Men have always found in dreaIus something OF

forms Of prophecy the Interpretation OF dreams.
Such visions looked upon emanating from
supernatural source and revealing truths deeply

Sigmund Freud experimenting at Zurich with neural
disorders. probably did not imagine TO what extent
he was providing opportunities for the goth century

hundreds Of amateur psychoanalysts
