Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marty is using the Gestalt dream analysis technique developed by Fritz Perls. This technique involves speaking in the present tense to different elements of the dream and imagining what they would say in response. Marty is speaking to the man and the door as if they were separate entities with their own voices and perspectives, which is a key aspect of Gestalt dream analysis.
