Janet writes : The antimimon pneuma was a concept unfamiliar to me, until the phenomenon was introduced via the vivid dreams of my training patient. Two of these dreams allude to an evil counterfeit spirit, and its counterpart the divine pneuma. I will share selected aspects of a two-year analysis with my training patient, who continues in analysis up to the present.  I will describe how the gruelling fearful journey of her internal battle between these powerful opposites manifested as a grave debilitating lung condition, which she fought bravely.
