After a hundred years of psychoanalysis what has the psychoanalytic
interpretation of dreams now become? Are what Simic calls the films
of our lives still the royal road to the unconscious or do we now
have a different concept both of dreams and of the unconscious?
What is the meaning of dreams in the analytic dialogue? Do they
still have a key role to play in clinical practice or not? These
are just some of the questions that this book seeks to
answer.Nowadays psychoanalysts and psychotherapsist do not work so
much on dreams as with dreams, preferring to emphasize their
function of transformation and symbolic creation, rather than
decipher their obscure messages. Dreaming is the way in which we
give a personal meaning to experience and expand our unconscious.
As such, it is a necessary activity which, as Bion says, takes
place both in sleep and in waking. But the space of the dream is an
inaccessible sanctuary, which can make this task quite frustrating.
For this reason the author weaves the dream discourse with that of
cinema - according to a famous definition, a dream factory - and
cites a number of films to evoke the magic of their images.In this
way he explores a new way of approaching the vibrant, exciting,
intriguing or distressing material of dreams.
