“In one of your dreams, you lost your teeth. In others, you’re barefoot, and last night, you were constantly falling down… Finally, discover the secret of your dreams by interpreting these 10 recurring dream symbols!
“Fantastic, extraordinary, chimerical, marvelous, hallucinatory, prodigious, or terrifying, the dream is a fabulous world that, every night, carries us away into its infinite imaginary universe,” explains psychoanalyst and psychotherapist Tristan-Frédéric Moir in the preamble to his “New Dictionary of Dreams” (1). “Master of allegory, metaphor, and parable, the dream eternally tells us fables that, with subtlety, gravity, or humor, teach us, give us a life lesson in the manner of fabulists like Aesop or La Fontaine. Thus, just as the fable contains an implicit moral, we can look at the dream as A structured form, carrying a lesson emanating from the Unconscious. It then becomes a matter of reflecting on dreams and their language, of considering this wondrous prose as having an intimate and relevant meaning that concerns the dreamer, an inner moral, without external judgment. However, to interpret a dream, as to penetrate the language of the fable, one must know its usage and appreciate the essence of each of its words.
