This research examines relationship between parenr complexes and ego development by analyzing dreams of a female client in her 20s. From a viewpoint of depth psychology, excessively strong parent complexes either delays or interferes with a natural course of ego development, which as a result, disturbs timely adjustment to peer groups or a society at large. In such case, one is likely to lose sense of control over the surrounding, leading to a stare of neutosIs. These stages rake place mostly unconsciously, and thus, analysis of one`s dreams can partly reveal how patent complexes intervenes In a healthy course of ego development, and how it can be overcome. The research examines a case study of a woman in her 20s who has strong patent complexes. She had a seriously neganve telarlonship wlth her patents, and SOCially, she was In a very Isolated and withdrawn stare. She reported haVing many dreams, an outcome of the vigorous energy trapped In her unconsciousness, and this research analyzes some of her dreams that she reported early in the sessions. It can be shown that the client actively tackled her psychological issues even from the early stage of the analysis.
