What was Jordan reading?


Does anyone know what book or poem Jordan was reading out loud in the film? It was very familiar, I know I have read it before, but I can't place it! It's been driving me nuts.

Okay folks this is driving me nuts. Does anyone else want to know?

reply

This is driving me crazy, too! I'll keep trying to find it and post here if I have any luck.

It's Sigmund Freud from The Interpretation of Dreams.

We saw the book cover a few times in the film, it's Goodnight Moon. Available at your nearest bookstore. You probably heard it as a toddler or child, when your mother was trying to put you to sleep.

Okay, I just watched the scene again. That book is in the film but it is not the book that Jordan was reading from. The quote is: "...and that there was more of it during the night; we can observe, too, how the recollection of a dream, which was still lively in the morning, will melt away, except for a few small fragments..."
