I was again immersed in these dreadful tantrums, those storms of tears with which my mother had to cope when I was 4\u20135 years of age and we were abroad. The dream beautifully brought back the sensation of utter disaster when letting myself completely go I simultaneously realized that I was removing further and further, with every sob, and howl a reconciliation with my helpless, distraught mother. In to-night\u2019s dream, I was &lt;new card&gt; already in such a tempest as I rushed from my and S.\u2019s<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> bedroom in a hotel into the white corridor and endeavored to break into mother\u2019s room. She would not let me in\u2014cried out abruptly and jarringly that she was trying on something. I dashed into a water closet and next moment was oddly standing on the lid and hugging the whitewashed pipe that went upward to a basin-like affair in which I plunged my face (the dream rather eccentrically gave the measure &lt;new card&gt; of my height by means of this position which apparently had no other purpose or meaning). My mother with bright eyes and flushed face opened the door at the end of a kind of vestibule leading to the place where I sobbed. There I let myself go completely. Unfortunately at this moment my brother S. whom the English governess was dressing heard my sobbing and joined in. This double performance spoilt the matter and M.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> instead of consoling me broke into tears herself.<\/p>\n<p>Had been rereading (Oct. 29) the Russian version of <em>Speak, Memory<\/em>.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\"><sup>[3]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a>.
