I'd say that you would probably not have interpreted the paintings in the same way as if you'd had the dreams. Dreams are deeply personal things, created by you for only you to be able to view. The emotion attached to them makes them feel much more targeted than other mediums.
You may be able to see what an artist intended to convey by a painting, but you'll most likely never be able to experience his or her creative process. That is a personal experience that happened once to them. Just like your dream.
I believe that Freud meant that art comes from our own subconscious desires. That creating the art is what expresses them, not viewing it.
Do you believe that expression of a dream in an art form is (by Freud's theory) closer to revealing your true desires than by making art by conscious deliberation?
