Counterdreamers: Analysts Reading Themselves (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781912567218)

Counterdreaming' is Donald Meltzer's term for the psychoanalytic reverie that arises from the countertransference during the session, in response to the analysand's own dreams and phantasies. He writes: 'It is difficult to explain the technique of counterdreaming... I compare it with waiting in the dark for the deer, grazing at night, seen by their flashing white tails.' This nocturnal vigilance is on the alert for movement of the quarry, part object minimal movements which with patience can be seen to form a pattern of incipient meaning cast before.
