The dream of being interrupted during the act of defecation by the intrusion of some person or persons, or by some event, represents the primal scene experience and wish fulfilment. Intercourse is regressively depicted as defecation in which the original outsider is now observed by others. Both male and female roles are enacted. The mood, anxiety, and embarrassment express a latent vengeful wish toward the disappointing parent: 'I wish you'd feel what I felt when I saw what was going on'.
