1. The Sociological Interpretation Of Dreams
Combining qualitative interviews and theoretical reflection, this study argues that dreams are socially situated phenomena that express individuals’ practical experiences, dispositions, and positions within social structures rather than purely private unconscious contents. It shows how socialization, class, family relationships, cultural repertoires and everyday routines shape both dream content and the ways people interpret dreams, and it proposes methods for analyzing dream narratives sociologically to reveal how dreams reflect and sometimes reproduce social life.
