The clinical case of a difficult female patient shows the example of a countertransference dream. When the analytic scene is saturated with concrete unsymbolized elements that the patient manifests, these may influence the analyst by driving him or her to produce images before words. The analyst may dream the patient's dream by translating into images experiences that have their origin in early traumas or traumas that exceeded the patient's capacity to contain, elaborate and thus repress them. The author discusses the complex nature of this phenomenon which could serve as a stimulus for the transformation of the analytic relationship.
