In psychoanalysis, the clinical analysis of dreams can offer the analyst a valuable tool for formulating a diagnostic hypothesis. In this contribution, I propose to explore dreams in relation to the three levels of personality organization: neurotic, borderline, and psychotic. Based on the structural diagnosis developed by Otto Kernberg, I will assess the possibility to identify in dreams the seven key dimensions for structural personality diagnosis, which include: identity, object relations, reality testing, defenses, aggression, coping, and moral values o which the author of this paper adds two dimensions: affective tonality and symbolisation/metaphorisation
