Excerpt from The Psychology of Day-Dreams
This essay has been written in English by a foreigner, who thus, from the start, forgoes any literary claims. If in doing so he has relinquished an important advantage, it was not without the hope that the novelty of what he wished to communicate - a contribution to the mechanism of thinking - would to a certain degree make up for his linguistic shortcomings and dispose the reader to regard with indulgence the exotic form which he has given to his ideas.
His only apology for addressing himself to English readers lies in the circumstance that he has been tempted to reach them directly, as being, at present, of all nations, those who show the greatest interest in psycho-analysis.
His knowledge of the English soul will not leave him in the lurch when he foresees that the eccentricity of the thought-formations which he has been obliged to adduce as the foundation-stones of his theory will make an unpleasant impression on some of his readers; but from the nature of his work this is an unavoidable evil, as everybody's secret thoughts concern exclusively the self. Therefore he pleads indulgence on the reader's part, and this will be the more readily granted, he hopes, as in the theoretical part his personality disappears almost entirely into the background.
