Your uncle is an idiot. Analysing dreams isn't an approach, it's a minor part of therapy. Basically if a patient has a dream that was particularly vivid or seems signiicant to them then they can ask the therapist and it might be able to tell them somthing. Is your uncle actually a trained psychotherapist? It doesn't sound like it. Psychotherapists don't have a certain method they use, it's just psychotherapy which includes loads of different things.
