Yes - I think that's a good description of what Jung, Freud and other Austrian, Swiss, and German intellectials were studying in the mid-to-late 19th century. Many of these scholars were at least partially Hegelian in their approaches, and were thus believing that one's understanding of the unconscious could be informative of potential predictions, or natural reactions of the mind to balance itself. For them it waas a science of the mind, so to speak.

Right. But that would be more relevant to personal meanings, not prophetic visions. But even the personal meanings are hard to tell, because dreams are so random.
