A Dream (n.) paints only in outline and in the roughest fashion, so its pictures seem like inspired sketches — and it cannot merely show an object but must involve the dreamer in an event: gold coins in the street, picked up delightedly and carried off.
Dream symbolism (n.) is imagination's dislike of showing an object by its proper image, preferring a foreign image that expresses only the one attribute it wants.
Dream symbolism (n.) paints the body in objects: the breathing lung becomes a roaring furnace, the heart a hollow box, the male organ a clarinet or pipe-stem, the pubic hair a piece of fur.
The Dream-work (n.) has no conceptual speech and must paint what it means; so its speech, however clear, is diffuse, clumsy and awkward.
The Dream-work (n.) often throws aside its veil at the end, openly revealing the organ it was disguising — the dental dream ends with the dreamer pulling out a tooth.
A House (n.) is the dream-imagination's favourite picture of the body as a whole: a long street of houses for the intestines, a ceiling crawling with toad-like spiders for a headache.
Imagination (n.) freed in dreams from reason's domination leaps into unlimited sovereignty: not merely reproductive but productive, loving the immoderate, exaggerated and monstrous.
Imagination (n.) set free from the shackles of daytime seeks to give a symbolic picture of the organ that stirs and of the stimulus itself.
Pain (n.) felt in sleep may become a desperate struggle with fierce dogs or savage bulls — the dream-ego entering into concrete relations with the symbols of its own state.
