ABSTRACT

The dream and the hallucination continue to be seen as reliable conduits to the patient’s unconscious experience by analysts who allow themselves to enter spaces of psychic regression in parallel to their patient’s process. Dreaming and hallucinosis lead to earlier forms of thinking and perceiving encountered by the analyst who is dreaming in the session alongside his patient or hallucinating a piece of his patient’s unrepresented inner world while he himself is in a regressed state.
