The gradual increase of alarm and distress expressed in this dream, having its probable cause in the cumulative effect of the disturbing sound of the church bells, must be patent to all.
The following rather comical dream illustrates quite as clearly the growth of a feeling of irritation and vexation, probably connected with the development of some slightly discomposing organic sensation.

I dreamt I was unexpectedly called on to lecture to a class of young women, on Herder.

I began hesitatingly, with some vague generalities about the Augustan age of German literature, referring to the three well-known names of Lessing, Schiller, and Goethe.

Immediately my sister, who suddenly appeared in the class, took me up, and said she thought there was a fourth distinguished name belonging to this period.
I was annoyed at the interruption, but said, with a feeling of triumph, "I suppose you mean Wieland ?" and then appealed to the class whether there were not twenty persons who knew the names I had mentioned to one who knew Wieland's name.

Then the class became generally disorderly.
