136 get another link, the name of the highest deity is "St." as is also the name of patient. The predicate "Roman" probably has to thank for its origin the vague analogy to "Pope." The deity like the Pope is of masculine gender and differentiates itself from the patient as "God." Next to the masculine deity, which name is apparently meant to express a close relation to her family, she sees the head of her deceased sister, a picture which reminds one of the two pagan deities Jupiter and Juno. She therefore in a way marries her sister to the godly Mr. St. This seems nothing more than an analogy, it is a presagement of her own ascension, where she will become (the sexually not indifferent) queen of heaven, Mary, mother of God, symbolizing the earthly mother. Such a sublimation of the very worldly matrimonial desire is, since the oldest Christian epochs, a loving toy of woman's dreams. From the Christian interpretation of the Song of Songs to the secret rapture of St. Catherine of Siena and the marriage of Hauptmann's "Hannele" it is always the same theme, it is the prelude in heaven to the earthly comedy. To represent one's own complexes in strange actors, as seen in dreams, is a recognized fact even by those investigators of dreams who absolutely reject Freud's theories. As transitivismus it is not at all unknown in psychopathology. The above intrepretationsinterpretations [sic] I express hypothetically, hoping to confirm them in the following analysis.

2. Stereotype: "I came at first with the deaf and dumb Mr. W. from the city and first also with Uster." I came for example at first with the deaf and dumb Mr. W. from the city—you go here with Mrs. W. Uster—I am Uster—to guard against mistakes I state to you who must accept my interest draughts from Uster—a Mr. Grimm—Uster, Jud, Ith, and Guggenbühl have to accept my interest draughts—I came at first with the deaf and dumb Mr. W. from the city and first also with Uster—that is equal interest draughts—that is the equilibrium with the interest draughts from Uster. I affirm the churches of the city to guard the money. Mr. K. in M. manages my money in St. Peter. There I see the deaf and dumb Mr. W. near St. Peter, in dream one Sunday while I slept—Mr. W. can give information about the last penny belonging to me. Mr. W. belongs to the city and not to Uster—I came at first with the deaf and dumb Mr. W. from the city and at first also with Uster—that is double—equilibrium.
