“[T]he popular view holds firmly to the belief that dreams really have got a meaning... that can be unraveled in some way... from its oft bizarre and enigmatic content.... This is done either scene by scene, according to some rigid key, or the dream as a whole is replaced by something else of which it were a symbol.... One day I discovered to my amazement that the popular view grounded in superstition, and not the medical one, comes nearer to the truth about dreams.” -- Freud, On Dreams (p.2-3) -- Freud, On Dreams (p.2-3) (author’s italics) (author’s italics)
