Moreover we shall not maintain that the wish - fulfillment dreams of the infantile kind occur in adults only as reactions to the known imperative desires . We also know of short clear dreams of this sort under the influence of dominating situations that arise from unquestionably psychic sources . As , for example , in dreams of impatience , whenever a person has made preparations for a journey , for a theatrical performance , for a lecture or for a visit , and now dreams of the anticipated fulfillment of his expectations , and so arrives at his goal the night before the actual experience , in the theatre or in conversation with his host . Or the well - named dreams of comfort , when a person who likes to prolong his sleep , dreams that he is already up , is washing himself , or is already in school , while as a matter of fact he continues sleeping , hence would rather get up in a dream than in reality . The desire for sleep which we have recognized as a regular part of the dream structure becomes intense in these dreams and appears in them as the actual shaping force of the dream . The wish for sleep properly takes its place beside other great physical desires . At this point I refer you to a picture by Schwind , from the Schack Gallery in Munich , so that you may see how rightly the artist has conceived the origin of a dream from a dominating situation . It is the Dream of a Prisoner , [ 29 ] which can have no other subject than his release . It is a very neat stroke that the release should be effected through the window , for the ray of light that awakens the prisoner comes through the same window . The gnomes standing one above the other probably represent the successive positions which he himself had to take in climbing to the height of the window , and I do not think I am mistaken or that I attribute too much preconcerted design to the artist , by noting that the uppermost of the gnomes , who is filing the grating ( and so does what the prisoner would like to do ) has the features of the prisoner . In all other dreams except those of children and those of the infantile type , distortion , as we have said , blocks our way . At the outset we cannot ascertain whether they are also wish fulfillments , as we suspect ; from their manifest content we cannot determine from what psychic stimulus they derive their origin , and we cannot prove that they also are occupied in doing away with the stimulus and in satisfying it . They must probably be interpreted , that is , translated ; their distortion must be annulled ; their manifest content replaced by their latent thought before we can judge whether what we have found in children's dreams may claim a universal application for all dreams . NINTH LECTURE THE DREAM The Dream Censor WE have learned to know the origin , nature and function of the dream from the study of children's dreams . Dreams are the removal of sleep - disturbing psychic stimuli by way of hallucinated satisfaction . Of adults ' dreams , to be sure , we could explain only one group , what we characterized as dreams of an infantile type . As to the others we know nothing as yet , nor do we understand them . For the present , however , we have obtained a result whose significance we do not wish to under - estimate . Every time a dream is completely comprehensible to us , it proves to be an hallucinated wish - fulfillment . This coincidence cannot be accidental , nor is it an unimportant matter .
