A patient dreamed of white clouds and knew that a sputnik was behind them. The author feels that this is an example of a blank dream, in Lewin's sense, with the clouds as dream screen. Analysis showed that the dream gratified the wish for the breast and also acted as a defense against the penis of the
castrating sputnik father. The case illustrates that there can be something 'behind' the dream screen, and that the screen can be used as a protection.
