And he has certainly vindicated in practice that dictum of Emerson: "A skilful man reads dreams for his self-knowledge." But he has formulated no open-sesame, as psycho-analysts proclaim. When it comes to the use of symbols, the Viennese professor parts company with the Concord philosopher. The latter, as we know, decried the mystical conception of fixed symbolism in any domain.
I have no wish to combat psychological theories of dreams, such as those of the psycho-analysts. For instance, a door banging may produce a dream of a naval engagement, with images of battleships and sea and smoke. But his sense-data are still physical, and are such as a completed physics would include and calculate.
But in applying such inferences to a supposititious language of dreams, psycho-analysts are begging the question, as well as running into other kinds of fallacy as to the powers of the Unconscious. The meanings and significations of dream-items are not so simply made out as in language.
