In this second part of his paper, Fisher continues his stimulating consideration of the relationship between suggestibility, hypnosis, the analytic relationship, suggestion, and dreaming, with particular regard to the 'suggested' or 'experimental' dream. Clinical cases are discussed. The suggestion to dream results in responses both to the content of the suggestion (called the 'content day residue') and to the experience of being given a suggestion. To this latter response (the 'transference day residue'), patients produced dreams expressing wishes for pregnancy and childbirth in pregenital terms. Suggestions are accepted or rejected according to the degree of anxiety or gratification produced by certain incorporative or expulsive fantasies. Dynamics of impulses are the same in analytic patients and in normal subjects in nontherapeutic relationships.
A good bibliography is included.
