This study explores dream function, particularly in children, proposing nightmares signify a failure in processing significant experiences. It links dream and nightmare theories to memory and psychic development stages.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Child Development

Background:

  • The function of dreaming, especially in children, remains a complex area of study.
  • Existing theories on dreams often focus on their relationship with memory and cognitive processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on dream function and child dreaming.
  • To present a new hypothesis on the role of nightmares, emphasizing their connection to memory and psychic processes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on dream function and child dreaming.
  • Analysis of S. R. Palombo's theory on dream-memory relationships.
  • Integration of data from studies on childhood nightmares, pregnant women's dreams, autistic children's nightmares, and analyst countertransference.

Main Results:

  • Nightmares are hypothesized as a failure in the "primarization" of significant experiences.
  • This hypothesis connects dreams and nightmares to the established distinction between originary, primary, and secondary psychic processes.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed metapsychological hypothesis offers a novel perspective on nightmares.
  • Further clinical studies are needed to validate and develop this theory regarding dream function and psychic development.
