“From the mid-twentieth century until today, physiological and neurocognitive research has yielded a number of well-corroborated findings about dreams and the dreaming state. Although the brain scientists and the analysts of dream reports operate on different sets of assumptions, they are almost unanimous in putting aside the Freudian model, which turns out to have been erroneous on every point.”
Frederick C. Crews, Freud: The Making of an Illusion

“In the judgment of contemporary dream investigators, only a minority of dreams appear to express wishes of any kind, let alone infantile sexual ones.”
Frederick C. Crews, Freud: The Making of an Illusion

“The immediate issue here is whether the Pooh animals realise they constitute a de facto nudist colony.”
Frederick C. Crews, Postmodern Pooh
