For the most part a broad tissue of dream thoughts is condensed into a dream. The shaping of the dream out of the dream thoughts is called by Freud the dream work. Four principles direct it, Condensation, Displacement, Representability, and Secondary Elaboration. Condensation was just now mentioned.
The tendency to vividly perceptual or plastic expression that is characteristic of the dream, corresponds accordingly to the Representability. To the Secondary Elaboration we have to credit the last polishing of the dream fabric. The result of its effort is that the dream loses its appearance of absurdity and disconnectedness and approaches the standard of a comprehensible experience.
The difference is one of volume and permanence in the rival satisfactions, and the attitude conscience will assume toward these depends more on the representability of the demands compared than on their original vehemence or ultimate results. A passionate conscience may thus arise in the play of impulses differing in permanence, without involving a judicial exercise of reason.
These productions, the dream, will have first of all to avoid the censor, and for this purpose the dream work resorts to displacement of psychic intensities even to the point of changing all psychic values; thoughts must be exclusively or predominantly given in the material of visual and auditory memory images, and from this grows that demand for representability which it answers with new displacements.
