Nothing inherently. I see merit in Jung's approach (though I have reservations too).

It's Freud's particular method with which I take issue. Any penis-shaped object in a dream represents a phallus. You have a dream about a pen? Freud says you're dreaming about a penis, but your internal censor has made it into a pen... to prevent you from waking up. Freud's approach to the symbolism in dreams is what I think is absurd.
