Freud on Dreams- Kristina

The more Freud goes on about displacement the less I understand the concept. I'm particularly lost on page 104 where he mentions the process of regression in relation to displacement. I did the bad thing and looked up some summaries on the internet, all of which make more sense than the original reading..  Most of the other arguments in the reading make sense, though some of the latent content connections in his specimen dream seem far-fetched, making it almost an exploitation of how easily objects can be linked to ideas and manipulating the process to apply to his theory. There is a line from Waking Life which contradicts Freud's argument that "no dream is prompted by motives other than egoistic ones", with the argument that "a single ego is an absurdly narrow vantage from which to view this experience. And where most consider their individual relationship to the universe, I contemplate relationships of my various selves to one another."
