In the early traditions of mankind wefind dreams treated seriously, as having a magical, religious,or prophetic bearing; theyretain this in civilizedfolklore, while among many savage races of today dreamingis regarded as highly significant. With the rise of modernscientific psychology dreaming speedily came underconsideration for more or less serious study and from1various viewpoints. In recent times this study has becomemore elaborate, and in psycho-analysis especially,as we know, the phenomena of dreaming are regarded ascarrying great weight.While the general prevalence of dreaming is accepted,there has not always, however, been complete agreementthat it is a normal and constant and therefore completelyhealthy and natural phenomenon, Freud even regarding1 Freud, who does not however claim a scholarly knowledge of theliterature, has under-rated the amount of psychological attention givento dreaming, and even speaks as though it had been a common beliefthat "dreaming is not a mental but a somatic phenomenon," a statementwhich is meaningless.[112]
