Sample text

T h e material derived from the associations of patients with this kind of fantasy is in the case of male children clearly connected with the boy's dread of a gigantic father—a dread proceeding from the comparison of his own genital organs with those of his father. T h e fear of castration and mutilation, or the dread of being eaten up or swallowed, is apparently even greater in the uncon­ scious than the dread of death. So long as we are not mutilated, the unconscious regards being buried, drowned, or swallowed up as a kind of continued existence in toto.

I n a little time I felt something alive moving on my left leg, which advancing gently forward over my breast came almost up to my chin; when bending my eyes downwards as much as I could, I per­ ceived it to be a human creature, not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver at his back. I n the meantime, I felt at least forty more of the same kind (as I con­ jectured) following the first. ' This description has a great similarity to the apparitions seen by our neurotic patients who so often tell us how they are frightened by little animals and manikins sitting on their breasts.

To draw up the troops in close order, and march them under me . . with drums beating, colours flying and pikes advanced. . His Majesty gave orders upon pain of death that every soldier in his march should observe the strictest decency with regard to my person, which, however, could not prevent some of the younger officers from turning up their eyes as they passed under me. A n d to confess the truth, my breeches were at that time in so ill a condition that they afforded some opportunities for laughter and admiration/ Does not this sound exactly like the reassurance-fantasy or dream of an impotent man who in waking life suffers from the idea that his penis is too small and in consequence of his sense of inferiority is shy of showing his organ and in dreams basks in the admiration of those whose penises are even smaller than his own?
