So I am in the final stages of my studying for tomorrow's "Term 3 Exam #2," which is half Behavioral Sciences (Psych), and one half Epidemiology/Health Systems. Of course they had to mention Freud and his theories in the Behavioral section. I found some of the dream symbols he came up with interesting: (May not be appropriate for children.)

• Smooth-fronted house = Male body
• House with ledges/balconies = Female body
• Small animals = children

Ok, so far I can see that making sense. But then it just gets weird:

• Playing with children = masturbation
• Baldness/tooth extraction = castration
• Climbing stairs/ladders; driving cars; crossing bridges = sexual intercourse

And Freud is supposed to be a genius, the so-called "Father of Modern Psychology?" Hmpf, no wonder I never put much stock in this voodoo mumbo-jumbo…

(No offense to modern psychologists/psychiatrists — I am sure current methods of psychological diagnosis and treatment are much more scientifically-based than those of Victorian-era Vienna.)
