[edit] Scientific work

The dream research takes centre stage of Flöttmann's scientific practice. On this field, he is reputed to be an accounted expert.[2] Since 1986 he has deposed 35.415 dreams in a specific database: Dr. Flöttmann's Scientific Encyclopedia of Dream Symbols.[3] This Encyclopedia includes 1.452 dream symbols.[4] It is steadily updated.

If the symbol "hedge" exists 111 times within 35.415 dreams e.g., these 111 dreams are extracted by the computer. Then the scientist analyzes each dream. The great experience of the researcher with dream analysis and the language of the unconsciousness helps to understand the sense of these dreams as well as the personal knowledge of the explored dreamers. The broad fundament of this scientific work builds Dr. Flöttmann's qualification in medicine, in psychoanalysis, in depth psychology, psychiatry, neurology, psychosomatic medicine, gestalttherapie, graphology, philosophy, phrenology and physiognomy.
