title: The written dream: action, resistance and revelation.
abstract: There is a large body of literature that focuses on acting out, but there is little literature on a clear action in analysis, the written dream. The literature that does exist describes and determinants primarily. This paper, with a clinical vignette at its center, calls attention to primal scene fantasies and wishes as one major impetus to the presentation of a written dream. The central theoretical point is to link Lewin's idea of analysis as a dream with the written dream as an action which invites the analyst into the dream.
