The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud
II.
One night I dream that I see on a
bookseller's counter a new volume of one of those collectors' series,
which I am in the habit of buying (monographs on artistic subjects,
history, famous artistic centres, etc.). The new collection is entitled
"Famous Orators" (or Orations), and the first number bears the name of
Dr. Lecher.
On analysis it seems to me improbable
that the fame of Dr. Lecher, the long-winded speaker of the German
Opposition, should occupy my thoughts while I am dreaming. The fact is
that a few days ago I undertook the psychological treatment of some new
patients, and am now forced to talk for ten to twelve hours a day. Thus
I myself am a long-winded speaker.
