  Dreams are highly valued in both Freudian psychoanalysis and less
conservative clinical traditions. Text mining enables the extraction of meaning
from writings in powerful and unexpected ways. In this work, we report methods,
uses and results obtained by mining descriptions of dreams. The texts were
collected as part of a course in Schizoanalysis (Clinical Psychology) from
dozens of participants. They were subsequently mined using various techniques
for the achievement of poems and summaries, which were then used in clinical
sessions by means of music and declamation. The results were found
aesthetically appealing and effective to engage the audience. The expansion of
the corpus, mining methods and strategies for using the derivatives for art and
therapy are considered for future work.
