140 after a well-replenished table after the supper" belongs to the sexual symbolism of eating. The nuptial night generally follows a good supper. As an old maid, the patient is able to say calmly, "I never saw such a production." In the expression "theater" and "animals of all kinds," one gets the feeling as though there is a presentation of a menagerie.

This analysis, unlike the preceding one, was constantly interrupted by obstructions (thought-deprivations) and motor stereotypies (embracing), from which we may conclude that it concerns particularly markedly repressed thoughts. The patient for example described for some time with her index finger a circle in the air, "she must show the speaking trumpets" or she designated small half moons with both hands "these are the mustaches." Besides this the "telephone" made mocking remarks, to which we shall return later.

By "Maria Theresa" patient again understands a particular quality of her greatness. This part of the analysis therefore interests us no longer. We have here a peculiar dream formation which ends with "I am Emperor Francis." Emperor Francis was the husband of Maria Theresa. Patient is Maria Theresa and at the same time Emperor Francis, "in spite of her being a woman." She condenses therefore the relations of both persons into her own, which in her hazy way of talking probably
