A seagull wants only to fly and not to spend his whole life looking for food like the other seagulls. He is banished from the flock for thinking the way he does. He pushes his physical limits and soars over the ocean. After he dies, he goes to a heaven-like place where there are other birds that also want to fly. A wise old bird becomes his mentor. The wise seagull tells him that he must seek perfection in flight. He learns to transport himself to a location just by thinking about it. He realizes that he must forgive his flock for kicking him out and goes back to share the knowledge he has gained. Once one of has students has also become a teacher, he leaves to truly pursue perfection.

What would Freud say this meant if it were someone's dream? You may recognnize the story... it's "Jonathan Livingston Seagull." Please answer only if you know what you're talking about!!!

Freud would say that the seagull's quest for pure happiness and perfection has alienated him from having a regular life. In order to be truly happy on an ethereal level, you must give up the normal life you are accustomed to.

I don't think even Freud could interpret this as a dream (as it isn't a dream).

Maybe if the seagull were flying with a banana in its beak....
