The shop employee

Havelock Ellis

The World of Dreams (1922) · Printed page 37; normalized HTML paragraph block 91

Thus, after going to live in a new neighbourhood, I dreamed that I entered a shop belonging to a certain firm, and saw there an employé who, in real life, to my knowledge, had previously left another shop belonging to the same firm; an entirely probable combination was thus effected, and the dream conversation that followed was equally natural and probable.
