Hey all,

After a long pause (2 years) I've decided to pick up dreaming again.

Now I haven't exactly stood still concerning dreaming these years and among other books I've read Freud's interpretation of dreams. He tries to clarify and explain a large number of dreams but there is one dream he only half clarifies: the rescue dream. In short he only explains it for women (it's the desire to give birth, to have a child) but leaves men (and I happen to be one of them) out of it.

Do we have anyone in house who knows his way around psychology, and/or German?

Freud only leaves a note where we can find more information about rescue dreams but I have been unable to find anything.

The note:
Zie Beitrage zur Psychologie des liebeslebens “Über einen besonderen Typus der objektwahl beim Manne. (265). 1910
Rank, Beilege zur Rettungsphantasie 1915
Reik, Zur Rettungssymbolic.[/b]
Googling only finds online versions of Freud's book. I'm interested in personal views on rescue dreams but above all I'm interested in what Freud's opinion is.

What does he think of male rescue dreams?
Why can't he explain it in his book and does he feel the need to give three notes to it.

Somewhere I've found a reference that rescue dreams (in general, female and male) mean that the person as a child had to care for himself and thus in dreams does exactly that: caring for others because nobody else can.

I'm just very curious
