Distortions or transformations in dreams - 2018.


100

The author rejects the opposition between Freud and Bion made by G. Civitarese on the subject of dreams. In Bion, the heteronomy of the subject stems from his encounter with psychosis which imposes Transformations in the intersubjective relationship. Freud, for his part, conceives distortions in terms of an autonomous psychical apparatus. David and Fain point out that according to Freud dreams represent a primitive mode of functioning of the psychical apparatus that is not separate from daytime functioning.
