Explore your own dream world. Keep a notepad and pen or tape recorder by your bedside. Before going to bed tell yourself that you are going to wake up after a dream. When you wake up, keep your eyes closed and review your dream before attempting to record it. Collect a minimum of 5 dreams over a 1- to 2-week period.

Now, look at each dream from the approaches in your text. What is revealed to you when you analyze a dream for its unconscious wishes as opposed to the dream being your opportunity to deal with emotional issues as opposed to an informational "in-out basket" of processing? Which approach makes the most sense to you?
