ABSTRACT
The dreamless sleep ended. The day was as empty of events—facts proper to daytime—as the night had been empty of dreams. Meals were served to both girls. It occurred to them that they had no memory of the food; the 'facts' of daytime and night were defective, mutilated. They were having dreams—mutilated dreams—lacking a dimension like a solid body that casts no shadow in light. The world of reality, facts, was no longer distinguishable from dreams, unconsciousness, night. Thoughts with and thoughts without a thinker replaced a universe where discrimination ruled. Dreams had none of the distinguishing characteristics of mind, feelings, mental representations, formulations. The thinker had no thoughts, the thoughts were without thinkers. Freudian dreams had no Freudian free associations; Freudian free associations had no dreams. Without intuition they were empty; without concept they were blind.
