I shall begin by giving a short account of the views of earlier writers
on this subject, and of the status of the dream-problem in contemporary
science; since in the course of this treatise I shall not often have
occasion to refer to either. In spite of thousands of years of
endeavour, little progress has been made in the scientific understanding
of dreams. This fact has been so universally acknowledged by previous
writers on the subject that it seems hardly necessary to quote
individual opinions. The reader will find, in the works listed at the
end of this work, many stimulating observations, and plenty of
interesting material relating to our subject, but little or nothing that
concerns the true nature of the dream, or that solves definitely any of
its enigmas. The educated layman, of course, knows even less of the matter.
