Schur's (1966, 1972) speculations that the "specimen dream" exculpates Fliess rather than Freud and that Freud was unaware of this are challenged. Schur's assertion that Freud was not aware of "current conflict" when writing The Interpretation of Dreams is countered with the previously unpublished "Completion of the Analysis" of the dream of "Running up the Stairs," which illustrates Freud's withholding of "current conflict" from his published associations. The view is advanced that Freud's and Fliess's treatment of Emma Eckstein might have been an important element in Freud's self-analysis because it was a repetition of his childhood conflicts. The identities of Emma Eckstein (operated on by Fliess) and Anna Hammerschlag Lichtheim, together with the previously unnoticed, published exchange between Abraham and Freud, are used to add further insight into Freud's interpretation of the dream. In addition, new material concerning Freud's father's terminal illness, beginning in July, 1985, casts further light on the specimen dream as well as others. It is argued that concerns about Martha Freud's sixth pregnancy and wishes for improved contraception were important determinants of the dream and part of the undisclosed associations. It is also argued that rivalrous elements of the associations are elaborated in the later non vixit dream.
舒尔（1966年、1972年）推测“样本梦”为弗利斯开脱而非弗洛伊德，且弗洛伊德并未意识到这一点，这种推测受到了挑战。舒尔断言弗洛伊德在撰写《梦的解析》时并未意识到“当下冲突”，这一观点被之前未发表的对“爬楼梯”之梦的“分析的完成”所反驳，该内容表明弗洛伊德在其已发表的联想中隐瞒了“当下冲突”。有一种观点认为，弗洛伊德和弗利斯对艾玛·埃克斯坦的治疗可能是弗洛伊德自我分析中的一个重要因素，因为这是他童年冲突的重复。艾玛·埃克斯坦（由弗利斯实施手术）和安娜·哈默施拉格·利希特海姆的身份，以及亚伯拉罕与弗洛伊德之间之前未被注意到的已发表交流，被用来进一步深入了解弗洛伊德对梦的解读。此外，关于弗洛伊德父亲自1985年7月起身患绝症的新材料，也进一步揭示了样本梦以及其他梦境。有人认为，对玛莎·弗洛伊德第六次怀孕的担忧以及改善避孕措施的愿望是该梦境的重要决定因素，也是未公开联想的一部分。还有人认为，联想中的竞争元素在后来的“未活过”之梦中得到了阐述。
