rhetoric
the speech given by sclc president king, who spoke last, became known as the "i have a dream" speech, which was carried live by tv stations and subsequently considered the most impressive moment of the march. in it, king called for an end to racism in the united states. it invoked the declaration of independence, the emancipation proclamation, and the united states constitution. at the end of the speech, mahalia jackson shouted from the crowd, "tell them about the dream, martin!", and king departed from his prepared text for a partly improvised peroration on the theme of "i have a dream". over time it has been hailed as a masterpiece of rhetoric, added to the national recording registry and memorialized by the national park service with an inscription on the spot where king stood to deliver the speech.

in his monograph kraepelin presented 286 examples of dream speech, mainly his own. after 1906 he continued to collect samples of dream speech until his death in 1926. this time the dream speech specimens were almost exclusively his own and the original hand written dream texts are still available today at the archive of the max planck institute of psychiatry in munich. these new dream speech specimens have been published in 1993 in heynick (in part in english translation) and in 2006 in the original german, with numerous valuable notes added. the second dream corpus has not been censored and dates are added to the dreams. as kraepelin in 1906 had been collecting dream speech for more than 20 years, he jotted down his dream speech specimens for more than 40 years, with a scientific viewpoint in mind.
