Abstract
Dream analysis has been considered as an important part of psycotherapy in Psychoanalysis, Analytical Psychology and Daseinanalysis. In this article I reviewed the basis belonging to the three original and specific theories for dream analysis and interpretation from Freud, Jung and Boss. The functioning of each theory will be illustrated by means of the analysis and interpretation of one typical and famous dream of the correspondent literature. The new conclusion has been that dreaming apparently adjusts itself to the theory that will be used to analyze and interpret the dreams.
