Read the following text and answer the questions from 31 to 36:
Investigators have noticed some similarities between the fantastic events in fairy tales and those in adult dreams- the fulfillment of wishes, winning over all competitors and the destruction of enemies. There are, of course, very significant differences also. For example, in dreams more often than not the wish fulfillment is disguised, while in fairy tales much of it is openly expressed. To a considerable degree, dreams are the result of inner pressures which have found no relief, and of problems which beset a person to which he knows no solution and to which the dream finds none. The fairy tale does the opposite; it projects the relief of all pressures and not only offers ways to solve problems, but promises a happy solution. We cannot control what goes on in our dreams. Although our inner censorship influences what we may dream, such control occurs at an unconscious level. The fairy tale, on the other hand, is the result of conscious and unconscious content having been shaped by the conscious mind, not of one particular person but of many in regard to what they view as universal human problems. Only if a fairy tale met the conscious and unconscious needs of many people, would it be told and retold with great interest.
