Also, as a bonus, here's a quote from creepy uncle Lacan's "On conducting treatment" (IIRC is what it was called in English, lulz. It's from "Ecrits") I used to troll said foxy psychotherapist a bit, to open her eyes a tad. 
"A dream, after all, is but a dream. Those who now disdain it as a tool in analysis have found, as we have seen, surer and more direct roads by which to bring the patient back to sound principles and normal desires, those that satisfy true needs. Which needs? Why, everyone's needs, my friend! If that is what frightens you, have faith in your psychoanalyst and climb the Eiffel Tower to see how beautiful Paris is. Too bad some people jump over the railing on the first deck, precisely those whose needs have all been restored to their proper proportions. A negative therapeutic reaction, I would call it".
