The Wolf Man’s dream described by Sigmund Freud in 1918 brings to light the contradiction between Freud’s claims about child dreams and the laborious interpretation of this dream. Otto Rank’s (1926) thesis that the dream analyzed by Freud was not a child dream but was dreamed during the analysis is reevaluated. Referring to Christmas traditions and culture of the Tsarist Russia, the likely day residues of that dream are reconstructed.
Keywords: Wolf Man, child dream, interpretation of dreams, Russian folklore, Osip Mandel’tam
