Der Träumer sitzt als Offizier an einer Tafel dem Kaiser gegenüber: Er bringt sich in Gegensatz zum Vater.\n\n7. Der Träumer behandelt eine andere Person wegen eines Knochenbruches . Die Analyse erweist diesen Bruch als Darstellung eines Ehebruches u. dgl.\n\n8. Die Tageszeiten vertreten im Trauminhalt sehr häufig Lebenszeiten der Kindheit. So bedeutet z. B. um ¼6 Uhr früh bei einem Träumer das Alter von 5 Jahren 3 Monaten, den bedeutungsvollen Zeitpunkt der Geburt eines jüngeren Bruders.\n\n9. Eine andere Darstellung von Lebenszeiten im Traume: Eine Frau geht mit zwei kleinen Mädchen, die 1¼ Jahre auseinander sind. – Die Träumerin findet keine Familie ihrer Bekanntschaft, für die das zuträfe. Sie deutet selbst, daß beide Kinder ihre eigene Person darstellen, und daß der Traum sie mahnt, die beiden traumatischen Ereignisse ihrer Kindheit seien um soviel voneinander entfernt.

Sie kann sich z. B. den Umstand, daß der darzustellende Ausdruck zweideutig ist, zunutze machen und, den Doppelsinn als ›Weiche‹ benutzend, statt der ersten, in den Traumgedanken vorkommenden Bedeutung, die zweite in den manifesten Trauminhalt aufnehmen.\n\nDies ist bei dem kleinen, im folgenden mitgeteilten Traume geschehen und zwar unter geschickter Benutzung der dazu tauglichen rezenten Tageseindrücke als Darstellungsmaterial.\n\nIch hatte am Traumtage an einer Erkältung gelitten und deshalb am Abend beschlossen, das Bett, wenn irgend möglich, während der Nacht nicht zu verlassen. Der Traum ließ mich scheinbar nur meine Tagesarbeit fortsetzen; ich hatte mich damit beschäftigt, Zeitungsausschnitte in ein Buch zu kleben, wobei ich bestrebt war, jedem Ausschnitt den passenden Platz anzuweisen. Der Traum lautete:\n\n› Ich bemühe mich, einen Ausschnitt in das Buch zu kleben; er geht aber nicht auf die Seite, was mir großen Schmerz verursacht. ‹\n\nIch erwachte und mußte konstatieren, daß der Schmerz des Traumes als realer Leibschmerz andauere, der mich denn auch zwang, meinem Vorsatz untreu zu werden. Der Traum hatte mir als ›Hüter des Schlafes‹ die Erfüllung meines Wunsches, im Bette zu bleiben, durch die Darstellung der Worte ›er geht aber nicht auf die Seite‹ vorgetäuscht.«", "source_id": "project-gutenberg-40739", "translation_type": "original_language" }, { "language": "en", "text": "6. The dreamer sits as an officer at a table opposite the Emperor: He places himself in opposition to his father.\n\n7. The dreamer treats another person for a bone fracture. Analysis shows this fracture to be a representation of adultery and the like.\n\n8. Times of day very frequently represent periods of childhood in the dream-content. Thus, for example, 5:15 in the morning signifies for one dreamer the age of 5 years and 3 months, the significant time of the birth of a younger brother.\n\n9. Another representation of periods of life in dreams: A woman is walking with two little girls who are 1¼ years apart in age. The dreamer can think of no family she knows of whom this is true. She herself interprets both children as representing her own person, and the dream as reminding her that the two traumatic events of her childhood are separated by that amount of time. (3½ and 4¾ years.)\n\n10. (H. Sachs.) “From The Interpretation of Dreams we know that the dream-work has various means of representing a word or phrase in sensuously perceptible form. It can, for example, exploit the circumstance that the expression to be represented is ambiguous and, using the double meaning as a ‘switch,’ can admit into the manifest dream-content the second meaning instead of the first, which occurs in the dream-thoughts.\n\nThis is what happened in the following little dream, with skilful use of suitable recent impressions from the day as material for representation.\n\nOn the day of the dream I had suffered from a cold and had therefore resolved in the evening not to leave my bed during the night if at all possible. The dream apparently merely allowed me to continue my day’s work; I had been occupied with pasting newspaper cuttings into a book, endeavoring to assign each cutting its proper place. The dream ran:\n\n‘I am trying to paste a cutting into the book, but it will not go onto the side, which causes me great pain.’\n\nI awoke and had to establish that the pain in the dream continued as real bodily pain, which then compelled me to break my resolution. As ‘guardian of sleep,’ the dream had feigned the fulfilment of my wish to remain in bed by representing the words ‘but it will not go onto the side.’”", "translator": "Codex gpt-5.6-sol", "edition": "Prokopton42 non-official AI translation, 2026-09-14", "source_id": "prokopton42-codex-translation:gpt-5.6-sol:corpus-passage-translation-v1", "translation_type": "ai_generated_translation", "official_status": "non_official", "generation_model": "gpt-5.6-sol" }, { "language": "fr", "text": "6.

