Abstract

The author approaches his commentary on these original and interesting articles from the perspective of Bion's psychoanalytic theory. Two of the pillars of Bion's thought were surely the concepts of transformations and waking dream thought which enable the alphabetizing of sensorial stimuli in real time and narrative deconstruction and de-concretization, toward an expansion of the oneiric dimension of the psychoanalytic work. The author's observations are made from within the structure called the analytic field in which the session appears as a dream of minds where the figures that come to life during the session are not treated as historically real characters or internal objects but as characters which express the emotions shared by analyst and patient.
