In Freud’s dream, the hall is full of guests , including Irma. He was blaming Irma that she did not adapt
his solution. Irma looked pale and puffy, and he called doctor M. He found that dr. m also looks quite
different from usual. Dr. M was very pale and he walked with a limp. Dr. M said Irma is being infected,
and Freud’s friend Otto gave her an injection for healing, yet the syringe had not been cleaned.

Jung had a completely different view of dreams. Freud's method of dreams is an application of
materialism, while Jung's definition of dreams is dualistic. Jung's conception of what a dream is more
profound and objective, because the archetypes that lead to dreams are collective, universal, anatomical or
biological, and therefore objective and empirical, which may be similar to Freud's dreams. Analyze
contrast, called subjective and hypothetical difference. Freud looked at the effects of dreams, which are
just many detailed external manifestations of dreams, while Jung looked at the causes of dreams, the inner
and objective psychological roots of dreams. Jung explored and discovered the objects and properties of
separate spiritual worlds such as the collective unconscious and archetypes. These have been part of every
person's biology since the beginning of race. Thus, Jung's depth psychology is defined as the interaction
between the independent collective unconscious and the individual mind and personality.

In Freud’s dream, Freud blamed Irma for not accepting his solution. The reason that this scene would
appear in his dream is that he was especially anxious not to be responsible for the pains which she still
has. His task was fulfilled when he just informed his patient of the hidden meaning of his symptoms. He
knows that he was not responsible for whether he accepted the solution.

Then, Irma was complaining that her throat, stomach and abdomen were in pain. These symptoms are
Freud’s patients' usual symptoms. As he faces many patients with these symptoms, he unconsciously
projects these symptoms onto people who are uncomfortable. Irma looked pale and puffy and he started to
wonder whether he missed any organic illness. But, in fact, he was actually wishing that there had been a
wrong diagnosis so he could get rid of the blame for his lack of success. In Jung's view, some of the
feelings associated with encountering and assimilating shadows such as fear, disgust, self-blame and
guilt, empathy, sadness, and humility. It's a good list that expresses the power of the shadows that possess
our abilities ("he is not himself today") and even overwhelm us. But it ignores shame; we all tend to be
ashamed of our own shadow, and some are even so.
The above is my analysis of Freud’s dream in Jung’s perception.
