What I am skeptical of is that a pretentious analyst can pour over your dreams (at great financial cost) like they're some sort of psychological heiroglyphics and derive some kind of objective or therapeutically useful information that was not fairly obvious to the dreamer in the first place (as opposed to some deep, occult meaning).

That is exactly what I would have liked to say. You say it so much better.
Echidna,
In the long post I deleted, I found myself quoting from several websites and unable to provide links. I needed some REM sleep.
