佛洛姆版《夢的解析》夢是超越時空的共通語言，神話、童話與儀式則是通往心靈的窗口。最具洞察力的社會心理學家佛洛姆，告訴我們：人如何在夢中看見最真實的自我人每晚都會做夢：死去的人復活、人可以任意穿越時空……這些在睡夢中出現的超現實場景，在清醒時往往被我們視為毫無意義、轉瞬即逝的影像。心理學大師佛洛姆主張：夢並非毫無意義，而是一種以「被遺忘的語言」所表達的重要訊息。這種「被遺忘的語言」就是「象徵語言」：以感官體驗與外在事件來表達人的感受與思想，其邏輯不受時間與空間的支配，以情感強度與意象聯想為核心。無論古希臘人的神話，還是今日紐約人的夢境，都用象徵語言來表達。對古代人而言，不懂得詮釋神話與夢境，形同文盲。然而現代人已遺忘這門語言――不是在睡著做夢時，而是在清醒時。佛洛姆在本書回顧佛洛伊德與榮格的釋夢理論，並提出更完整觀點。他認為夢既揭露人的非理性欲望，也展現人在清醒時難以企及的智慧。透過豐富實例，從個人夢境到伊底帕斯神話、小紅帽童話、卡夫卡的小說《審判》，佛洛姆指出，這些故事竟與我們的夢境擁有相同的語法與象徵，因此也能用理解夢的方式來閱讀與詮釋。正如《塔木德》所說：「未經理解的夢就像一封未打開的信件。」讀這本書，就像打開一扇通往人類集體心靈的門，讓我們重新看見：夢境並非毫無意義的影像，而是潛藏著文化記憶、個人心聲與生命智慧的訊息。本書特色夢是什麼？對於這個問題，不同的心理學家有不同的答案。佛洛依德說：「夢是被壓抑欲望的實現。」榮格說：「夢是集體無意識的象徵。」而佛洛姆身為心理學家與精神分析師，同樣經常以「釋夢」來治療患者。在他看來：「夢是心理活動的有意義表現，我們能運用象徵語言讀懂人的內心世界。」在《被遺忘的語言》中，佛洛姆不僅提出許多臨床案例，說明精神分析師如何運用象徵語言的原理為患者釋夢，更將這套方法擴展到更廣的領域。他指出，神話、童話、卡夫卡的小說等文學作品，都能像釋夢一樣來理解――透過象徵語言，我們能讀懂這些作品背後真正反映的內心世界。
