ed in the work before us. The drift of
the authors argument is far from clear,

Stripped of all illustrativematerial,
thetheorymaybestated
as follows:
Our authorsmaininterest
1s centred
upon the thesis that every dream is t h e
fulElment of an unconscious wish. H e
conceives of this wish as an active entity which strives to rise into full
consciousnessandto
effect its realization,
this being thwarted by the action of another entity which he designates as the
censor.
The
psychic

dream formation resolves itself into two

his view would n o t occur unless it had
a special function, which is thus described: The dream has taken it upon itself
to bring the liberated excitement of t h e
unconscious back under the domination
of the fore conscious; it thus affords relief f o r theexcitement
of theunconscious, and acts as a safety valve for the
