_Havelock Ellis_ and _Moll_ (_Handbuch der Sexualwissenschaften_,
Leipzig, F. C. W. Vogel, 1912) draw attention to this fact: “Both
sexes often show a remarkable youthfulness in appearance which is
preserved late into the adult state. The love of green, which is
chiefly, normally, a favorite color with children, and especially with
girls, is often observed. A certain degree of histrionic talent is not
uncommon as well as an inclination towards tenderness, occasionally
also a feminine love of adornments and jewels. It may be said of many
of these physical and psychic characteristics that they denote a
certain degree of infantilism, and this fits in with the view that
homosexuality is traceable to aboriginal bisexuality; for the deeper
we penetrate into the life history of the individual, the nearer we
approach the bisexual stage.”

Footnote 35:
_Cp._ the novel by _Kafka_, _Die Verwandlung_ (Verlag von Kurt Wolff).
It portrays the transformation of a man into a bedbug. It is obviously
a sadistic fancy (the bedbug sucks blood). This meaning is not
imparted to the patient so as not to influence the course of his
associations.
Footnote 36:
The mouth as an erogenous zone. He expected kisses and meanwhile was
satisfied with other sweets as a substitute. He is a confirmed lover
of dainties and still relies on sweets which he is in the habit of
carrying in his pockets.
Footnote 37:
This is a thought which troubles many neurotics. It is their way of
belittling the persons who impress them and who thus make them realize
their own inferiority.
Footnote 38:
Later will be shown the sadistic meaning of this phantasy. Urine is
often a substitute for blood in the dream....

Footnote 42:
In the Tristan phantasy these reminiscences return. The father is the
betrayed King. The episode of the father’s departure in that dream
becomes clear only now. He died in time to avoid the experience of a
second deception in love.
Footnote 43:
_Cp._ my laws of symbolic equivalents in _Language of Dreams_: All
secretions and excreta are equal to one another as symbols.
