ABSTRACT

This chapter does not contain innovative ideas but aims to try and enable the reader to encounter the miracle we find in Calvino’s book If on a Winter’s Night a Traveller: that is, a powerful recreation of what happens in the construction of the analytic field, where many readers contribute to the reading of many different chapters. In other words, I would like to highlight the missing parts of the chapter and its paragraphs so that everyone can fill them in with their own thoughts, questions, doubts as they occur while reading: or so that we can take a step forward from what was read in the previous chapter. For example, is there any sense in the distinction between easy and difficult dreams? Or could this be a trap? And so on, in the hope that, once the chapter has been read, both the way of perceiving the text and the reader himself may have changed.
