144 the deaf and dumb Mr. W. from the city and then with Uster—I am the double bazaar. (In a later partial repetition of the analysis patient says: "Both children look like dolls, their names I also have from the bazaar.")

As is shown by the contents of this analysis there is no dout that the delusions also created children for the patient. The more intimate circumstances and determinations of these delusional  formations are especially interesting. While prolixly enumerating the contents of the show cases of the bazaar (only  slightly indicated above) patient stated that in her dreams Mr. Zuppinger shot out of her mouth as a little doll boy. It recalls the third analysis of this paragraph where Mr. Zuppinger is  firmly associated with all kinds of sexual symbols. We apparently deal here with the results of these delusional references. This peculiar way of representation is historical with the patient. As early as in 1897 it is noted in patient's history that the first assistant, Dr. D., who was at that time revered by the patient,  "came out of her mouth"; that is, "the very tiny D., the son  of the Emperor Barbarossa." Dr. D. had a reddish beard which probably aided the formation of "Barbarossa." The advancement to the position of Emperor, which is probably a symbol of  high estimation as well as veneration, has been transferred to  Dr. von Muralt, the successor to Dr. D. (Emperor Muralt, with  whom patient betrothed herself). The above passage can be easily conceived as the birth of a son from Dr. D. The event  with Mr. Zuppinger is construed on the same plan. The manner of birth, that is, the child stepping out of her mouth, is an evident confirmation of the "transposition from below to above,"  and therefore firmly supports our view about the snake and the  mouth as given under "amphi." That the little boy, Mr. Zuppinger, has some connection with this gentleman agrees perfectly with the sexual significance advanced above. Referring to the child as "little doll boy" is explained by its connection with  "bazaar" in the show windows of which dolls can be frequently  seen. Just as the mouth is a complex-representative for genitals, so is "doll" a more harmless complex-representative for "child,"  a thing quite usual in ordinary life. "He had no uniform on," "they are Czars," etc.—these sentences seem to contain a reminiscence from the preceding analysis, No. 5, where the critical
