Dream, Wish-Fulfillment, Virtual Reality Principle

Granting Freud that a dream is an expression of a wish, that it is also fulfilling seems to obtain exclusively in a specific case--in an erotic dream that terminates in emission.  In other words, his concept of a dream as wish-fulfillment conflates 'oneiric' and 'onanistic'.  It also clarifies what constitutes the satisfaction of the Reality Principle--an internally consistent set of images, e. g. there is no essential distinction between an erotic dream and actual coitus, according to this concept of Fulfillment.  Accordingly, a more accurate term might be the Virtual Reality Principle.
