Sigmund Freud

The medallion, given to Freud by friends on his 50th birthday, reads, "He was a man who knew the famous riddles and who was most powerful". Freud became pale upon receiving this medallion, as he had dreams of seeing his own bust along other busts of famous scholars at an arcade, while still a student at the University of Vienna, and of having this very inscription beneath the bust.

Havelock Ellis's "Dyspeptic" Dream

"I was being rhythmically swung up and down in the air by a young woman, my feet never touching the ground; and then that I was swinging her similarly. At one time she seemed to be swinging me in too jerky and hurried a manner, and I explained to her that it must be done in a slower and more regular manner, though I was not conscious of the precise words I used. There had been some dyspepsia on the previous day, and on awaking I felt slight discomfort in the region of the heart. The symbolism into which slightly disturbed respiratory or cardiac action is here transformed seems very clear in this dream, becaues it shows the actual transition from the subjective sensation to the objective imagery of flying. By means of this symbolic imagery we find sleeping consciousness commanding the hurried heart to beat in a more healthy manner".
