This study examines the manifestations of time and timelessness in psychoanalysis. The concept of time develops alongside the construction of the self in early interaction and is closely tied to the bodily self. Strong emotions, resistance, different transference and countertransference phenomena, and the fear of death have been considered to underlie the disturbances in one's perception of time. In this paper, it is proposed that a specific variation of the sense of time, which will be referred to as time aberration, can be identified in psychoanalysis. This experience is related to grasping unconscious phenomena, which facilitates the continuity and directing of new kinds of psychic energy flows. Time aberration can be compared to so called developmental illusions and provides information about the potential for change in the psychic structure. Identifying and correctly taking into account this developmental phenomenon may promote psychoanalysis. The aim of psychoanalysis involves elimination of developmental inhibitions, and the resulting freedom may maximize the ability to become ones's own, also in the area of time perception. Paying attention to variations in time perception may help patients perceive and utilise these significant “moments of meeting” that may be part of freeing their inner world.
