Heute u. a.: einen Berg hinan (mit Heini?), Rucksack, an einem Bad vorbei, finde es schmutzig (D.: gestern im Concert Steiner zu mir von dem Schmutz auf der Rax im Ottohaus),― dann mit O. ― vor unserm Haus;― sieht (ohne daß es mich wundert) alles ganz anders aus ― Ziegelmauern, die einen großen Park umgeben, ich läute, niemand kommt, aergerlich; O. sagt: [Man] kommt schon; ich sehe im Park die Hausmeisterin (wie unsre Köchin aussehend) ― die sich bereit macht;― merke nun (oder erst im Erwachen?) daß es die Ziegelmauer ― des Döblinger Friedhofs ist (der Traum endet jedenfalls vor dem Eintritt!)
