CHAPTER ONE
The Scientific Literature of
Dream-Problems (up to 1900)
In the following pages, I shall demonstrate that there is a
psychological technique which makes it possible to interpret dreams, and
that on the application of this technique, every dream will reveal
itself as a psychological structure, full of significance, and one which
may be assigned to a specific place in the psychic activities of the
waking state.
Further, I shall endeavour to elucidate
the processes which underlie the strangeness and obscurity
of dreams, and to deduce from these processes the nature of the psychic
forces whose
conflict or co-operation is responsible for our dreams.
This done, my investigation will
terminate, as it will have reached the point where the problem of the
dream merges into more comprehensive problems, and to solve these, we
must have recourse to material of a different kind.
