These dreams appear far more frequently in analytic patients and still more so in analytic patients who have completed analysis. Statistically the dreams have no prognostic value, whether occurring early or late in analysis. No correlation was found between the frequency of their occurrence and an especially intense transference or countertransference. They appear to be linked in symbolic
meaning to the breast-face equation and therefore indicate early conflicts in the oral stage. They are of special significance and should signal the analyst to search within himself as well as within his patient.
