Excerpt from Psyche and Eros, Vol. 1: An International Bi-Monthly Journal of Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapeutics and Applied Psychology; Sept.-Oct., 1920
The very simple idea of considering dreams as the manifestation of psychic fatigue is an excellent one - one which seems self-evident once it has been pro pounded. But it appears to us that the author takes up an untenable position when he seeks to interpret this fatigue as a fatigue of afiectivity. The paradox is brilliantly carried off, but - it remains a paradox. Would it not be simpler to hold that that which is fatigued is efiort? The absence of effort, it would seem, quite satisfactorily explains the mental transformations presented by dreams. Voluntary attentiori is wanting in dreams, and as a consequence all rational activity (of which attention is the primary condition) is likewise wanting. It is the common experience that it is efiort that is subject to fatigue. Particularly is it not evident why affectivity should be more subject to fatigue than ideational activity. It may be that there is no respite for the affective life throughout the day; but it is certainly more evident that sensational life is just as constantly active, and it would be just as possible to hold that It is the sensory function which is subject to fatigue - that sleep seals our senses.
