Dream, Reflection, Narcissism

According to Freud, a dream is a medium of wish-fulfillment, either literally or symbolically.  However, one problem for that hypothesis is the perhaps most uncanny of dream-experiences--that in which one is aware that one is dreaming, including the variation in which one dreams of waking up.  The problem is two-fold for Freud, since the content does not reduce to an example of wish-fulfillment, and the subject of the awareness requires, at minimum, a modification of his concept of the function of Ego beyond that of mediating between Id and Superego.  It also suggests an inadequacy in his diagnosis of Narcissism.  For, one traditional characterization of the awareness of what one is doing is Reflection, a term which is also commonly used to describe the object of Narcissus' perception in the water.  Accordingly, Narcissism could be diagnosed as a deficient mode of Reflection.
