Freud


This is similar to the taste of the first milk the baby has from the mother when he starts sucking. During the oral passive stage, the EGO, the rational and conscious part of our minds, starts to develop. After getting to the edge of the lake, Mr. Kleinman describes a horrible and disgusting feeling caused by thick and stinky mud that he was into up to his waist. This compares to the stage of the toilet training in the baby's development, called the anal-retentive stage. Here, the child starts to recognize internal sensations. Subsequently, the guy felt very uncomfortable and overwhelmed by the feeling and odor of the mud, which makes reference to the feces. Next comes the anal-expulsive stage, when the baby wants to get rid of the "mud". In this stage, kids are very interested in the products of their own bodies. They are rebellious and out of control. In the dream, the patient suddenly started feeling much better because the mud was converted into silver-white sand. He loved that feeling as much as the baby does when he has the diaper changed and feels clean and comfortable again. This also happens when little kids are finally able to go to the toilet by themselves. Like Mr. Kleinman, they feel on "dry land". Moreover, the clean sand made a path going into the distance. This path takes the baby to the next stage: the phallic stage. This is called the Oedipal conflict, which happens when the child falls in love with his mother. At this point, the SUPEREGO develops. It is governed by the morality principle and it is the last part of the personality to be formed. Besides, the father is his opponent in the battle for his mom's attention. In Freud's psychosexual stages of development 4 the dream, we find a representation of this stage in the part when the man gets to a large tower. This tower is the symbol associated with the father's penis. As we know, the penis is the representation of the source of a man's power.
