As sexual activity increases in adolescence, many boys have more open sexual dreams with concomitant frequency of nocturnal emission, orgastic sensations, and anxiety with fairly obvious sexual content. Instability of the ego, mobility of cathexis, shifting identifications, and regressive tendencies may find representation in a range from frankly incestuous dreams to highly elaborated and disguised productions. The necessity to resolve the problem of bisexuality and the rekindling of the Oedipal conflict provoke great anxiety and defense. The increased maturity of the ego leads to more extensive defenses and secondary elaboration than are found in the dreams of the Oedipal period. Adolescent dreams are also more accessible to interpretation than are the dreams of the latency period, and although adolescents do not associate as freely as adults, considerable material can be elicited, particularly regarding the day residue. Dream material obtained during the analysis of a fourteen-and-a-half-year-old boy illustrates the use of dreams in facilitating the discussion of problems involving masturbation and related matters.
