Professor Domhoff, who did not consider the expectation fulfilment theory of dreaming in his review, wrote: [15] If the methodologically most sound descriptive empirical findings were to be used as a starting point for future dream theorising, the picture would look like this: Dreaming is a cognitive achievement that develops throughout childhood;
A dreaming brain: According to the expectation fulfilment theory of dreaming, this preserves the integrity of our genetic inheritance every night by metaphorically defusing emotionally arousing expectations not acted out during the previous day.
Wish fulfillment (Wunscherfüllung) was coined by Sigmund Freud in The Interpretations of Dreams. The first of the dreams, a dream of Freud's reported and analysed in The Interpretation of Dreams, the dream known as "Irma's injection", [2] is a dream that can be said to be inaugural and founding.
