Early dream research Dream research

Ellis devoted part of a chapter to the “apparent rapidity” of dreams and the odd sense of time in them, arguing that a dream often feels long because it is remembered like a described picture.

Havelock Ellis, The World of Dreams (1911), ch. IX

Nineteenth-century case Dream research

Alfred Maury reported dreaming a long drama of the French Revolution ending at the guillotine, and waking as the bed’s headboard fell on his neck. Freud and others debated how so much could fit into a moment.

Alfred Maury, Le Sommeil et les rêves (1861); discussed in Freud (1900), ch. I
