Annotation of Freud
Alludes to Hamlet the most
Alludes to classical greek and roman literature rather than german authors
Most of these are to Sophocloes’ Oedipus
Rarely cites sources or translates them
Alludes to classics so that his theories can be considered timeless and universal
Preconscious for Freud to go to works he read as a child, but it is very usefull to him.
Through all of the allusion it is obvious that literature is a major part of his thought process, not solely an object of enquiry. Possibly from sources beyone the control of his conscious.
CHAPTER 1, Section H
H. The Relation between Dreams and Mental Diseases
When we speak of the relation of dreams to mental derangement, we may mean three different things: (1) aetiological and clinical relations, as when a dream represents or initiates a psychotic condition, or occurs subsequently to such a condition; (2) changes which the dream-life undergoes in cases of mental disease; (3) inner relations between dreams and psychoses, analogies which point to an intimate relationship. These manifold relations between the two series of phenomena were in the early days of medical science- and are once more at the present time- a favourite theme of medical writers, as we may learn from the literature on the subject collated by Spitta, Radestock, Maury, and Tissie. Recently Sante de Sanctis has directed his attention to this relationship. * For the purposes of our discussion it will suffice merely to glance at this important subject.
* Among the more recent authors who have occupied themselves with these relations are: Fere, Ideler, Lasegue, Pichon, Regis Vespa, Giessler, Kazodowsky, Pachantoni, and others.
As to the clinical and aetiological relations between dreams and the psychoses, I will report the following observations as examples: Hohnbaum asserts (see Krauss) that the first attack of insanity is frequently connected with a terrifying anxiety-dream, and that the
