title: Dimensions of a single word-association in the analyst's reverie.
abstract: The reverie, an apparently random series of events occurring in the analyst's consciousness when his attention is evenly suspended, is examined through the expansion of one of its elements, a single word-association. When this expansion is compared with other data in the analysis, the reverie appears to be both continuous and self similar.
