In early 2004, Shanghai's first dream analysis clinic was quietly born in a hospital in Changning District.

At 9 am on the 9th, the reporter came to the West suburb Greenland Hospital (that is, Changning District Mental Health Center). A European-style ward building came into view. The dream Analysis Clinic is at the end of the hallway on the third floor of the outpatient building, and next door is an ordinary psychological consultation room.

Dr. Wang, a dream analyst, said she receives up to six visitors a day and spends an average of one hour with each person because of the need to have a more in-depth understanding of each visitor. Unlike other treatments, she says, dream analysis specifically requires a patient's trust in the doctor. A complete analysis of a dream, one or two conversations is not enough, in foreign countries to emphasize long-term analysis, only the doctor has become a close friend of the patient, the patient will tell the dream without concealing, and successfully recall the previous experience. Only in this way can satisfactory therapeutic effect be achieved. She says many of her visitors have established long-term relationships with her.

The reporter learned that the fee standard of the dream analysis clinic is one yuan per minute.

What is the analysis of dreams

'Dreams have a symbolic language, which is not accessible to the average person and requires professionals who have been working on dream analysis for a long time. Translation ’ Come out.' Sun Shijin, vice president of the Shanghai Psychological Society and director of the Psychological Research Center of Fudan University, said that 'dream analysis' doctors should have deep and long-term clinical experience, and have more in-depth contact and communication with visitors, so that visitors can truly understand themselves, so as to achieve the role of treatment.
