p. 2 “Are symbolical” — Vague, not really correct when formulated in such general terms.
p. 8 The customary symbolism of our ceremonial (bridal wreath, ring, flag, in religious terms: Last Supper) has here been wholly overlooked.
p. 14 True only of superficial perceptions. When we are taking it easy, ucs. purposive images usually take over. But this does not affect the essence of your statement.
p. 23 The opposites are actually fantastic-real, not symbolic-real.
p. 24 “The first cause” — the only untenable point I have so far encountered. It smacks of Ψ caprice and, in respect of the dream, looks like a revival of the medical dream theory.
p. 25 The dream does this only apparently, in its form. In content it is perfectly logical and consistent. But the forces, the drives, at work in it are archaic.
p. 26 The doubt also extends to the conclusion drawn in the foregoing sentence on this page.
p. 38 The symbolism in the dream from Scherner!2 I didn't go deeply enough into symbolism in my dream-book. Stekel is now filling in this gap in his papers.3
p. 39 This would be more apt if the ancients, who lived in mythology, had not also had dreams. I regard the underlined sentence as clever, but misleading.
