It is undeniable in clinical experience that the fate of Oedipus echoes in each patient, for the recognition of his criminal desires: parricide and incest. This article makes a return to the Oedipus complex from Freud's analysis of a dream he had at the age of seven or eight, in which he recognized in himself the same forbidden desires that marked Oedipus's fate in Sophocles' tragedy.
