Alexandra Chronaki: Floating and Sinking. In which way do these two notions appear in psychoanalysis? Do they refer to psychopathology or to the process of psychoanalysis as well?
Nikos Sideris: Floating and sinking are subjective experiences corresponding to vestibular sensations, illusions or hallucinations. They may typically occur in conditions of hypnosis, hypnagogic states (when falling asleep), relaxation and yoga exercises, meditation, drug-induced states or psychopathology of organic (febrile, toxic …) or functional origin.
