Displacement - Ed

I found Freud's interpretations of dreams interesting and thought that his assertions on how they were formed seemed fairly water tight. For the majoirty of the piece I found myself not only understanding what he was writing but also agreeing with it. However, the last segment, The Work of Displacement, threw me a little. I struggled to understand his conclusions and did not really grasp any of the concepts in this section other than one alluded to earlier in the piece about how repeated themes in dream-thought became the central point in dream-content.
