In psychoanalysis any reverie (potentially) opens space for one to be in touch with the first stage of the unconscious thought - when the sequences of alpha elements are synthesized by the alpha function - where narrative derivation from dreamy awakened thoughts come from. Reverie, in other words, is the possibility for the analyst to be in touch with the pictograms that come alive during the analysis and constantly define the patient's position as well as the analyst's, besides the emotional level they have created, as a gps works. Reveries are not only images and ideas, but also sensations, feelings, and actions. This article focuses on this last type of reverie - which we can call "somatic" or, as action painting in art, "action reverie" - and it includes some clinical illustrations. It is important to see such illustrations as embedded in the field, that is, as if they were in the third unconscious (which starts when two people are close enough to each other). Considering that patient and analyst are constantly communicating, consciously and unconsciously, there is no event from the analytical field that may not be seen as both people's co-creation.
