Instead of keeping the light of Dasein tightly focused, we should let it shine more freely. While Binswanger likes to use Heidegger's Umwelt, Mitwelt, and Eigenwelt, Boss prefers Heidegger's existentials , the things in life that we all have to deal with. Someone from long ago, who now lives far away, may be closer to you than the person next to you right now. He is also interested in how we relate to our bodies. Our relationship with others is as important to Boss as it is to Binswanger.
Human existence is shared existence.
It's no different from how we try to set a certain mood by lighting a room one way rather than another. Dreams Boss has studied dreams more than any other existentialist, and considers them important in therapy. But instead of interpreting them as Freudians or Jungians do, he allows them to reveal their own meanings. Everything is not hiding behind a symbol, hiding from the always-present censor. For example, Boss discusses a man who was having sexual difficulties and feeling quite depressed.
