In Gestalt therapy, one interprets the events, characters and surroundings in a dream as manifestations of himself, and is encouraged to inventory everything in the dream and analyze how each feels about him, as though the manifestations are sides of himself he hasn't addressed clearly or honestly, as well as his own feelings upon realizing them in the dream. It's the opposite of looking for symbolism from the inside out. All well and good, for example, that you think the one-eyes black cat in your dream represents your girlfriend; more importantly, what does the cat think about you?? That's where your real fears illusions are.
Just a thought.
