The research method 'Structural Dream Analysis' (SDA) is described which allows for systematic and objective analysis of the meaning of dreams produced by patients in Jungian psychotherapies. The method focuses especially on the relationship between the dream ego and other figures in the dream and the extent of activity of the dream ego. Five major dream patterns were identified which accounted for the majority of the dreams. The clients' dream series were dominated by one or two repetitive patterns which were closely connected to the psychological problems of the dreamers. Additionally, typical changes in the dream series' patterns could be identified which corresponded with therapeutic change. These findings support Jung's theory of dreams as providing a holistic image of the dreamer's psyche, including unconscious aspects. The implications for different psychoanalytic theories of dreaming and dream interpretation are discussed as well as implications for the continuity hypothesis.

荣格的梦理论和当代梦研究——来自“结构梦分析”研究项目的发现

描述了“结构性梦分析”（SDA）的研究方法，它允许对荣格心理治疗中患者产生的梦的含义进行系统和客观的分析。该方法特别关注梦自我与梦中其他人物之间的关系以及梦自我的活动程度。确定了五种主要的梦模式，它们占了大部分的梦。来访者的梦系列以一两个重复的模式为主，与做梦者的心理问题密切相关。此外，可以确定梦系列模式中的典型变化，这与治疗变化相对应。这些发现支持荣格的梦理论，因为它提供了做梦者心理的整体形象，包括无意识的方面。讨论了对不同的做梦和梦解释的精神分析理论的影响以及对连续性假设的影响。
