ABSTRACT

Freud noticed that in children it is possible to find the simplest forms of dreams. Children’s dreams are very brief, clear, coherent, and with an elementary structure. In 1909, during the third lecture held at Clark University, he affirmed, “If you inspect die dreams of very young children, from eighteen months upwards, you will find them perfectly simple and easy to explain” (Freud, 1910a, p. 34).
