ABSTRACT

In this chapter I propose to submit the record of a series of three dreams, occurring during one night, which illustrate several points of interest. They show, in the first place, the great importance which the manifest content may have as a guide to the deeper meaning of dreams. They illustrate, further, a point insisted on by Freud that all dreams occurring in one night can be referred to the same latent content; and lastly, they will serve as an introduction to the problem why dreams are so easily forgotten and to the relation of the depth of sleep during which a dream is experienced to the nature of the dream.
