===Imaginary Mother===
The [[mother]] is manifested in the [[imaginary|imaginary order]] in a number of [[specular image|image]]s. One important [[specular image|image]] that has aleady been mentioned is that of the devouring [[mother]] which is at the root of [[anxiety]]. Another important [[mother|maternal image]] is that of the [[mother|phallic mother]], the [[mother]] imagined as possessing the [[phallus|imaginary phallus]].
===Real Mother===
Lacan’s remarks on the Real Mother are few and far between, but it is a safe bet to assume that the Real Mother is none other than the [[das Ding|Thing]] itself, as the ultimate object of desire. The Real Mother is the one we are once united with, or indeed the One beyond all symbolization itself.
