Joe Googbread: The dreambody toolkit

Each feature of a given process has an identity and a mode of communication. In addition, there is a specific orientation of the person toward his various process features, or aspects, as I prefer to call them. That orientation is his degree of contact and identification with that process feature. Those features with which he has little contact and with which he cannot identify himself are those which we designate as secondary. Those features which are more or less familiar to him and with which he identifies himself we term primary.

As we saw, process structure itself has several different aspects, depending on the scale of observation.

A given process structure viewed over a short length of time will produce aspects which look like rapidly changing signals. This means that we will need communications theory to describe and identify short-term process aspects.

In the middle range, process structures appear in the form of figures with identities which remain constant for long periods of time. The process then expresses itself in aspects which appear as dream figures, or complexes.

In the longest range of observation, the same structures appear as mythological motifs, or manifestations of archetypal patterns. What fixes the process aspect in these forms is the perception of the client and the therapist. In general, those process aspects which the client perceives to be his own will be primary process aspects. Those aspects which are perceived by the therapist as belonging to the client will belong to the client’s secondary process.
