"No educated person would attempt to deny the value of the discoveries of Freud and his school. ...[T]he theory is that dreams are the revenge taken by instincts which have been stifled by the social environment. ...a kind of consolation prizes. ...[T]he compensation which Nature awards to... repressed ambitions and desires. I cannot accept this view as... complete... Many dreams are a repetition of experience with which the dreamer has been satisfied in his waking life. They are a kind of Da Capo, a cry of Encore! The new school of oneirology appear to interpret all dreams in terms of hunger. No doubt repressed desires and thwarted ambitions do raise angry and uneasy heads... Often, however, fair scenes of the past come before us in sleep as tranquilly as they usher themselves into our memory. Many dreams are like the revivals of old plays."
