Objective and Subjective
In contrast to this is the interpretation which refers every part of the dream and all the actors in it back to the dreamer himself. This I call interpretation on the subjective level. Interpretation on the objective level is analytic, because it breaks down the dream content into memory-complexes that refer to external situations. Interpretation on the subjective level is synthetic, because it detaches the underlying memorycomplexes from their external causes, regards them as tendencies or components of the subject, and reunites them with that subject. In any experience I experience not merely the object but first and foremost myself, provided of course that I render myself an account of the experience.! In this case, therefore, all the contents of the dream are treated as symbols for subjective contents.
