Orna Hadary is a training and supervising psychoanalyst of the British Psychoanalytical Society, in full-time private practice. She teaches at the Institute of Psychoanalysis and had taught for many years at the Tavistock Clinic and at other psychotherapy organisations in London and abroad. 

“The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to the unconscious activities of the mind.” (Freud, 1900).

Psychoanalysis would not exist if Freud had not paid attention to both his patients’ dreams and his own. It was this investigation that enabled him to construct his radically new model of the mind. Should we still take dreams seriously, or are they a distraction? Are nightmares and traumatic dreams different from those that help us think? How do psychoanalysts today listen to dreams, and how are they used in modern clinical practice?
