My mind can wander when working psychoanalytically, with random thoughts, memories and desires. I think of what happened yesterday, of what to cook for supper, or of a bodily ache.
However, these very personal meanderings occur in the context of a particular patient and hour, they arise within an analytic space. This is #Ogden's Analytic Third, a co-creation of my internal world and my patient's projective identification. They are analytic objects which may carry useful meaning.
