In the first place , it is remarkable that in the latent thought the main emphasis falls on the element of haste ; in the manifest dream there is absolutely no mention of this to be found . Without the analysis we should not have had any idea that this element was of any importance at all . So it seems possible that just the main thing , the central point of the unconscious thoughts , may be absent in the manifest dream . Because of this , the original impression in the dream must of necessity be entirely changed . Secondly : In the dream there is a senseless combination , 3 for 1 Fl . 50 Kr . ; in the dream thought we divine the sentence , " It was senseless ( to marry so early ) . " Can one deny that this thought , " It was senseless , " was represented in the manifest dream by the introduction of an absurd element ? Thirdly : Comparison will show that the relation between the manifest and latent elements is not simple , certainly not of such a sort that a manifest element is always substituted for the latent . There must rather be a quantitative relationship between the two groups , according to which a manifest element may represent several latent ones , or a latent element represented by several manifest elements . Much that is surprising might also be said of the sense of the dream and the dreamer's reaction to it . She acknowledges the interpretation but wonders at it . She did not know that she disparaged her husband so , and she did not know why she should disparage him to such a degree . There is still much that is incomprehensible . I really believe that we are not yet fully equipped for dream interpretation , and that we must first receive further instruction and preparation . EIGHTH LECTURE THE DREAM Dreams of Childhood WE think we have advanced too rapidly . Let us go back a little . Before our last attempt to overcome the difficulties of dream distortion through our technique , we had decided that it would be best to avoid them by limiting ourselves only to those dreams in which distortion is either entirely absent or of trifling importance , if there are such . But here again we digress from the history of the evolution of our knowledge , for as a matter of fact we become aware of dreams entirely free of distortion only after the consistent application of our method of interpretation and after complete analysis of the distorted dream . The dreams we are looking for are found in children . They are short , clear , coherent , easy to understand , unambiguous , and yet unquestionable dreams . But do not think that all children's dreams are like this . Dream distortion makes its appearance very early in childhood , and dreams of children from five to eight years of age have been recorded that showed all the characteristics of later dreams . But if you will limit yourselves to the age beginning with conscious psychic activity , up to the fourth or fifth year , you will discover a series of dreams that are of a so - called infantile character . In a later period of childhood you will be able to find some dreams of this nature occasionally . Even among adults , dreams that closely resemble the typically infantile ones occur under certain conditions .
