Conversation
: Daydreams: Concealed and Revealed in Therapy
Everybody daydreams. Daydreams revealed
in therapy, however, can be understood as valuable information to understand a patient¹s personality including character traits, symptoms, and distress. Daydreams are different from nocturnal dreams. One of the most important aspects of daydreams is that daydreams are often concealed in therapy. As a result, daydreams may be missed by the therapist as a way of understanding unconscious material. This conversation will elicit a discussion of daydreams in psychotherapy.

1. Participants will be able to distinguish the difference between daydreams and nocturnal dreams.
