    "title": "The Interpretation of Dreams",
    "author": "Sigmund Freud",
    "date": "principal composition, 1898-1899; publication dated 1900",
    "summary": "Freud treats the dream as a constructed psychical formation, not a message decoded through fixed symbols. He follows condensation, displacement, censorship, and wish-fulfilment from the manifest account toward hypothetical latent thoughts.",
    "learning": "Distinguish manifest content from latent thoughts, recognize mechanisms of dream-work, and keep every interpretation at the level of a hypothesis.",
    "long_summary": "The book combines a method of interpretation, dream analyses, an account of dream-work, and a theory of the psychical apparatus. An apparently trivial detail becomes evidence when the dreamer’s associations connect it to conflict or wish.\n\nThis later edition carries revisions accumulated since 1900. The German manifestation is the source; the project’s French and English texts are non-official, paraphrase-only translations. The book supplies a historical framework for inquiry, never a license to diagnose a reader or impose a certain meaning on a dream.",

        "medicine": "CT, MRI, transplantation, vaccines, and intensive care advance; the AIDS epidemic exposes both medical capacity and its limits.",

Z. B. einer meiner jüngsten Hysteriker, ein zwölfjähriger Knabe, wird am Einschlafen gehindert durch » grüne Gesichter mit roten Augen «, vor denen er sich entsetzt. Quelle dieser Erscheinung ist die unterdrückte, aber einstens bewußte Erinnerung an einen Knaben, den er vor vier Jahren oftmals sah, und der ihm ein abschreckendes Bild vieler Kinderunarten bot, darunter auch jener der Onanie, aus der er sich selbst jetzt einen nachträglichen Vorwurf macht. Die Mama hatte damals bemerkt, daß der ungezogene Junge eine grünliche Gesichtsfarbe habe und rote (d. h. rot geränderte) Augen . Daher das Schreckgespenst, das übrigens nur dazu bestimmt ist, ihn an eine andere Vorhersage der Mama zu erinnern, daß solche Jungen blödsinnig werden, in der Schule nichts erlernen können und früh sterben. Unser kleiner Patient läßt den einen Teil der Prophezeiung eintreffen; er kommt im Gymnasium nicht weiter und fürchtet sich, wie das Verhör seiner ungewollten Einfälle zeigt, entsetzlich vor dem zweiten Teile. Die Behandlung hat allerdings nach kurzer Zeit den Erfolg, daß er schläft, seine Ängstlichkeit verliert und sein Schuljahr mit einem Vorzugszeugnis abschließt.",

            "text": "For the hallucinations of hysteria and paranoia, and the visions of mentally normal persons, I can offer the explanation that they do in fact correspond to regressions, that is, that they are thoughts transformed into images, and that only thoughts intimately connected with suppressed memories or memories that have remained unconscious undergo this transformation. For example, one of my youngest hysterical patients, a twelve-year-old boy, is prevented from falling asleep by “green faces with red eyes,” which fill him with horror. The source of this phenomenon is the suppressed, though once conscious, memory of a boy whom he often saw four years earlier and who presented him with a repellent picture of many childish misdeeds, including masturbation, for which he now reproaches himself retrospectively. His mother had remarked at the time that the naughty boy had a greenish complexion and red eyes (that is, eyes rimmed with red). Hence the terrifying specter, which, moreover, is intended only to remind him of another prediction made by his mother: that such boys become feeble-minded, can learn nothing at school, and die young. Our little patient fulfills one part of the prophecy; he makes no progress at the Gymnasium and, as the examination of his involuntary ideas shows, is terribly afraid of the second part. After a short time, however, the treatment has the result that he sleeps, loses his anxiety, and finishes his school year with a report of distinction.",

            "text": "Pour les hallucinations de l’hystérie et de la paranoïa, ainsi que pour les visions de personnes mentalement saines, je peux fournir l’explication suivante : elles correspondent effectivement à des régressions, c’est-à-dire qu’elles sont des pensées transformées en images, et seules subissent cette transformation les pensées qui se trouvent dans un rapport intime avec des souvenirs réprimés ou demeurés inconscients. Par exemple, l’un de mes plus jeunes hystériques, un garçon de douze ans, est empêché de s’endormir par des « visages verts aux yeux rouges », qui l’épouvantent. La source de ce phénomène est le souvenir réprimé, mais jadis conscient, d’un garçon qu’il voyait souvent quatre ans auparavant et qui lui offrait l’image repoussante de nombreuses mauvaises habitudes enfantines, parmi lesquelles celle de l’onanisme, qu’il se reproche maintenant lui-même après coup. La maman avait alors remarqué que le garçon désobéissant avait le teint verdâtre et les yeux rouges (c’est-à-dire bordés de rouge). De là vient le spectre effrayant, qui n’a d’ailleurs d’autre destination que de lui rappeler une autre prédiction de la maman : de tels garçons deviennent idiots, ne peuvent rien apprendre à l’école et meurent jeunes. Notre petit patient réalise une partie de la prophétie : il ne progresse pas au lycée et, comme le montre l’examen de ses idées involontaires, il craint terriblement la seconde partie. Le traitement obtient toutefois après peu de temps ce résultat qu’il dort, perd son anxiété et termine son année scolaire avec un bulletin d’excellence.",
