Commentary on "Freudian dream theory, dream bizarreness, and the disguise-censor controversy"

I applaud Boag for his attempt to redirect the dream debate to its unresolved conceptual issues. In the fifty years or so since Wittgenstein attributed the "confusion and barrenness" of psychology to its containing "experimental methods and conceptual confusion" (1953, p. 234), little has changed. Lip service is paid, yet conceptual analysis is regarded with suspicion and contempt, a useless and obstructive relic of psychology's philosophical roots. The result is that confusions persist - and the dream debate, clearly, has its fair share.
