Psychoanalytic Quarterly, 1946, Vol. XV, No. 2.
The author gives clinical examples to show that on occasions acting out may precede the narration of a dream though the material presented in the acting out clearly belongs to the latent dream content. This acting out usually occurs at the beginning of the hour and can usually be understood as soon as one knows the manifest dream content. Both—acting out and the following dream—belong to a Gestalt, and if brought into contact facilitate the understanding of the unconscious material.
