three classes of dreams in
1901 -- wish fulfillments, anxiety dreams, and dreams in which the content
is disturbing the feeling is not. ¡Kall 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.
