Notes on the Written Dream. Harold P. Blum. Pp. 67-78.
The symptomatic act of writing a dream is considered from the genetic, structural, dynamic, and adaptive viewpoints. A clinical case is briefly presented to demonstrate that the writing of a dream and the presenting of it to the analyst
can be as 'autobiographical' as the dream itself. Re-enactment of an early learning disturbance, identification with the aggressor, fantasied loss and restitution, and infantile anal sadomasochism were determinants of the written dream.
