A day to celebrate psychophysics!!!
*crickets chirping*
We celebrated Fechner Day in my Perception class today. I spend
a fair amount of time on psychophysics and my students know the
story of the dream well.
Speaking of the dream, I have tried to find the original description on
several occasions without luck. Does anyone know? I have started
having fears of another Freudian iceberg.
A few points about Fechner Day, history of psychology, and the
influence of Fechner on Frued:
(1) Take a look at:
Meischner-Metge, A. (2010). Gustav Theodor Fechner: Life and
work in the mirror of his diary. History Of Psychology, 13(4), 411-423.

A loud shout out to Mike P for locating this article. It is very
illuminating.
