COLI 110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Coitus Interruptus, Green Paper, Palimpsest
Document Summary
[5] after the completion of my manuscript, a paper by stumpf came to my notice which agrees with my work in attempting to prove that the dream is full of meaning and capable of interpretation. But the interpretation is undertaken by means of an allegorizing symbolism, and there is no guarantee that the procedure is generally applicable. [7] every psychologist is obliged to admit even his own weaknesses, if he thinks by that he may throw light on a difficult problem. [8] however, i will not omit to mention, in qualification of the above statement, that i have practically never reported a complete interpretation of a dream of my own. And i was probably right not to trust too far to the reader"s discretion. [9] this is the first dream which i subjected to an exhaustive interpretation. [10] the complaint of pains in the abdomen, as yet unexplained, may also be referred to this third person.
