Symbolic imagery refers to the use of symbols or metaphors in dreams to represent and process emotions. Dreams often present emotional content in a disguised or symbolic form, allowing individuals to explore and work through their feelings.
The unconscious mind refers to thoughts, memories, desires, and other mental processes that are not currently within conscious awareness but still influence behavior and experiences.
Dream analysis involves interpreting the symbols and content of dreams to gain insight into an individual's unconscious thoughts, conflicts, or emotions.
