TY - JOUR A1 - Schellekes, Alina T1 - You Are Requested to Close the Eyes JF - Psychoanalytic Dialogues, Vol. 15 (2005), pp. 897-908. N2 - In response to Franco Borgogno's article, the author talks about the dread of falling, a theme that appears in some of the dreams presented in Borgogno's case study and that conceals very primitive anxieties, each resulting from specific object relations constellations. The discussion elaborates the understanding of this dread through various theoretical perspectives as well as through Samuel Beckett's (1946) short story, >The Expelled.<. Y1 - 2005 ER -
