ABSTRACT
In dreaming, aspects of reality are incorporated into the dream; in delusion, aspects of one’s past, and of fantasy, are incorporated into the reality. Although it is a mistake to believe that R.D. Laing thought the sane to be mad and the mad sane, Laing did try to show that insanity was at least intelligible and hence that schizophrenia sufferers are kith and kin with the rest of humanity and not a categorically different group of people.
