It is worth to note that each type of transformation corresponds to a form of “scanning” (dreaming) of the reality reported by the analysand. For example, in transformations in K the images establish causal relationships between events. Transformation in K thus consists of a rule of periods in space, where the period signifies a particular reference. An example would be a simple information of a kind like the analytic session is at 14:00hs on Monday. In rigid motion transformations there are significant circularities; the past explains the present that explains the past. The reciprocity/circularity of (.)↔ (+) denotes the link between a cause and an effect. The projective transformations are represented by something usually called magic thoughts. The projective transformations/magic thoughts may cause rupture of the working through, because the first idea does not explain the second, but gives it a sense that the meaning was not there before. For example, an affirmative like the crowing of the rooster makes the Sunrise become more beautiful. The sign + (.) ------ carries an image/ sense that there is something hidden (out of language or absence of meaning). In transformations in hallucinosis, the individual, rather than using images according to learning from experience, finds him/herself living under the pressure of his own images. It can happen the same with lies. He/she no longer can decipher the scenes of the image, but he/she lives in a set of scenes without grasping a temporal organization (common sense). Sometimes it may happen like in a bad dream or a nightmare in which images become impossible to decipher. The reason is that he/she cannot change them to an abstract dimension. The presence of such images in the analytic link exemplifies an analysand who feels the analyst’s interpretations as attempts to prove the superiority of analysis over his (analysand’s) logic, which make him feel humiliated. His reaction is to attack back trying to prove that the analyst is doing a wrong job. In order to find a way out of those painful feelings of inferiority the analysand makes a reversal of perspective, which aims at turning the analyst out, leaving him paralyzed. This may cause the well-known feelings of sleepiness or waste of time on part of the analyst. This situation can be interpreted but if the analysand cannot leave behind his/her superiority feelings fueled by hatred, he/she may try to prove that lies are superior and better than searching for truth.
