This book takes a new approach to Shakespeare’s plays, exploring
them as dream-thought in the modern psychoanalytic sense of
unconscious thinking. Through his commitment to poetic language,
Shakespeare offers images and dramatic sequences that illustrate
fundamental developmental conflicts, the solutions for which are
not preconceived but evolve through the process of dramatisation.
In this volume, Meg Harris Williams explores the fundamental
distinction between the surface meanings of plot or argument and
the deep grammar of dreamlife, applied not only to those plays
known as ‘dream-plays’ but also to critical sequences
throughout Shakespeare’s oeuvre. Through a post-Kleinian model
based on the thinking of Bion, Meltzer, and Money-Kyrle, this book
sheds new light on both Shakespeare’s own relation to the play
and on the identificatory processes of the playwright, reader, or
audience. Dream Sequences in Shakespeare is important reading for
psychoanalysts, playwrights, and students.
