"in fact, until Freud dreamed it up, no one with access to the same evidence he had ever proposed it."

Freud may had some "fingerprint" of some kind of evidence, but dreams have been resource that shaman have used in various ways for eons.

"Believe me, a straight translation of Freud into Spanish sounds like Scientology."

That's because there are similar and Hubbard states a number of times that Freud is significant lineage to Scientology.
And of course Dianetics was mostly directed toward psychology, but as said here:
"The American Psychological Association passed a resolution in 1950 calling "attention to the fact that these claims are not supported by empirical evidence of the sort required for the establishment of scientific generalizations."

And apparently there was other organizational actions which "soured" the hoped for relationship.

You could say that Freud institutionalize what humans have been doing forever, and Scientotogy has further institutionalize it (which is a *massive* understatement:).
