| - | [[Freud]] listed the distorting operations that he claimed were applied to repressed wishes in forming the dream as recollected: it is because of these distortions (the so-called 'dream-work') that the manifest content of the dream differs so greatly from the latent dream thought reached through analysis -- and it is by ''reversing'' these distortions that the latent content is approached. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | The operations included: | + | |
| - | * ''[[Condensation]]'' — one dream object stands for several associations and ideas; thus "dreams are brief, meagre and laconic in comparison with the range and wealth of the dream-thoughts". | + | |
| - | * ''[[Displacement]]'' — a dream object's emotional significance is separated from its real object or content and attached to an entirely different one that does not raise the censor's suspicions. | + | |
| - | * ''[[Representation]]'' — a thought is translated to visual images. | + | |
| - | * ''[[Symbolism]]'' — a symbol replaces an action, person, or idea. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | To these might be added 'secondary elaboration' -- the outcome of the dreamer's natural tendency to make some sort of 'sense' or 'story' out of the various elements of the manifest content as recollected. (Freud, in fact, was wont to stress that it was not merely futile but actually ''misleading'' to attempt to 'explain' one part of the manifest content with reference to another part as if the manifest dream somehow constituted some unified or coherent conception). | + | |
