A review of Freud's discussion of dream psychology points up his modification of the wish-fulfilling function of the dream. His modification introduced the concept that the original function of the dream was the mastery of traumatic stimuli.
A question is raised and discussed as to the relationship of preconscious and unconscious elements of the dream. Usually we relate manifest content to preconscious source and current life, and latent content to unconscious source and infantile life. Brief clinical examples question these relationships.
