"Dream" by Henri
Rouseau and its Intertexts
Psychoanalysis & Art p. 118
three classes of dreams in 1901 -- wish
fulfillments, anxiety dreams, and dreams in which the content is
disturbing the feeling is not. …all three types, according to Freud,
are motivated by a wish.
1st?--the
disguise is successful and the dream proceeds undisturbed,
2nd --the disguise
is absent or insufficient; the forbidden wish emerges, causes anxiety,
and the dreamer wakes up
3rd --the wish is
particularly well disguised by a misalliance of content and feeling
1920 -- Beyond
Pleasure Principle Freud could not sustain the view that all
dreams have a wish-fulfilling motive. He amended his theory to include
the newly discovered "repetition compulsion," which
he related to the death instinct. [boldface added]
According to Freud, a dream is triggered when a
thought or impression of the previous 24 hours connects with an
impression from the past. The memory and report of the dream are its
"manifest content," and the underlying dream-thoughts, accessible by
interpretive means, are the latent content. The latent content is the
result of what F called "primary process," or unconscious thinking.
