Unconscious
Freud talks about our dream which is something that happens in an unconscious state. We have no control of our thoughts or action in this state. Thus, it is easier for a study to be done on the subject dream and generalizations to be made.
Desire
Freud claims that the death of a close person shows an oculted desire of the dreamer (which even he or she may not have thought of having) to have that person dead in real life. In general, dream is closely related to the dreamer's desire. From my experience, I'd say it is true that a dream represents a unnoticeable desire. I mean, I can dream of something that I sort of wanted rather than to dream of something that I really wanted.
Death
Experiencig death in a dream is considered to be a childhood experience. Jealosy and competition of children can cause them to want those they are competing with to be gone. However death is not a painful process to them. It just means a "going away forever and never coming back". Perhaps that's the reason why they can dream of one of his or her family dead and not feel so bad.
Justification
People do not want to admit they have ever wanted their mother, father or their siblings to be dead. They want to justify their dream to be of something different. The tendency of wanting to remain innocent leads to justifying their wrong thoughts or behaviors. Justification is really what spoils the child.
Interpretation
What Freud talks about is his interpretation of dreams according to his studies and analysis. Although in some parts i did not completely agree with his interpretation, it is very trustworthy for it is based on scientific research.
