Simpsons and Freudian Dream Theory

Distortion

The stricter the domination of the censor, the more extensive becomes the disguise, and often the more humorous the means employed to put the reader back on the track of the real meaning. -The Interpretation of Dreams, p.121

     Distortion is another mechanism of the Dreamwork, and Freud uses it to refer to a variety of ways in which one's unacceptable, unconscious desires can be repressed.  Any kind of obscuring of the repressed thing is a form of distortion, and the more unacceptable the desire, the more distortion will be present.  Some examples of distortion are secondary revision, displacement, and condensation.
