Oh, psychoanalysis, then why do i keep seeing questions asking for dreams to be "read" like cards, predict the future, etc. as if the category is "occult" or something like that. Isn't "dream analysis" a better term to use?

  1. And in which category do you want it to be included? Physical Science, Applied Science blahblahblah.

    well i guess, it's because dream interpretation falls under psychoanalysis


  2. You see questions about the occult because of the ignorance of the questioners, rather than the level of intelligence of the ones who categorized.

    I believe that dream interpretation rightfully fits under social sciences because it is one aspect of psychological study and understanding.

  3. I agree. Dream Interpretation falls under social science because it is used in psychoanalysis as one of the major technique to delved into the persons subconscious.
