Träume: Ich spiele eine Nebenrolle ― etwa den Doctor Relling im 5. Akt der Wildente, zu Ehren Sauers;― kenne weder Stück, noch Rolle ― sehe anders aus, rede irgend was daher ― Sauer etwa wie Bassermann aussehend ― Provinzbühne ― halbdunkler Zuschauerraum ― (gestern Abend das Theater in „Segelfoss“!) ―; ein Bad ― links für Frauen, rechts für Herren ― Mitte eine Art Kurhaus weiß kuppelhaft, trennend, ich stehe nackt da, eine Frau von drüben, ihr Mann douchend sieht herüber, die Thore des Mittelhauses öffnen sich symmetrisch, so daß ich zuerst verborgen bin, dann aber wieder sichtbar werde;― ich liege in Heidekraut, spreche mit einem Herrn, Vollbart, (Holmengraa in Segelfoss) ― Weltanschauungssachen ― er irgendwie stoisch-norddeutsch-holsteinisch;― ich der Gegenpart (weiß mich keines Worts zu erinnern; die Heidekrautlandschaft hat Bezug auf die Philosophie des andern).―
