The dreams that occur on Sunday night and are brought to the analyst on Monday are postulated as being produced by specific unconscious fantasies in reference to the interruption over the week end. The fact that the patient dreams under these circumstances will have as one of its functions the compensation for the feeling of abandonment by the analyst. This is compensated and an attempt is made at re-establishment by the latent or manifest contents of such dreams. According to the authors they are definitely related to transference material. In some cases the week ends have had different meanings, such as abandonment, death, or the primal scene.
