V. THE MATERIAL AND SOURCES OF DREAMS (continued)
D. Typical Dreams -
Generally speaking, we are not in a position to interpret another person's
dream if he is unwilling to furnish us with the unconscious thoughts which lie
behind the dream-content, and for this reason the practical applicability of our
method of dream- interpretation is often seriously restricted. * But there are
dreams which exhibit a complete contrast to the individual's customary liberty
to endow his dream-world with a special individuality, thereby making it
inaccessible to an alien understanding: there are a number of dreams which
almost every one has dreamed in the same manner, and of which we are accustomed
to assume that they have the same significance in the case of every dreamer. A
peculiar interest attaches to these typical dreams, because, no matter who
dreams them, they presumably all derive from the same sources, so that they
would seem to be particularly fitted to provide us with information as to the
sources of dreams.
* The statement that our method of dream-interpretation is inapplicable when we
have not at our disposal the dreamer's association-material must be qualified.
In one case our work of interpretation is independent of these associations:
namely, when the dreamer make use of symbolic elements in his dream. We then
employ what is, strictly speaking, a second auxiliary method of
dream-interpretation. (See below).
With quite special expectations, therefore, we shall proceed to test our
technique of dream-interpretation on these typical dreams, and only with extreme
reluctance shall we admit that precisely in respect of this material our method
is not fully verified. In the interpretation of typical dreams we as a rule fail
to obtain those associations from the dreamer which in other cases have led us
to comprehension of the dream, or else these associations are confused and
inadequate, so that they do not help us to solve our problem.
Why this is the case, and how we can remedy this defect in our technique, are
points which will be discussed in a later chapter. The reader will then
understand why I can deal with only a few of the group of typical dreams in this
chapter, and why I have postponed the discussion of the others.
