Oberon contra Titania. Chapter V. The Mechanism Of Dreams. AFTER having analyzed the dream given in the second chapter and shown how an apparently meaningless jumble can be reduced to law and order, we are now prepared to discuss the various dream mechanisms of which hints have already been given.
In a psychoanalysis we find that the dream thoughts have undergone a series of different distortions, to disguise the dream for the purpose of protecting the sleeper. These different distortions by means of which the manifest dream-content is formed from the underlying dream thoughts, are known as dream mechanisms. A dream-analysis, as shown in the previous chapter, gives us a method of penetration and a deep insight into the unconscious mental life. The dream work is a kind of shorthand, a chemical formula, by means of which the dream material is compressed or condensed. The formation of the dream from the latent dream thoughts is due to several mechanisms, each of which will be discussed in turn. 1. 2.

Lindemans The original fairies, or faeries, bestowed gifts upon newborn children, such as beauty, wealth and kindness. In the subsequent centuries they continued this original function, but expanded their activities into other types of meddling in human affairs. Fairies can only be seen clearly by animals and seldom by humans, although if one is fortunate enough, one might catch a fleeting glimpse. There are a few exceptions however. The rulers of the race of fairies are Queen Titania and her consort Prince Oberon, their court being in the vicinity of Stratford-on-Avon. Elf. By Micha F.
Lindemans In mainly Teutonic and Norse folklore, the elves were originally the spirits of the dead who brought fertility. Later they became supernatural beings, shaped as humans, who are either very beautiful (elves of light) or extremely ugly (dark / black elves). They were worshipped in trees, mountains and waterfalls. The Danish elves are beautiful creatures, but they have hollow backs. MND-circles.jpg (1071×911) Felix Mendelssohn. El Sueño Noche de Verano.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Plot Overview. Theseus, duke of Athens, is preparing for his marriage to Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons, with a four-day festival of pomp and entertainment.
He commissions his Master of the Revels, Philostrate, to find suitable amusements for the occasion. Egeus, an Athenian nobleman, marches into Theseus’s court with his daughter, Hermia, and two young men, Demetrius and Lysander. Egeus wishes Hermia to marry Demetrius (who loves Hermia), but Hermia is in love with Lysander and refuses to comply.
Egeus asks for the full penalty of law to fall on Hermia’s head if she flouts her father’s will. Theseus gives Hermia until his wedding to consider her options, warning her that disobeying her father’s wishes could result in her being sent to a convent or even executed. In these same woods are two very different groups of characters. When Titania wakes, the first creature she sees is Bottom, the most ridiculous of the Athenian craftsmen, whose head Puck has mockingly transformed into that of an ass.
