Rh By "city" the patient naturally means Zürich. Uster is a small prosperous and industrious town near Zürich. Mr. W. is unknown to me, hence I cannot speak about his more intimate determinations. The essential content of the above analysis lies in the first three sentences. Mr. W. "can give information about the last penny" of patient. He is therefore in her dreams firmly associated with her wealth and indeed as it appears in the above analysis with her sums deposited in her Zürich churches. (The patient once dreamed that the church of St. Peter was filled for her up to the roof with five franc pieces.) This wealth is compared with that of Uster. We know already that everything pleasing to patient is affirmed. Among the things affirmed we find large business houses of the city, and among others the whole Bahnhof street of the town of Chur. It is therefore no wonder that she "affirms" also the prosperous factories in Uster, hence she says "I am Uster," she also says "I am Chur." Furthermore she said to me "You go with Mrs. W. Uster—I am Uster." This clears up matters. She simply indicates by this that she is married to Mr. W. Through this marriage she unites all the wealth of Zürich and Uster. "That is double equilibrium with the interest draught from Uster." I wish to recall the former use of "double" which was there incomprehensible; here we can attach to it a satisfying erotic sense. The marriage which in the former analysis was simply indicated by transcendental symbols is here effected in a rather prosaic manner. The real, I might say, the coarse symbols are still lacking. We shall, however, find them in the following analysis.

3. Amphi.—This word comes to the surface but rarely in the form of "doctor this is again too much amphi." Patient rather vaguely deduces this word from "amphibian." If she occasionally complains about being disturbed at night by amphi and when asked to explain it, she talks about "a ritze-ratze animal," which "gnaws the floor"; it is, however, impossible to discover what harm "amphi" occasions her.

Amphi—that expresses itself in hedge hog, so broad and so long (indicating about a foot in length and somewhat less in breadth)—one morning, Mr. Zuppinger, through pork sausages—now I don't know if the men purposely wish to bring to the world such an animal—I affirmed this through pork
