The Freudian dream
Similarly: by now I needn't comment on the Secret History - the reader can do that, the reader is enough acquainted. Qorchi's dream is the most Freudian possible. It's about Temujin's sex life. It's the secret goings-on of Temujin and Jamuqa, quite circumstantial, and how weird, to find this blatant sexual-symbol dream written down in the 13th century, so that scholars reel away and make snide comments?
I've given the dream as is, utterly literal. And I'm not going to comment. By now, as I say, the reader is familiar with the Secret History and can safely be left to wonder or guess for themselves.
