Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Saturday, 2 July 1921
Another good night, very gorgeous sexual dreams.
Idea for story. Youth—sexual dreams—peculiar gesture. Breaks Brahmacarya—disgusted—prefers dream sexual life—remains chaste. Gesture becomes more marked—distressing—he is ridiculous. Friend advises psychanalysis. Gesture cured—dreams caused by some complex disappear too. He commits suicide in despair.
1.50 P.M. I have had a superb swim and a nice tiffin. It is a very hot day.
Heard from Scott, Sirerra Leone. Symbol: [I Ching Hexagram] Earth of Luna IV Mang. A struggling beginner—nourish him! At night the 169 Adorations, etc.
