Several examples of repetitive traumatic dreams reported by psychosomatic patients are discussed. The dreams involve injury to the body of the dreamer himself. The occurrence of dreams of this type indicates a failure in the functions of the ego concerned with the protection of the self. It may also indicate the presence in the memory systems of a latent traumatic event. Finally, it is suggested that the repetitive experience of consummated trauma contributes to the malfunctioning of the physiological systems, and therefore, to the production of illness.
本文讨论了心身疾病患者报告的几个重复性创伤性梦境的例子。这些梦境涉及梦者自身身体的受伤。这类梦境的出现表明自我保护功能中的自我功能存在故障。它也可能表明记忆系统中存在潜在的创伤性事件。最后，有人提出，已完成创伤的重复性体验会导致生理系统功能失调，进而导致疾病的产生。
