ABSTRACT
The way of thinking about an interpretation as something insatiable: not everything has to be saturated with meaning; an interpretation must remain open to new scenarios, for what has not been thought yet. Abandon interest in the 'contents' of the story of the patient in favour of an interest in the instruments, the tools for thinking. The chapter considers Wilfred R. Bion's most important conceptualization: his postulation of a dream activity in a waking condition which continually alphabetizes sensory and unthinkable states. In an important remark in the Tavistock Seminars Bion emphasizes how little analysts are prepared to share this notion and to believe in its theoretical-technical consequences of its implications. Each session is a pearl, a bead on a rosary that through all its 'mysteries' leads not to contents, but to the capacity to make the journey, forwards and backwards, as in certain science fiction films, where it is possible to travel in time and space.
