In the dichotomy between the individual and society, psychoanalysis has traditionally oriented dream interpretation towards the former. The psychoanalytic interpretation of dreams has been a cornerstone of theory and clinical practice in psychoanalysis, thus establishing the foundations for understanding unconscious processes. Freud, however, revisited his theory of dreams several times, particularly when he introduced the concept of the death drive through the analysis of traumatic dreams.</div></div><div><h3>Objectives</h3><div>This article is situated within the perspective of psychoanalytic theory and examines pandemic dreams within the framework of the Brazilian project <em>Inventário de Sonhos</em> <em>[Inventory of dreams</em>]. It aims to explore their function as witnesses to collective experiences in order to understand how social, historical, and political processes have influenced the psychic life of dreamers in Brazil.</div></div><div><h3>Method</h3><div>The article begins with a presentation of the epistemological framework for dream interpretation, highlighting how sciences have directed dream narratives towards the individual, thereby detaching them from the underlying social processes. It then describes how psychoanalytic interpretation fits into this tradition while acknowledging Freud's revisions to his theory throughout his life. Finally, through the analysis of five pandemic dreams from the <em>Inventário de Sonhos</em> project, this article offers a psychoanalytic interpretation that recognizes the intertwining of individual narratives with collective histories of societies, thus recontextualizing dreams within their cultural and historical context.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The pandemic has been a significant event in everyone's life. Psychoanalytic theory supports that dream interpretation should focus on individual psychic processes. The analyses of pandemic dreams presented in this article demonstrate that it is impossible to ignore the social and cultural context in which these dreams emerged, transforming them into true sensors and seismographs of history.</div></div><div><h3>Interpretations</h3><div>This work aims to advance the state-of-the-art in psychoanalytic interpretations of dreams. While recognizing that dreams are narratives constructed by dreamers about their unconscious life, we open a debate on whether some narratives may be intimately linked to the historical and social experiences lived by dreamers, thus allowing them to testify through their dreams about what they have uniquely experienced.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"9 1","pages":"Article 100513"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143815966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on this theoretical perspective, we implemented a device called “Group Dreaming” with elderly participants. To overcome the resistances encountered, we progressively supported an operative group (a device inspired by Pichon-Rivière), centered on the following task: “Reflecting on how dreams can help us understand both the inner world and the outer world.” This group took place in a residential care facility for dependent elderly persons over five weekly sessions.</div></div><div><h3>Method</h3><div>The analysis method used is qualitative and is based on the “construction of cases” as proposed by Pierre Fédida. This construction follows four steps: the enigma that arises in the analyst's mind, clinical work, supervision, and the production of metapsychology. In this case, the enigma includes the questions that guided the research: “Is it possible to dream knowing that we have little time left to live?”.</div></div><div><h3>Objective</h3><div>The aim of this article is to gain a better understanding of the status of dreams and the ability to dream in elderly individuals. However, this study is part of a broader project aimed at re-examining the role of dreams within psychoanalytic theory, as well as in group and contemporary social clinics.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Consistent with our previous clinical experiences and René Kaës work, our clinical observations confirm the dual status of subjects, who are always both group subjects and singular subjects. In particular, the data collected reveals that at the end of life, the ability to dream can be reinforced by shifting the act of dreaming for oneself toward an altruistic act: dreaming for another, dreaming for others.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Ultimately, the group, composed of elderly individuals and dedicated to exploring dreams as a means of understanding both the inner and outer worlds, allowed us to consider that sharing dreams provided a psychic outlet for death anxiety, fostering the desire to transmit one's lived experiences to future generations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"9 1","pages":"Article 100512"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143815965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each school has its own, or relies on an ad hoc reading of the Traumdeutung, or refuses entirely to justify itself on these grounds. To such an extent that the dream has ceased to be the via regia to the unconscious, but more often a place to apply metapsychological formulae drawn from elsewhere (child psychoanalysis, psychoses, etc.).</div></div><div><h3>Objective</h3><div>This essay aims, on the contrary, to weave together at least one red thread in the historical development of psychoanalysis, up to its so-called ‘contemporary’ form (Winnicotto-Bionian), by exploring, as a working hypothesis, a sequence of key episodes in this development. It passes through Ferenczi, M. Klein, E. Sharpe, Meltzer, Lacan and Bion. It ends with Bollas, Ferro and Ogden.</div></div><div><h3>Method</h3><div>An undertaking of this kind is a matter of conceptual history. It therefore combines epistemological criticism with an examination of the concrete historical conditions in which concepts have been used, as a function of clinical practice. It highlights the growing interpretive conflicts between the various possible readings of the final chapter of the Traumdeutung, while attempting to detect a certain dialectical logic, which does not render the final contradictions absolutely irredeemable.</div></div><div><h3>Results-Interpretation</h3><div>This history yields two results: it highlights the importance of the problems posed by borderline states in post-Freudian dream theories. But it also stresses the unresolved uncertainty that affects their recent developments, because by distancing itself from the original mechanistic model, the psychic apparatus postulated by contemporary versions of psychoanalysis remains suspended in an interpsychic ‘space’ whose contours are difficult to grasp, and because it has ceased to be interested in the deciphering of dreams. Finally, the limitations of this argument, linked to a very limited selection of authors and points of view in the history of psychoanalysis, are recalled.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"9 1","pages":"Article 100509"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143654558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
