Do You Agree That Freud’s Dream Theory Was Erroneous with Respect to (1) The Genesis of Dreaming (Release of Repressed Infantile Wishes) and (2) The Bizarreness of Dreams (Disguise and Censorship of Unacceptable Wishes)?

Abstract

Comments on the articles by J. Allan Hobson (see record [rid]2014-54589-002[/rid]), (see record [rid]2014-54589-003[/rid]) & (see record [rid]2014-54589-004[/rid]). It is clear from the present essay - notwithstanding the disclaimer at the outset - that Allan Hobson is still deeply preoccupied with disproving Freudian dream theory. What makes this preoccupation especially interesting is the fact that Hobson's models of dreaming have recently come to resemble Freud's. I would like to use this commentary to demonstrate how similar the two models now actually are. My aim in doing so is to clarify the last remaining point of difference. For the avoidance of doubt, I shall quote extensively from Hobson's essay. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
