We introduce here a pilot study concerning the hypothesis that dreams reoccur preconscious feelings the dreamer experienced the day before sleeping (i.e. a dream is a repetition of recent waking life emotional concerns).

This approach has been successfully tested on a series of 42 dreams and, so, we really can hypothesis that there is a link between a sequence of feelings in dreams and a sequence of “under-exposed” – one could say preconscious – day before reel feelings. (See the examples of the aggressive giant dream, the stoned in flight dream, the little inflatable boat dream, the married mistress dream, irrefutable cases).

Then, considering that dreams are reoccurrences of pre-sleep real feelings we link dreamt-images to real-life things through the similarities of the feelings (this is our “translating equation”) , we apply this approach in the case of people in dreams – including the dreamer as the central person of his dreams – and we suggest how we can enter psychological concepts through dreams. (See towards a dreamt-sourced psychology?). Of course, we propose a few words concerning the symbolism.

Unfortunately, our considerations rely upon the dreams of a single individual. That’s why these introspective experiences are just offered for the convenience of subsequent investigators.

Nevertheless, if it was confirmed that dreams reproduce waking life psychological processes which have been recently experienced, then, we should have to consider dreams as excellent scientific observations (see scientific dimension of dreams).

Then, considering that dreams are a media of the preconscious real-life, we propose to focus to a very profitable question “how is the psychological field according to the generator of dreams?” and we suggest a first presentation (See Psychology of inclinations).
