this kind of behavior; I won’t have it.” The more harmless portion of this
speech was arrived at by a displacement of the dream content; in the dream
thoughts only the other portion of the speech played a part, because the dream
work changed an imaginary situation into utter irrecognizability and complete
inoffensiveness (while in a certain sense I behave in an unseemly way to the
lady). The situation resulting in this phantasy is, however, nothing but a new
edition of one that actually took place. 2. A dream apparently meaningless
relates to figures. “She wants to pay something; her daughter takes three
florins sixty-five kreuzers out of her purse; but she says: ‘What are you
doing? It only cost twenty-one kreuzers.’” The dreamer was a stranger who
had placed her child at school in Vienna, and who was able to continue under
my treatment so long as her daughter remained at Vienna. The day before the
dream the directress of the school had recommended her to keep the child
another year at school. In this case she would have been able to prolong her
treatment by one year. The figures in the dream become important if it be
remembered that time is money. One year equals 365 days, or, expressed in
kreuzers, 365 kreuzers, which is three florins sixty-five kreuzers. The twenty-
one kreuzers correspond with the three weeks which remained from the day
of the dream to the end of the school term, and thus to the end of the
treatment. It was obviously financial considerations which had moved the
lady to refuse the proposal of the directress, and which were answerable for
the triviality of the amount in the dream. 3. A lady, young, but already ten
years married, heard that a friend of hers, Miss Elise L____, of about the
same age, had become engaged. This gave rise to the following dream: She
was sitting with her husband in the theater; the one side of the stalls was quite
empty. Her husband tells her, Elise L____ and her fiancé had intended
coming, but could only get some cheap seats, three for one florin fifty
kreuzers, and these they would not take. In her opinion, that would not have
mattered very much. The origin of the figures from the matter of the dream
thoughts and the changes the figures underwent are of interest. Whence came
the one florin fifty kreuzers? From a trifling occurrence of the previous day.
Her sister-in-law had received 150 florins as a present from her husband, and
had quickly got rid of it by buying some ornament. Note that 150 florins is
one hundred times one florin fifty kreuzers. For the three concerned with the
tickets, the only link is that Elise L____ is exactly three months younger than
the dreamer. The scene in the dream is the repetition of a little adventure for
which she has often been teased by her husband. She was once in a great
hurry to get tickets in time for a piece, and when she came to the theater one
side of the stalls was almost empty. It was therefore quite unnecessary for her
to have been in such a hurry. Nor must we overlook the absurdity of the
dream that two persons should take three tickets for the theater. Now for the
dream ideas. It was stupid to have married so early; I need not have been in so
