in our history books.

Do you think such a dream can be regarded as psychology? I think this is more like an ignorant way, which makes dreams have incredible colors and confuses ordinary people. ...

In modern times, especially with the publication of Freud's Interpretation of Dreams, many theories about dreams have been enriched at once.

Interpretation of dreams has become psychology? No, if you think so, you are not a psychologist at all.

Personally, in the process of learning our own psychological counseling theory, we don't fully accept and recognize Freud's "dream analysis". You know, Freud's theory is just a theory, and modern psychology is a science that studies people's psychological phenomena, psychological functions and behaviors. It started from 1879, when Feng Te was influenced by natural science and established a psychology laboratory, which broke away from pure speculative philosophy and became a scientific discipline.

Dream interpretation and "dream interpretation" are both theoretical and speculative things. There is no textual research on authenticity and no factual basis. They look like psychology, but they are really pseudo-psychology.

You know, the source of his writing materials is more from literary works, and the so-called theories of unconsciousness, subconsciousness, libido and sexual impulse are all his own thinking, not scientific exploration. ...

For example, now someone tells you that Duke Zhou is a psychologist. You certainly don't think so, but in fact, dream interpretation is the same, just wearing some psychological coats. ...

Of course, when we have dreams, we can still analyze our dreams. For example, repeating some dreams for a long time, such as having some suggestive dreams, etc ... but if you want to say that this is psychology, then I can only hehe. ...
