The Language of the Sleeping Ego - 2017.


74

Approving of the idea that the primary language of dreaming in images is that of the unconscious ego, and that two orders of “language” constantly coexist in the human mind, does not imply, however, that this primary language should be consi¬dered as an idiosyncratic formation that is not created out of interactions with the primary object, as is the case with the preconscious verbal register. A clinical vignette helps to show the subjectivizing rearticulation of an ego lacking integration of its primary facts of symbolization.
