With this discussion, I dream Basilio Bonfiglio’s clinical narrative and discussion with an additional set of images and metaphors. I enter into his dreaming of considerations and reflections offering an alternative vision for the first glimmer of development, based on a sensitivity to the micro-moment polyrhythms of expression analyst and analysand weave out of experiences of emotional connection and disconnection to self and other. In this way, I dream the function of container as one kind of strategy for interactive emotional regulation. I consider emotional regulation from a vision of development as continuing experiences of first glimmers emerging out of a field of relations throughout the life span and not a developmental achievement marking a shift from primitivity to abstraction.
