The author presents some beginning thoughts on the relationship between identity and dreams. He proposes that the newborn finds an identity in part by inventing “a double, an authentic twin” (p. 138). The author emphasizes that this is a “non-libidinal cathexis” (p. 138). Identity is then partially maintained through non-libidinal dreams. These “identity” or “actual” dreams also keepsake deep memory, a necessary part of identity, without which “oblivion ensues” (p. 142). The author provides clinical examples to illustrate his ideas.
