N2 - Paul Lippmann continues exploring the strengths and weaknesses of Fromm's work and directs our attention to Fromm's contribution to the under-standing of dreams. As Lippmann observes, at times >the adventure down the royal road had become a lockstep for the faithful on a narrow and rigid path<. Fromm reawakened an interest in exploring the richness and insight potential of dreams by focusing on the experi-ential approach to dream interpretation. To his credit, Fromm seriously engaged Jung's fundamental contribution. Although Fromm steered away from the stereo-type of fixed universal archetypes, he agreed that dreams could give expression to the very best in us. He tried to reconcile Jung's contribution of the dream's expres-sion of intellectual and spiritual insight with Freud's emphasis on the irrational mo-tives expressed in dreams. The result was a more complex, balanced, and clinically useful approach to dreams that anticipated many creative efforts to expand our un-derstanding of these mysterious nighttime visions. Yet, as Lippmann observes, dreams have the Rorschach-like capacity to elicit in would-be interpreters the re-flection of their own interests and motivations, and are influenced by the analyst's theories. Fromm's dream interpretations were often the expression of his own be-liefs, the voice of humanistic conscience, the expression of an irrational mother fixa-tion, or the rebellion against the dehumanizing effect of modern society. In short, he introduced his own creed to dream interpretation.

N2 - This article is an attempt to begin to weave together Freud’s work – on dreams here envisioned as the original model for virtual reality – and from Fromm’s work – on the impact of the market on personality. The contributions of these two psychoanalysts provide a necessary dual foundation for an understanding of emerging aspects of human psychology that are evolving, at the beginning of the 21st Century, alongside the profound influence of the electronically driven global market. It is time for psychoanalysis to engage more fully in the study of cultural forces. While it is easy to disregard dreams, both in the general culture and of late in psychoanalysis itself, dreams and their interpretation have always been central in human living, in the development of religion and in the birth of psychoanalysis as our own secular religion. Dreams, in their disembodiment and in their fluidity of information transformations have served as one model for developments within cyber culture and virtual living. The destruction of nature is seen as an underlying theme in the development of compatible relativist-subjectivist philosophies and in the growth of cyberculture. Thus, Freud’s insights into dreams and Fromm’s into the marketing personality are both crucial to an understanding of major contemporary forces. N2 - >Träume, Psychoanalyse und die entstehende Ökonomie elektronischer Kultur<: Dieser Aufsatz versucht Freud’s Werk über Träume – gesehen als Ursprungsmodell einer virtuellen Realität – und Fromm’s Auffassungen – über den Einfluss des Markts auf die Persönlichkeit – zusammen zu binden. Die Beiträge dieser beiden Psychoanalytiker resultieren in einer notwendigerweise doppelten Begründung, um einige neure Aspekte der Psychologie zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts zu verstehen, die sich mit dem tiefen Einfluss der Elektronik auf dem weltweiten Markt verbinden. Für die Psychoanalyse wird es Zeit, sich verstärkt um das Studium kultureller Kräfte zu bemühen. Leicht kann man Träume ignorieren, in der allgemeinen Kultur und schließlich sogar in der Psychoanalyse, obwohl Träume und ihre Deutung im menschlichen Leben immer zentral waren, in der Entwicklung der Religion und bei der Geburt der Psychoanalyse als unsere säkulare Religion. Träume, in ihrer Entkörperung und fluiden Beweglichkeit von Informations- Umwandlungen dienten als Modell für die Entwicklung in der Cyber-Kultur und im virtuellen Leben. Die Zerstörung der Natur wird als ein zugrunde liegendes Thema gesehen beim Entstehen relativistisch-sub-jektivistischer Philosophien und dem Wachstum der Cyber- Kultur. Deshalb sind Einsichten Freuds in die Träume und Fromms Einsichten in die vermarktete Persönlichkeit entscheidend für ein Verständnis der zeitgenössischen Umwälzungskräfte. N2 - >Sueños, Psicoanálisis y la emergente económica electrónica cultural<: Este artículo es un intento de entretejer el trabajo de Freud sobre los sueños – conceptualizados aquí como el modelo original para la realidad virtual – y el trabajo de Fromm sobre el impacto del mercado sobre la personalidad. La contribución de estos dos psicoanalistas constituyen una base necesaria para la comprensión de los aspectos emergentes de psicología humana que envolva los comienzos del siglo XXI, al lado de la gran influencia del mercado electrónico global: tiempo para enlazar más de lleno el psicoanálisis con las fuerzas culturales. Entre tanto sería fácil desatender los sueños, tanto en la cultura general como en el psicoanálisis más tarde, los sueños y sus interpretaciones han sido centrales en la vida del ser humano, en el desarrollo de la religión, en el nacimiento del psicoanálisis como nuestra religión secular. Los sueños en su separación alma del cuerpo, han servido como modelos de desarrollos desde la ciber cultura. As los insights de Freud sobre los sueños y los de Fromm en la personalidad mercantil resultan cruciales para una mejor comprensión de las fuerzas contemporáneas.

N2 - The richness and creativity of early classical work with dreams became narrowed through doctrinaire obedience to Freud's brilliant hypotheses. Interpersonal psychoanalysis, though originally little interested in problems of mind and private mentation, may be well suited, in part due to its lack of a comprehensive dream theory, to a clinical approach to dreams that is relatively open-minded, pluralistic, complexly layered, collaborative, and playful. Multiple possibilities for the meanings of dreams and multiple ways of approaching dreams in analytic therapy are suggested. Although many therapists for complex reasons shy away from working on dreams, an interpersonal approach recognizes that several wishes of both patient and analyst may be significantly fulfilled in the pleasures of working together on dreams. If it is mindful of what is unfortunately a growing tendency to project into all dreams a single-minded preoccupation with transference and countertransference, and if it respects the world of dream imagery in its own right, interpersonal psychoanalysis can make a genuine contribution to our understanding of dreams and dreams can lend an important dimension to interpersonal concepts. Several clinical examples are presented in an effort to highlight an approach that >stays with the image< and allows the dream images to make their way into the psychoanalytic dialogue.
