The Report of an Operation—of Sorts
Preface to the First Dream Edition
The post of dreamer surgeon
is one of an esteemed and mysterious service.
Stridulous Dreams
Convenience scholars tell readers that the phrase here, loss of voice, refers to an inability to express one’s own thoughts, opinions, and imaginings (inability for whatever reason and however expressed).
Stridulous dreams are harsh and grating.
The writer is emphasizing the idea that this loss and these dreaming experiences affect different people differently.

From Family Dreams
1890—From Family Dreams of Independent Sources
If an idea is the ancestor of the origin and use of the word family,
we must, it seems to me, account for the ancestor of the term called accident.
Our knowledge is at present limited, however,
it seems these two experiences may depart widely from a plan.
Mutual relationship must be regarded as a puzzle of life.
