ABSTRACT
The external ringing of bells or pain of a furuncle enters the Preconscious via the system Perception-Conscious and thus lends them to transferences from the Unconscious. Freud's equating sensory impressions during sleep with day residues was based on their similarity of location in the structures of the mind and their potential functions as day residues. Freud would say that the day residue "must lend itself to" transference from the unconscious wish. Dream thoughts can be formed during the day and be well developed before the dream is actually dreamed that night. The dream work proper begins when the day residue makes a connection with an unconscious wish. The psychological structure formed in that way is quite similar to the structure of the psychoneurotic symptom. Up to a certain point in dream and symptom formation, "manifest regression" can take place without being pathological. Similarly, day residues can be carried over into preconscious thoughts and memories without yet leading to a dream.
