In Wilhelm Jensens 1903 novel Gravida, an archaeologist becomes obsessed with a woman depicted in an ancient bas-reliefwho he then pursues in his dreams. Freuds reading of the novel finds parallels and similarities to his own conception of the psychology of dreams, and sees in Jensens hero unresolved feelings for a childhood playmate. This volume prints Jensens novel in full, followed by Freuds profound, book-length essay.
