Thus, a correspondent tells me of a healthy man, of very pure
character, totally inexperienced in sexual matters, and never
having seen a woman naked, who, in his sexual dreams, always sees
the woman with male organs, though he has never had any sexual
inclinations for men, and is much in love with a lady. The
confusions and associations of dream imagery, leading to abnormal
combinations, may be illustrated by a dream which once occurred
to me after reading Joest's account of how a young negress, whose
tattoo-marks he was sketching, having become bored, suddenly
pressed her hands to her breasts, spirting two streams of
lukewarm milk into his face, and ran away laughing; I dreamed of
a woman performing a similar action, not from her breasts,
however, but from a penis with which she was furnished. Again, by
another kind of confusion, a man dreams sexually that he is with
a man, although the figure of the partner revealed in the dream
is a woman. The following dream, in a normal man who had never
been, or wished to be, in the position shown by the dream, may be
quoted: "I dreamed that I was a big boy, and that a younger boy
lay close beside me, and that we (or, certainly, he) had seminal
emissions; I was complacently passive, and had a feeling of shame
when the boy was discovered. On awaking I found I had had no
emission, but was lying very close to my wife.
