Interpreting My Dream

When interpreting a dream we have to take into consideration as Freud states,
“If the day has brought us two or more experiences which are worthy to evoke a dream, the dream will blend the allusion of both into a single whole: it obeys a compulsion to make them into a single whole
The source of a dream may be:
(a) A recent and psychologically significant event which is directly represented in the dream. *
(b) Several recent and significant events, which are combined by the dream in a single whole. *(2)
(c) One or more recent and significant events, which are represented in the dream-content by allusion to a contemporary but indifferent event. *(3)
(d) A subjectively significant experience (recollection, train of thought), which is constantly represented in the dream by allusion to a recent but indifferent impression. *(4)”

Recently I had a dream that I was walking to school. As I walked to guys approached me and tried to steal my money and my iphone. I entered a panic scene, but I wasn’t going to let them rob me. So I ran as fast as I could into the street and almost got hit by a car, but in my dream my point was not to get robbed. As I ran through the puddles, because it was raining I got all soaked up, I felt my feet were damp and cold. It was an uncomfortable feeling, and then I woke up.

This dream can be interpreted as, since I always walk to school and never before have I gotten robbed, I have a big fear of getting rob. Every day as I walk to school I always look around me and walk really fast. Also it has wish fulfillment in it because, since I have never gotten robbed and I don’t ever want to, running away and getting away with not getting rob is a wish fulfilled in my dream. When I woke up I realized, I had forgotten to wear socks therefore my feet were cold and I had an uncomfortable feeling. This stimulus made me dream that I was running through rain and my feet were damp and cold. This stimulus which made me feel uncomfortable was also the reason, why I woke up.
