… I have nothing to report to you. At most a small analogy to D's dream psychosis that we went through together. Rudi Kaufmann, a very intelligent nephew of Breuer's, and a medical student too, is a late riser. He gets himself called by a servant, but is very reluctant about obeying her. One morning she woke him up a second time and, as he would not respond, called him by his name: ‘Herr Rudi!’ Thereupon the sleeper had a hallucination of a notice-board over a hospital bed (cf. the Rudolf-inerhaus)2 with the name ‘Rudolf Kaufmann’ on it, and said to himself: ‘R. K.'s in hospital in any case, then; so I needn't go there!’ and went on sleeping.3
