Mark A Cella is one of the worlds prominent dream analysts. From his clinic and institute in La Jolla California, he is a highly sought lecturer and private consultant, giving keynote speeches at sleep research and psychiatry conferences in Berlin and San Francisco.
In a way, the sex expressed in our dreams is freed from the barriers of convention. It corresponds with our innate, pan-sexual predisposition. In our unconscious, in the psychogenic symptoms, and in dream images we all employ these primitive cravings. They are understandable to those who understand pre-logical types of thinking. Many Primordial drives re-appear in dreams. With them, bisexuality, cruelty, and cannibalism are often present.
Bisexual motives can be observed in myths and religions as well as in dreams. Ancient divinities were often represented as bisexual beings ( A Sumerian statue of a male god also has breasts ). Egyptian Kings also carried a bisexual symbol of their power.
Most subjects provide us with homosexual dreams, as for instance, a dream in which a man is pregnant. One of my patients, a twenty-eight-year-old druggist, dreamed that he was a married woman trying to get a divorce.
