After a review of some of the clinical literature on sleep during the analytic hour, the author presents the case of a patient who had a number of sleep episodes during analytic sessions. She demonstrates the complexity in the various aspects of the structure of this symptom in relation to the transference and genetic factors. These include confusion and admixture of feelings of anger, fear, and sexual excitement, as well as defensive and wishful elements.
