CHAPTER Ⅰ THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE OF
DREAM-PROBLEMS (UP TO 1900)In the following pages,I shall demonstrate that there is a
psychological technique which makes it possible to interpret dreams,and that on the application of
this technique every dream will reveal itself as a psychological structure,full of significance,and
one which may be assigned to a specific place in the psychic activities of the waking state.
Further,I shall endeavour to elucidate the processes which underlie the strangeness and obscurity
of dreams,and to deduce from these processes the nature of the psychic forces whose conflict or
cooperation is responsible for our dreams.This done,my investigation will terminate,as it will have
reached the point where the problem of the dream merges into more comprehensive problems,and
to solve these we must have recourse to material of a different kind.
第一章　夢問題的科學文獻
（截至1900年）我在下文中將論證一種有可能解夢的心理技巧。運用這種技巧，每個
夢都會自動呈現(xiàn)出一種充滿意義的精神結構，并可能和清醒狀態(tài)心理活動的某一特定部分
有關。我還會進一步盡力闡明夢撲朔迷離產生的那些過程，并從這些過程推斷出這些精神
力量的特性。我們的夢就是這些力量之間的沖突或協(xié)作產生的。之后，我的調查報告即告
結束，因為夢的問題會變成更加綜合的問題，而要解決這些問題，我們必須求助于各種不
同的材料。
