Defense mechanisms: repression: intolerable to the self, push out of awareness, denial, projection, sublimation, intellectualize, the conflicts between the various structural elements of the psyche. Dreams, symptoms & parapraxes (slips of the tongue) Symbolic representation: most basic process conversion of abstract ideas, wishes, or urges into concrete images things in their dreams are not as they seem, images symbolize something else the symbol is probably less distressing than what it represents. Secondary revision: the dream process is still a mess it"s all scattered.
