Wie in der klassischen Traumarbeit setzen sich so Tagesreste und verdrängte Wünsche/Ängste zu neuen Fantasiegebilden zusammen.

day residue


Explanation:
In Freud's Interpretation of Dreams (Traumdeutung), he referred to one element in the mind's construction of a dream that had to do with the memories of the previous day----these are the "day residue."
