ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the research trends of overseas journals related to dream analysis over the five-year period between 2019 and 2023, and to draw implications for future domestic research directions related to dream analysis. For this purpose, 84 overseas journals searched on Google scholar from 2019 to 2023 were selected and analyzed for research trends, including publication year, journal by topic, theory of use, major research topics, and research methods. The results of the analysis showed that, first, the number of published studies increased from 2019 to 2021 and then decreased, and related studies were active in each country during the COVID-19 period. Second, there was a tendency to interpret the unconscious through dream analysis and apply it to various fields. Third, the trend of research methods was 53 studies using qualitative research, 24 studies using quantitative research, 5 mixed studies, and 2 meta-analyses. Finally, we discuss our findings and suggest further research in the field of dream analysis.
