Dreaming on a screen - 2023.


17

Are screens obstacles to dreams or a powerful vector of imaginary organization? How can these screens favorize dreams like tales and legends or, on the contrary, hinder unconscious processes? The evaluation of the multiple uses of screens cannot be considered without taking a psychopathological and aetiological approach. It is therefore necessary, prior to any health or medical controversy, to consider the function of these screens in the context of the personal psychic organization of children, adolescents or young adults, including in the context of attachments that are sometimes described as addictions. Metapsychology opens up a multitude of possibilities in this field and offers a rich and complex reading of the links that have always been formed between the subject and the image.
