It is all nonsense to be sure and so much the greater nonsense inasmuch as the true interpretation of many dreams - not by any means of all dreams - moves it may be said in the opposite direction to the method of psycho-analysis.
The usual comment from psychologists and psychiatrists was that it's best not to encourage people to look at their dreams because they are liable to stir up problems for themselves.
I published in 1978 a report on dreams in the Journal of Clinical Psychology. It was the first study of its kind to demonstrate that it is possible for people to make constructive use of their dreams to improve their lives.
I found myself very lost after 'The Partridge Family ' and I lost my dad and I lost my manager and I lived in a bubble and it took me 15 years to get through that and a lot of psychotherapy and I'm laughing about it now!
My dad is a doctor a professor of psychiatry and my mum is a psychotherapist.
My mother's a psychologist my stepfather's a psychologist my stepmother is a therapist and my dad's a lawyer. So it was all prominent in my life. I don't know anyone who doesn't know someone on some form of prescription medicine.
It's a complex relationship when your dad happened to be president and you are president and then you have all the amateur psychology that goes on when people try to speculate about motivations.
I forgive my mom for being a psycho and my dad for being a loser.
I find that communication as an actor and person is an important part of who I am. And I'm really drawn into the psychology of those dynamics.
The culture is going into a psychological depression. We are concerned about our place in the world about being competitive: Will my children have as much as I have? Will I ever own my own home? How can I pay for a new car? Are immigrants taking away my white world?
