The author describes a type of dream occurring in the beginning of psychoanalysis in which the patient refutes the condemnation of the superego mobilized by the interpretation of unconscious infantile desires. The author quotes several of such dreams which have the tendency to discourage the analyst, as if he were on the wrong track with his interpretations which undermine the patient's defenses. In predicting this mechanism of defense to the patient, the analyst enables the patient to check the veracity of the analytic method in the initial phase of analysis. In this phase the patient is not yet tied by transference nor has he any evidence for the correctness of psychoanalytic interpretations. Finding the analysts prediction verified may prevent the patient breaking off analysis during the initial impact of resistance.
