I wasn\'t happy about \"nonsense\" and Simon is quite right to query it. On the other hand, \"mishmash\" doesn\'t work either! The best I can think of is \"confused dream\".

“Nonsense” is not always appropriate, because this word has also negative, even offensive, connotation. It would be appropriate if a dream was not a neutral mix of casual day’s impressions, but something bad with hidden dissatisfaction for Freudian analysis
