Träume: Bin in einer Art Ballsaal;― gegen Schluss des Balles ― was vorher war, unklar ― in einem Fenster (etwa wie zur Eschenbachg. hinab ― frühere Burgringwohnung ― wie immer öfter in der letzten Zeit ―) ― Alma ―; wir hatten uns den ganzen Abend ― absichtlich nicht umeinander gekümmert;― ich muss doch jetzt hin, sie kühl ― reservirt, wie ich aber ihre Hand, ihren Arm zärtlich küsse, wird auch sie fast zärtlich, streichelt meine Lider, was aber hypnotisirend auf mich wirkt ― ich bin etwas verstimmt darüber,― lasse es nochmals versuchen ― ― und öffne nur mit allergrößter Mühe die Augen ― nun aber wirklich;― es ist mir zugleich als stünde wer an meinem Bett und warte mein Erwachen ab ―; die Schlafzimmerlampe brennt noch;― ich war während des Lesens eingeschlafen.
