Charlotte Beradt, who had worked as a journalist in Berlin, fled to England in 1939 and then to New York in 1940. She collected dreams that had occurred between the years of 1933 and 1939 by asking the people surrounding her to retell them: her seamstress, a neighbour, her aunt, the milkman, an entrepreneur friend, a physician… Fifty of those “dreams dictated by dictatorship” were included in The Third Reich of Dreams, her classic work of dream documentation first published in 1966.
