She says to me I must

3 Dogs in the dream represent "shameless" sexuality. Mop-seln = coire (Anthropophyteia, vol. Ill, p. 222.); Also "Pu-deln." bring Dr. Stekel's servant girl an apron, - this will probably be an easy thing for me to do as my sister carries aprons in stock. An apron like that is probably worth about fifteen kreuzer. I promise to do so, the while thinking to myself that such aprons as she has in mind cost thirty-five kreuzer a piece. I coddle up to her; m that moment I see it is my sister. I was about to kiss her but hesitate. She says I must be joyous, it is all right. I may kiss her.

The figures are explained by the patient as follows: 15 - filnf-zehn (fifteen), fiinf Zehen (five toes) - five fingers and signifies onanism.

Thirty-five, according to him means "mit den Fiinf en reiss ich" and also points to masturbation (Sich einen herunterreissen). The sister urges him to kiss her, - it does not matter. That was once a fact. He was six years of age (15=5+1=6), the sister was eight (35=3+ 5=8) when they were together in bed and were playing with one another. She had then asked him to kiss her.

He loves his sister very dearly to this day. A poem by Paul Heyse comes to his mind:

Ein bruder und ein Schwester Nichts treueres kent die Welt Kein Goldkettlein halt fester Als das zusammenhalt.

The apron 4 has various associations. . . .

And presently he brings a second dream which portrays more deeply the sense of guilt linked to certain infantile incestuous episodes.
