The author looks at how the confrontation with death anxiety has enriched her posture as a Gestalt therapist. She gives renewed attention to the continuum of consciousness, a precious process to go through the anguish, reconcile the paradoxes and give meaning to this ordeal. Dreams can also bear direct witness to finitude and question us: is it a source of anguish or a challenge to become more alive? Meditating on the existential constraint of finitude is an invitation to question our perception of time, to reverse the perspective for a new impulse towards life.
