Furthermore, Bionian Field Theory postulates are shown throughout the paper, suggesting that the analytic relationship itself creates an analytic field in which dreams and unconscious processes are co-constructed.</div></div><div><h3>Objective</h3><div>The reader is guided through three emblematic texts, each embodying a different modality of oneiric experience. Juan Rulfo's Luvina represents absolute wakefulness: a concrete state in which β elements remain undigested and meaning erodes. The forest in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream illustrates absolute dream, where an unbridled α function spawns an excess of symbols and dissolves psychic boundaries until waking intervenes. The shoreline of Virginia Woolf's The Waves exemplifies the dialectical dream: an intersubjective flow in which consciousness and the unconscious co-construct experience – the ideal described by Bionian Field Theory.</div></div><div><h3>Method</h3><div>This paper employs a qualitative approach, using literary examples to explore the portrayal of dreams, namely: Juan Rulfo's Luvina, William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Virginia Woolf's The Waves. By examining the settings, characters, and events in this short story and novels, we aim to demonstrate how various forms of dreaming (absolute wakefulness, absolute dream, and the ebb and flow of Bion's dialectical dream) manifest in the narrative structure and character experiences.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>In Luvina, the narrative illustrates a concrete world view (absolute wakefulness) where meaning is elusive and dreams are inaccessible, symbolized by the desolate environment and incessant wind. In A Midsummer Night's Dream, the excessive dreaming function (absolute dream) is shown to be overwhelming, where its characters lose their sense of reality, demonstrating the necessity of waking from the dream in order to avoid confusion and over-symbolization. In Woolf's novel The Waves, the dynamics of the un/conscious are portrayed through the fluid interactions between its characters, embodying Bionian Field Theory postulates.</div></div><div><h3>Interpretations</h3><div>By juxtaposing these landscapes, the study offers a heuristic for identifying concrete, excessive, and balanced dreams in clinical practice, showing how literature illuminates a mind that dreams itself into being.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"9 2","pages":"Article 100535"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144826841","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}

Givre","doi":"10.1016/j.inan.2025.100514","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.inan.2025.100514","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Context&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the psychoanalytical field, the study of dreams questions the possible presence of “sick dreams”, whether it concerns traumatic dreams, limit dreams, melancholic dreams or either “white dreams”, which are likely to highly affect the psychic state of some patients.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Objectives&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Therefore, this article will try to discern how some specificities and qualities of our dreams can enlighten the nature of the many soul illnesses that abound in our contemporary world. First of all, some pathologies affect patients in the grip of some kind of hyper-lucid phenomena which are regularly bound to an hyper-alertness of “insomniac thoughts”, obstructing any possibility for the patient to access a certain psychical relaxation. As a result, we can prereferentially observe regarding the limit pathologies, how “the undreamt dreams” inject in the awaken life some “undreamt nocturnal remainders”, some “insomniac thoughts” capable of transforming these patients in awaken sleepwalkers controlled by these very undigested nocturnal remainders. These latter infuse and direct their behaviours where an obvious hyper-vigilance as well as an hyper-acuteness appear to better hide a subjective life tied up in a negative way and in a “white dream”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Method&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Favouring a qualitative methodology, the author will base his study upon a clinical approach of two female patients’ dreams, the actual basis of his argument. The first female patient, affected with eating disorders, was untimely using, during sessions, her “undreamt dreams” in order to deliver a dreamlike feeding as well as an unbridled projection of her “crowd self”. The second female patient, in the grip of suicidal tendencies and deeply affected with melancholy, was recounting her repetitive dreams in which the presence of an only frozen image, left her captive of a hypnotic relationship with this actual representation. Nightmares where the mesmerized image of the body tends to reflect the massified organisation of the self in order to defend itself against any risks of implosion or collapse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;On a metapsychological level, the issue of the white screen of dreams’ interiorisation, linked to the structuration of a negative hallucination is questionned, this latter fundamentally conditional to the nature of an onirical or a fantasmatic production. Where the dream, in its neurotic structuration allows the patient to hallucinate in an “healthy way”, this freedom gets jeopardized as soon as the structuration of the negative hallucination is missing. The borderlines patients’ dreams, with whom the adaptation of the screen of dreams appears to be faulty, not only derogate from the Freudian rule claiming that every dream consist of the expression of a desire, but in the same way promote harmful interpenetration phenomena between nocturnal and diurnal psychological activities. Therefore, for these patients, the acco","PeriodicalId":100661,"journal":{"name":"In Analysis","volume":"9 1","pages":"Article 100514"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143864092","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}

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}

In 2020, at the dawn of the first confinement, historian Hervé Mazurel and psychoanalyst Elizabeth Serin launched a dream collection. The aim of this collection is to grasp something of the articulation between psychic life and the historical social, and to identify the extent to which they are intertwined.
