After reviewing the literature concerned with the function of dreaming and especially dreaming in the child, the author presents various theories about the role of dream, with special emphasis on S. R. Palombo's theory on the relationships between dream and memory. The proposed hypothesis, which is based on various elements (as study of nightmares in children, oniric life of pregnant or post-partum women, occurrence of nightmares in autistic children and counter-transferential drowsiness in the analyst) takes nightmares as a more or less complete failure of the primarization processes of primary significants. The issue of dreams and nightmares is being related here with the now classical distinction of psychic processes in originary, primary and secondary ones. To be sure, this is but a mere metapsychological hypothesis which needs to be developed by further clinical studies.
在回顾了有关梦的功能尤其是儿童做梦的文献后，作者提出了关于梦的作用的各种理论，特别强调了S. R. 帕隆博关于梦与记忆关系的理论。所提出的假设基于各种因素（如对儿童噩梦的研究、孕妇或产后妇女的梦境生活、自闭症儿童的噩梦发生情况以及分析师的反移情性嗜睡），将噩梦视为主要意义的原初化过程或多或少的完全失败。梦和噩梦的问题在这里与心理过程在原发、原初和继发过程中的经典区分相关联。诚然，这仅仅是一个元心理学假设，需要通过进一步的临床研究来完善。
