ABSTRACT
Ufos's dream is particularly interesting to the psychologist; because the dreams tell us in what sense they are understood by the unconscious. In order to form anything like a complete picture of an object reflected in the psyche, far more than an exclusively intellectual operation is required. The three other functions of feeling, sensation and intuition, one need the reaction of the unconscious, which gives a picture of the unconscious associative context. The dream describes, as the exposition of the initial situation, a mass panic at an air-raid warning. A report on the case of Captain Mantell, now become a classic, speaks of the Ufo's resemblance to a 'tear drop' and says it behaved like a fluid Cf. Wilkins, Flying Saucers on the Attack. Presumably it is meant to express the commonly reported changeability of the Ufo's shape.
