Abstract
A psychoanalytic view of dream interpretation is presented based on a previous study demonstrating that the manifest content of the dream reflects ongoing significant problems and dilemmas of the dreamer. It is argued that a specifically psychoanalytic dream interpretation is one in which the focus is on the transference and resistance manifestations produced by the treatment situation, rather than a never ending search for distorted infantile or childhood motivations.
