In what have been called his two "topographies" (the first dating from 1900 and the second from 1923), [[Freud]] resorted to [[schema]]s to represent the various parts of the [[psychic apparatus]] and their interrelations.
These schemas implicitly posited an equivalence between [[psychic space]] and [[Euclidean space]].
[[Freud]] used spatial metaphors to describe the psyche in ''[[The Interpretation of Dreams]]'', where he cites G. T. Fechner's idea that the scene of action of dreams is different from that of waking ideational life and proposes the concept of 'psychical locality'.
