"C. was somewhere and saw an old woman who appeared to be a _Jewess_. She was holding a _bottle_ and a _glass_, and seemed to be drinking whisky. Then this woman changed into her own _mother_, who had the bottle and glass, and appeared likewise to be drinking whisky. “Then the door opened and her _father_ appeared. He had on her _husband’s dressing gown_, and he was holding _two sticks of wood_ in his hand.” Before interpreting this dream I will state that the subject had been tormented (as was brought out by the associative memories) by the question whether poor people should be condemned if they yielded to temptation, particularly that of drinking. This problem she could not answer satisfactorily to herself. It is the inferred causal factor in the dream process. The dream gave an answer to this problem. Let me also point out that the material, that is, the elements out of which this dream was constructed (indicated by the words italicized), was found in the thoughts of the dreamer on the preceding day and particularly just before going to sleep. The first scene of the dream ends with the mother drinking whisky: the second scene represents the father appearing with two sticks of wood. For the sake of simplicity of illustration I will confine myself to the _interpretation_ of this first scene as it will answer our present purposes. “As to the first scene” (by technical methods of analysis) “a rich collection of memories was obtained. It appeared that on the previous morning the subject had walked with a _poor Jewess_ through the slums, and had passed by some men who had been _drinking_. This led her to think at the time of the lives of these poor people; of the _temptations_ to which they were exposed; of how little we know of this side of life and of its _temptations_. She wondered what the effect of such surroundings, particularly of seeing people _drinking_, would have upon the child of the Jewess. She wondered if such people ought to be condemned if they yielded to drink and other temptations. She thought that she herself would not blame such people if they yielded, and that we ought not to _condemn_ them. Then in the psychoanalysis there came memories of her mother, whose character she admired and who _never condemned any one_. She remembered how her mother, who was an invalid, always had a glass of _whisky_ and water on her table at night, and how the family used to joke her about it. Then came memories again of her husband sending _bottles of whisky_ to her mother; of the latter _drinking_ it at night; of the men whom she had seen in the slums and who had been _drinking_. These, very briefly, were the experiences accompanied by strong feeling tones which were called up as associative memories of this scene of the dream. With these in mind, it is not difficult to construct a logical, though symbolic, meaning of it. In the dream _a_ Jewess (not _the_
