Absurdity (n.) has ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠no limit in dreams: there is nothing imaginable too absurd, too involved, or too abnormal for us to dream it.

Absurdity (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠be mere careless wording: the dream fails to tell the bust from the man, as we might say 'there's something wrong with Father'.

Absurdity (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠stand for a judgement in a dream — the thought 'it was absurd of me' shown by putting something absurd on stage.

Absurdity (n.) signifies ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠derision in obsessional thought as in dreams: a mocking yes attached to an impossible condition.

Absurdity (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠not the mind failing in a dream but the mind mocking: ridicule in the dream-thoughts comes out as nonsense.
