    How dream interpretation is used in psycho-analysis to elicit the nature of intrapsychic conflict?

    Answer:

    Ans.     According to Freud, dreams are the royal road to the unconscious. The client is asked to write down his/her dreams. Psycho-analysts believe that dreams satisfy the repressed libidinal desires which get many in the dreams in disguised and symbolic form. The images of dreams are symbols which signify intra-psychic forces. These symbols are interpreted and the client develops awareness with his/her unfulfilled desires and conflicts at conscious level.
