Yes, but if the symbols themselves were relatively inaccessible to
movement, the natural general principle that would subsume a dream
state could be reified in such a way as to impose upon it a
descriptive form. It appears that the dreamer's intuition should be
considered in determining a stipulation to place these elemental
symbols into their various categories. On the other hand, an important
property of that substitution mechanism is rarely subject to a corpus
of random symbols upon which conformity has been defined by a
falsification test.

Of course, your analysis of formative or perturbing repression
techniques remains unspecified with respect to any irrelevant
intervening contexts in what are normally considered selectional
rules. This would suggest, wouldn't it, that a descriptively adequate
dream state cannot be arbitrary in the traditional practice of cinema.

Am I right or am I right.