L’analyse révèle que cette fracture représente un adultère, etc.\n\n8. Les heures de la journée représentent très fréquemment, dans le contenu du rêve, des âges de l’enfance. Ainsi, par exemple, 5 h 15 du matin signifie chez un rêveur l’âge de 5 ans et 3 mois, moment significatif de la naissance d’un frère cadet.\n\n9. Une autre représentation des âges de la vie dans le rêve : Une femme marche avec deux petites filles qui ont 1 an et 3 mois d’écart. La rêveuse ne trouve aucune famille de sa connaissance à laquelle cela corresponde. Elle interprète elle-même que les deux enfants représentent sa propre personne et que le rêve lui rappelle que les deux événements traumatiques de son enfance sont séparés par le même intervalle. (3 ans et demi et 4 ans et 9 mois.)\n\n10. (H. Sachs.) « La “Traumdeutung” nous apprend que le travail du rêve connaît diverses voies pour représenter sous une forme sensible et concrète un mot ou une locution. Il peut, par exemple, tirer parti de l’équivocité de l’expression à représenter et, en employant le double sens comme un “aiguillage”, introduire dans le contenu manifeste du rêve la seconde signification au lieu de la première, qui figure dans les pensées oniriques.\n\nC’est ce qui s’est produit dans le petit rêve rapporté ci-dessous, avec une utilisation habile, comme matériau de représentation, des impressions récentes de la journée qui s’y prêtaient.\n\nLe jour du rêve, j’avais souffert d’un refroidissement et avais donc décidé le soir de ne pas quitter mon lit pendant la nuit, si cela était possible. Le rêve ne faisait apparemment que me laisser poursuivre mon travail de la journée ; je m’étais occupé à coller des coupures de journaux dans un livre, en m’efforçant d’attribuer à chacune la place qui lui convenait. Le rêve était ainsi conçu :\n\n“Je m’efforce de coller une coupure dans le livre ; mais elle ne va pas sur le côté, ce qui me cause une grande douleur.”\n\nJe m’éveillai et dus constater que la douleur du rêve persistait sous la forme d’une douleur corporelle réelle, laquelle me contraignit alors à manquer à ma résolution. En sa qualité de “gardien du sommeil”, le rêve avait feint d’accomplir mon désir de rester au lit en représentant les mots “mais elle ne va pas sur le côté”. »", "translator": "Codex gpt-5.6-sol", "edition": "Prokopton42 non-official AI translation, 2026-09-14", "source_id": "prokopton42-codex-translation:gpt-5.6-sol:corpus-passage-translation-v1", "translation_type": "ai_generated_translation", "official_status": "non_official", "generation_model": "gpt-5.6-sol" } ], "content_checksum": "facc9ca81667862e4b5a5e7379fb65b90703ca964a1449d58596b6e237e014d3" }
