This text examines the many qualities that psychic reality possesses and shares with the unconscious: first, its timelessness, of which Freud provides a remarkable example by demonstrating how, over the years, constraint is exerted in his transference to Romain Rolland; then a clinical example based on the signifier “wall” demonstrates the manifestations of the expression of psychic reality in its accomplished mode and the hallucinatory force it exerts on the analysand's psychic life. The analyst is at the crossroads of two psychic realities, that of the patient and their own. He or she must “guess” by means of inductive reasoning what drives these transference movements. All these phenomena contribute to the moment of creation that prompts the analyst to interpret and sometimes to write. Psychic reality is omnipresent, manifesting itself insistently and repetitively, challenging and prompting us to question the familiar sense of uncanniness it evokes: “Psychic reality: what do you want from me?”
