ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the author presents a case study of a female patient who had the specific dreams. His studies in parapsychology from a psychoanalytical point of view commenced in 1936. They owed their origin to the fact that in the course of a treatment a female patient produced a dream with a distinctly telepathic character. Week before she had the specific dream, the patient, acting in a transference state, begged her psychiatrist to requite her love. The cautious refusal of this request threw the patient into a deplorable mental state in which she alternately hoped to succeed in her attempts and was driven back again to her sense of inferiority that she had before the transference.
