ABSTRACT
Freud compares the day's residues with an entrepreneur in a dream who might have an idea and initiative to carry it through, but can do nothing without capital, and the unconscious wish-with the capitalist who provides the psychical outlay for the dream. In explaining why recent, and often most trivial, impressions are woven into dreams Freud refers to the psychology of neuroses from which we know that an unconscious idea such as such is incapable of entering the preconscious. The frequency of recent and indifferent elements in dreams is explained by the fact that they have least to fear from the censorship. The impression of the dream-day which instigated the dream may be an important one, in that case we rightly speak of the dream as carrying on with the significant interests of our waking life.
