Lebovici is concerned with the systematic study of children's dreams, an area which he feels has been little studied as yet. The psychoanalysis of children permits insight into the transformation of the dream work. The disguised representation of the dream wish is of much less importance in children's dreams than it is in the dream work of the adult. In children the psychic excitation draws on memories of unsatisfied wishes, but these are not, as in the adult, repressed memories. Even in latency, when there is a greater degree of psychological development, there is still relatively little disguise of the dream in its manifest content.

For example, we may find that the dream may be a sort of actual neurosis which is disorganizing and traumatic in itself and may sometimes be the source of post-traumatic organization. This is frequently the case with repetitive dreams in childhood, as in the case of the Wolf Man. Continuing research on trauma and the function of anxiety would lead us, then, to attach great importance to a study of the dreams of childhood. While Piaget has studied the developing attitudes of the child toward the recitation of dreams, emphasizing the evolutive, genetic, and operational aspects of the dream, psychoanalytic studies of children's dreams are much more difficult to carry out. There are difficulties in dissociating fantasy and dream productions in the child. Drawing and games seldom lead the child to talk of dreams. Lebovici finds that in his experience there are rarely important human figures in the dream text. A technique which usually reveals the persons involved is to ask the child to draw the menacing figures in the dream. Little Hans's addition of his father's moustache to his drawing of the menacing horse aided in understanding his conflicts. Although the dream wish is little disguised in the child, the displacements of affect wh
