The relationship between psyche and soma is rather like the relationship between the dream and the waking state. The dream work proceeds by means of condensation and amplification whereas the waking work proceeds by separating and connecting. The difference is a third dimension. What my dreamscape lacks is a space of time. Psyche is not real; it as soma that psyche is realized.

That third dimension, that "value- added", introduces depth perception, a vertical relationship. The "Fall", as it turns out, is simultaneously the "Assent". The analytic is a raising of the dead. The dreamscape is superficial, two-dimensional; it covers the soma like a shroud. The shroud cannot be removed from the body anymore than the surface can be removed from the sphere. The shroud cannot be left hanging on a hook while the analyst does his thing. To ignore psyche is to distort the body of experience.
