"Oh, I've often wanted to be invisible, for then I could do what I liked; then I would be free."
Being invisible therefore meant being free.
Then I asked her associations to the tail part.
"Tail . . . monkeys at the Zoo; they are poor things always kept behind bars. Just like me. I forgot to say that my tail wasn't on in the dream."
Tail therefore meant something associated with confinement and restriction. It is significant that her tail was unattached. I took it to mean a wish-fulfilment dream; in it she got free from her neurosis.
The following night she dreamt that she was being driven in a motor car by a swanky chauffeur. They came to the bottom of a hill, and the car stopped, and she got out and walked. Her first association was: "The chauffeur had a big green coat on, one just like the coat you wear."
"So I was the chauffeur?" I asked.
She brightened at once.
"I see it!" she cried. "The car is the analysis; you are driving me away from my old life!"
"Excellent!" I said, "but don't forget that the car stopped at the bottom of the hill. What does the word hill give you?"
