THE DREAMS IN NEUROSES OF CHILDREN AND AD OLESCENTS

46 children and adolescents with different forms of neuroses at the ag e of 10-18 years were observed. It is shown that the dreams in neuroti c individuals are characterised by both cognitive and affective activa tion as well as by widening of the limits of time and space, by freque nt uncompletion and by some imperative tendencies (the ''channellzatio n'' of colour perception, repeated dreams' rise). There was a dependen ce of dream's character upon the neurosis form. The data obtained are important for adequate diagnosis and therapy of borderline conditions.
