SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1951.

THE TAPES WHICH HAD BEEN PINNED DOWN TO MARK THE TRACK BLEW UP AND ENTANGLED YOU— YOU LAY ON THE BRASS LAUGHING AS THE OTHER GIRLS BAN ON

THIS DREAM MEANS:

You compete with other giria and are bust: when you fall and get entangled you laugh, it aff and pretend not to care. This provides you with an excuse for not carrying on.

The drear suggakis a sense of inferiority in relation to other girls: what about, it doesn't say. Pretending not to care seems to be the esitch reaction to your sense of inferiority.

The natural constructive use of humour is to de-tense yourself and others: to aboilah tension or anxiety for the moment and carry on. The escapist use of humour, as in this dream is to provide an excuse for not trying. not caring, being a "quitter. Better to face up.
