ABSTRACT

Gradually, however, I find I am using the word fantasy more in its normal sense, and I have come to compare external reality not so much with fantasy as with an inner reality.

In a way this point that I am making is a quibble, since if there be sufficient respect for ‘fantasy’, conscious and unconscious, then a changeover to the use of the term ‘inner reality’ requires no effort. Yet there may be some for whom, as for me, the change in terminology involves a deepening of belief in inner reality.2
