In clinical psychology two kinds of reality are supposed, one is the external reality, which is an objective world shared with others, and the other is the psychic or internal reality, which is his/her own subjective world. A sense of reality can be thought to be much influenced with the relationship between those realities. This report examined the healty and desirable way of sense of reality in the view point of the relationship between external reality and internal reality, through studying the novel 'Shimanto Rever'. By applying theories of analytical psychology and psychoanalysis, the author described the action of Atuyoshi, who is a leading character in that novel, as products of interaction between his inner needs and outer world. In the view point of analytical psychology, Atuyoshi's action was regarded as a part of his individuation process, and meaningful coincidence of outer world and inner world was found out. In the light of Kleinian's psychoanalytic theory, it was thought that his action was motivated by his inner phantasy that his injured inner object need to be restored. From the viewpoint of Winnicott's and other Independents' psychoanalytic theories, Atuyoshi's action was considered to be the dramatization of his inner phantasy, and the trial of exploring a new way of living. As a result, the vivid and imaginative sense of reality, which is regarded as a helthy and desirable sense of reality in clinical psychology, was thought to be occurred from the mutually indispensable and dependable relation between the external reality and the internal reality.
