Editorial

TL;DR: The author uses clinical material to demonstrate his conception of a session as a virtual reality in which the central operation is transformation in dreaming, accompanied by the development of this attitude in both patient and analyst as an antidote to the operations of transformation in hallucinosis that bear witness to the failure of the functions of meaning generation.

TL;DR: The author hypothesizes that a sense of truth presents itself to the subject as a quest for truth which has the quality and force of an instinctual drive and constitutes the counterpart to the epistemophilic drive.

TL;DR: Bion seems to conceive of dreaming as an ever‐present invisible filter that overlays much of the authors' mental life, including perception, as well as attention itself, which allows the subject to remain awake by day and asleep by night by its processing of the day’s residue.

TL;DR: The author reflects about the authors' capacity to get in touch with primitive, irrepresentable, seemingly unreachable parts of the Self and with the unrepressed unconscious and suggests that when the patient's dreaming comes to a halt, or encounters a caesura, the analyst dreams that which the patient cannot.
