volar vs. auto-erotic

I discussed my last post with a friend who was confused between the auto-erotic and the volar in the example.

One patient got over his mania and we began to construct his volar ego ideal. His fantasy was living in city near the ocean in which everyone wore bright colors and had tattoos. Everyone was "real" and never wasted time in chit chat but were just "themselves" all the time in all their uniqueness. 

 It is true that this might be a confluence between the auto-erotic ego ideal and the volar because it involves both the environment/Space and that everyone there is the same and there's no hierarchy at all.

In the auto-erotic there is a representation of Otherness in the sense of other material bodies exist in Space.

There should be a fantasy there, like in Hobbes, of the war of all against all.

There's also Tim Burton like worlds where everyone is in harmony with their environment (the gloomy, decrepit environment is matched with the people). In post-apocalyptic scenarios the destruction of the environment is often mirrored in the punk styles of the people as well.

However, in my patient's fantasy the two tiers of the pure ones and those outside of the city existed. They were like the greek gods in Olympus, away from the boring of fake people. I never asked about the interaction with the ocean but it is possible that there was a lot more interplay between the environment and all the people.
