In many different ways, all of this

In many different ways, all of this expresses his anxiety about hope- lessness and helplessness. It is not worth it to go to the analyst, nor to himself, or even to other people. of course, I believe it isn’t necessary to clarify that in this dream, as in any others, that the names of all the dif- ferent people who appear have any particular meaning. But in this case, we are talking about his own dream—and not that of Roberto or Luisa talking with him. In reality, it is he talking with himself through all these different characters. He congratulates himself for his self-control, or the control over his impulses—which is inadequate. The analysis is in itself unpleasant and dirty, and other treatments, such as self- control, are bad.
