title: [Dreams and the dead].
abstract: In this article, the author examines the issue of dreams and the dead as an essential tool for transcultural psychotherapy and how the dreamlike vision of the dead and its interpretation constitute a turning point in transcultural therapy. Drawing from a clinical example, the author illustrates how the spatial analogy between dreams and the world of the dead has allowed a patient to reconstruct a psychological space severely disturbed by trauma endured.
