Just for fun and because it doesn’t happen a lot, here is a video of the 4 minute stamp changing to 5 minutes (4m ago to 5m ago) on their first two retweets. Not even a second, if that. Also I couldn’t add it to my original timing post.

He was angry with himself for being young and prey of restless foolish impulses, angry also with the change of fortune which was reshaping the world about him into a vision of squalor and insincerity.

In fact, the dream is expressive of a deep contradiction in Freud’s total personality and his lifework. The main subject matter of his interest and his studies is love and sex. But he is a puritan; if anything, we notice in him a Victorian aversion against sex and pleasure combined with a sad tolerance for man’s weakness in this respect. He has dried the flower, made sex and love the object of scientific inspection and speculation rather than leave it alive. The dream is expressive of the great paradox in Freud: he is not at all—as he has often been misinterpreted—the representative of the ‘sensuous-frivolous, immoral Viennese atmosphere’ but, on the contrary, a puritan who could write so freely about sex and love because he had put them in a herbarium.
