We also illustrated the differences between the clinical use of dreams as an indicator for changes in the inner (traumatic) object world in psychoanalyses and the systematic, „scientific“ investigation of laboratory dreams by the so-called „Moser-method“ and by showing that these changes are also evident on a neurobiological level. The case report focused on the importance of the psychoanalytic context of dreams, the observation of transference and countertransference reactions, the associations of the patient and the analysand etc. necessary to unravel the unconscious meaning of the dream (Leuzinger-Bohleber, 2012). One great advantage of the psychoanalytical clinical „research“ on dreams continues to be the understanding of the meaning of a dream in cooperation with the dreamer—the patient. His association, and conscious and unconscious reactions to a dream interpretation still are the criteria in order to evaluate the „truth“ of the interpretation (see. e. g. Leuzinger-Bohleber, 1987, 1989, 2008). To make a long story short: the transformation of the unconscious world (like dreams) – and as products of it the maladaptive emotions, cognitions and behaviours („symptoms“) of the patient – still remain the final psychoanalytical criteria for a therapeutic „success“ based on „true insights“ of the patient in his unconscious functioning. @)15-1.*$#! Ongoing studies at the Sigmund-Freud-Institut, Frankfurt, show promising results combining clinical and experimental dream studies. The careful investigation of dreams in the psychoanalytical situation as well as of dreams reported in the sleep laboratory show parallel findings concerning the transformation of dreams in psychoanalyses. The preliminary results suggest that psychoanalysis- induced transformation can be assessed in an objective way. G$#.1/.!!
