clue 10 the wish element expressed
In the dream.
On the other hand. to interpret
and find the wish element in adult
dreams is often a laborious and pain
stalking process.
Besides. adult dreams are often SO
jumbled. involved. and sketchy. that
only an expert In analysis a de-
cipher them.
AS in the ease with children. the
dreams OF adults can often be traced
to some recent happening during
waking life that seems TO have
started the dream off.
A person walking along the street
hears the whir OF an engine. and
looking up sees an aerOplane above
the ~hOuse-tops.
That night this person dreams
that an aerOplane Of peculiar design
long. torturous like n snake. and
made up OF many segments -
squeezed itself through the bedroom
window. perched Itself on the foot
board Of the bed. and talked In
Esperanto.
Had q child seen this aeroplane II
would very likely have dreamed OF
seeing II again. more or less as IL
actually appeared.
The adult. however. dreams about
the aeroplane in a peculiar. distorted
manner.
In other words adults dream IN
symbols.
Adults never dream exactly as
they have experienced or want "a
experience.
Children nearly always do.
IL Is interesting as well as illu.
minating q have children tell you
what they dream.
often. by this method. you car
discover what Is troubling their little
minds. what their Disappointment
are. what thew really want and are
striving for.
And children like to tell their
dreams. too. II them Their
own dream-life Is like the fairy
stories they love TO hear.

dreams You viii gain a remarkable
