What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF LACK OF
CLOTHING?

MHAT is called one of the stand
Wv ard" dreams, one which is most
annoying and one which everybody al
most, has experienced at least once in
his life, some people many times, is
the dream of finding oneself in a
thronged street or in room filled
with people and suddenly realizing
that one is only partially clothed or
not clothed at all. In these dreams
the people with whom we find ourself
do not appear to take any notice or
our unconventional condition, but the
dreamer is much disturbed and en-
deayOrs to escape This dream has
received particular attention from
those scientists who for more than
half a century have been investigating
the phenomena of dreams re-
garded as purely mental Tor more ac-
curately psychic), or as physical mani
festations. The dream in question is
said to be the basis of Hans Chris
tan Andersen's story, ''The Emper-
Or's New Clothes and has been done
into poetry by the German author,
Fulda, in "The Talisman." 1T is
called by the scientists STANDARD"
or typical dream because it is one
which is experienced by all persons
in an identical or almost identical
manner; whereas most of our dreams
are peculiar to ourselves.
The empires, those who interpret
dreams in the old superstitiOus, tradi-
tional mystic and unscientific manner
declare the dream under cOnsidera-
ton to be a bad omen, though they do
not all agree just how bad. They
say it signifies that people are con-
spring against you; that you are soon
to receive an insult you will be dis
appointed in your friends and rela-
tiyes and it is warning to you to
mend your ways.
Those scientists who strive to ac-
count for dreams by referring them to
a physical source say that this dream
is simply the result of sensations
caused by the bedclothes slipping off.
But that does not hold for we fire.
IupUIiH nave Tic uItdlIl Wlic1 COfGICu
up warm.
Professor Freud, the latest and the
most celebrated of investigators of
dream sources, says in his book, 'The
Interpretation of Dreams" that the
dream is based upon a recollection of
our earliest childhood. When we were
babies we were seen with Indifference
by relatives, strangers and servants
scantily dressed and were not
ashamed. These recollections of baby
hood imprisoned dormant and unre-
callable in our waking hours, are
liberated to us in the dream state.
Our feeling Of uneasiness and desire
to escape though no one notices
our nudity, is reflex from the
repression" of our later lives during
which the habit of being properly
clothed in public has become part OF
cur normal existence.
