Schriften z. Neurosenlehre, dritte Folge, 1913) weiter ausgeführt und als die beiden Prinzipien das Lust- und das Realitätsprinzip hingestellt.\n\n(237) Korrekter gesagt: Ein Anteil des Symptoms entspricht der unbewußten Wunscherfüllung, ein anderer der Reaktionsbildung gegen dieselbe.\n\n(238) Hughlings Jackson hatte geäußert: Findet das Wesen des Traums, und ihr werdet alles, was man über das Irresein wissen kann, gefunden haben. (Find out all about dreams and you will have found out all about insanity.)\n\n(239) Diesen Gedanken entlehne ich der Schlaftheorie von Liébault , des Erweckers der hypnotischen Forschung in unseren Tagen. (Du sommeil provoqué etc., Paris 1889.)\n\n(240) Über andere Beobachtungen von Lenkung der Träume sagt Ferenczi : »Der Traum bearbeitet den das Seelenleben gerade beschäftigenden Gedanken von allen Seiten her, läßt das eine Traumbild bei drohender Gefahr des Mißlingens der Wunscherfüllung fallen, versucht es mit einer neuen Art der Lösung, bis es ihm endlich gelingt, eine die beiden Instanzen des Seelenlebens kompromissuell befriedigende Wunscherfüllung zu schaffen.«\n\n(241) Ist dies die einzige Funktion, die wir dem Traume zugestehen können? Ich kenne keine andere. A. Maeder hat zwar den Versuch gemacht, andere, »sekundäre«, Funktionen für den Traum in Anspruch zu nehmen. Er ging von der richtigen Beobachtung aus, daß manche Träume Lösungsversuche von Konflikten enthalten, die späterhin wirklich durchgeführt werden, sich also wie Vorübungen zu Wachtätigkeiten verhalten. Er brachte darum das Träumen in Parallele zu dem Spielen der Tiere und der Kinder, welches als vorübende Betätigung mitgebrachter Instinkte und als Vorbereitung für späteres ernsthaftes Tun aufzufassen ist, und stellte eine »fonction ludique« des Träumens auf. Kurze Zeit vor Maeder war die »vorausdenkende« Funktion des Traumes auch von Alf. Adler betont worden. (In einer von mir 1905 veröffentlichten Analyse wurde ein als Vorsatz aufzufassender Traum jede Nacht bis zu seiner Ausführung wiederholt.)", "source_id": "project-gutenberg-40739", "translation_type": "original_language" }, { "language": "en", "text": "(235) Le Lorrain rightly praises dream wish-fulfilment: “Without serious fatigue, without having to resort to that stubborn and prolonged struggle which wears away and corrodes the pleasures pursued.”\n\n(236) I developed this argument elsewhere (“Formulations on the Two Principles of Mental Functioning,” Collection of Shorter Writings on the Theory of the Neuroses, third series, 1913), presenting the pleasure principle and reality principle as the two principles.\n\n(237) More correctly: one part of the symptom corresponds to unconscious wish-fulfilment, another to the reaction-formation against it.\n\n(238) Hughlings Jackson remarked: Discover the nature of dreams and you will have discovered everything knowable about insanity. (“Find out all about dreams and you will have found out all about insanity.”)\n\n(239) I borrow this thought from the sleep theory of Liébault, reviver of hypnotic research in our day. (Du sommeil provoqué, etc., Paris, 1889.)\n\n(240) On other observations of dream direction, Ferenczi says: “The dream works over from every side the thought currently occupying mental life; when wish-fulfilment threatens to fail, it drops one dream-image and tries a new solution, until it finally creates a wish-fulfilment that satisfies both agencies of mental life by compromise.”\n\n(241) Is this the only function we can grant dreams? I know no other. A. Maeder attempted to claim other, “secondary,” functions. He began from the correct observation that some dreams contain attempted solutions to conflicts that are later actually carried out and thus resemble preliminary exercises for waking activity. He therefore compared dreaming to animal and child play, understood as preliminary exercise of innate instincts and preparation for later serious action, and proposed a “fonction ludique” of dreaming. Shortly before Maeder, Alf. Adler had also stressed the dream’s “prospective” function.

Schriften z. Neurosenlehre, troisième série, 1913) et posé comme ces deux principes le principe de plaisir et le principe de réalité.\n\n(237) Plus exactement : une partie du symptôme correspond à l’accomplissement inconscient du souhait, une autre à la formation réactionnelle contre celui-ci.\n\n(238) Hughlings Jackson avait déclaré : découvrez la nature du rêve, et vous aurez découvert tout ce que l’on peut savoir de la folie. (Find out all about dreams and you will have found out all about insanity.)\n\n(239) J’emprunte cette pensée à la théorie du sommeil de Liébault, l’initiateur du renouveau de la recherche hypnotique à notre époque. (Du sommeil provoqué, etc., Paris, 1889.)\n\n(240) À propos d’autres observations relatives à la direction des rêves, Ferenczi dit : « Le rêve travaille sous toutes ses faces la pensée qui occupe précisément la vie psychique, abandonne une image onirique lorsque l’accomplissement du souhait menace d’échouer, tente une nouvelle sorte de solution, jusqu’à ce qu’il parvienne enfin à créer un accomplissement de souhait qui satisfasse par compromis les deux instances de la vie psychique. »\n\n(241) Est-ce là l’unique fonction que nous puissions reconnaître au rêve ? Je n’en connais aucune autre. A. Maeder a certes tenté de revendiquer pour le rêve d’autres fonctions, « secondaires ». Il est parti de l’observation exacte que certains rêves contiennent des tentatives de résolution de conflits qui sont ensuite réellement mises en œuvre, et se comportent donc comme des exercices préparatoires aux activités de veille. Il a ainsi établi un parallèle entre le rêve et le jeu des animaux et des enfants, lequel doit être compris comme exercice préparatoire des instincts innés et comme préparation à une activité sérieuse ultérieure, et a posé une « fonction ludique » du rêve. Peu avant Maeder, la fonction « anticipatrice » du rêve avait également été soulignée par Alf. Adler.
