ABSTRACT
I n any analysis there are certain key dreams which markconspicuous turning-points in the dreamer's development.One such key dream dreamt by Mrs. Wright was, as we have already seen, Dream 9 in which she sacrificed the Hare. It will be remembered, however, that the form which the analysis of this dream took was one applicable to any kind of animal sacrifice, as representing the transformation of untutored instinct, through sacrifice, into spiritual value. Mrs. Wright being a devout Christian, I used the simile of the sacrifice of the Lamb to bring home its essential meaning. This treatment of the dream was efficacious beyond expectation, but left out of account the whole question of just why the animal chosen by her dream-mind to sacrifice was not a lamb but a hare.
