Why do people ask dream interpretation questions in Psychology?
Because very few people have an understanding about what Psychology is. Though on saying that, I read a good article about clinicians who do actually use dream analysis (to what success I have to wonder) who talk about the standard interpretations being useless as we are all different and so we should look at interpreting our own dreams individually. As they said, what a house means to a builder might mean something different to an arsonist. I still see the whole thing as crap so I agree with you 100% but for those out there who really must use dream interpretation, look at your dreams by yourself.
