Relationship of the Content of Dreams to Personal Conflicts (open access)

Relationship of the Content of Dreams to Personal Conflicts

This study will endeavor to substantiate the theory that dreaming serves the function of trying to handle conflicts met by the individual during waking life, but not resolved at the time.

A relationship will be drawn between this difference in content and the known difference in the types of conflicts common to each of the populations.
