Very good copy with minimal signs of wear. - After a hundred years of psychoanalysis what has the psychoanalytic interpretation of dreams 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 psychotherapists do not work so much on dreams as with dreams, preferring to emphasise their function of transformation and symbolic creation, rather than decipher their obscure messages. Dreaming is the way in which we give 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. / ABOUT THE AUTHOR -- INTRODUCTION -- CHAPTER ONE -- Dark contemplation -- CHAPTER TWO -- Dream fictions -- CHAPTER THREE -- The Cell and the cruel/painful world of Carl Stargher -- CHAPTER FOUR -- The inability to dream in They and Dark City -- CHAPTER FIVE -- The dream as an aesthetic object -- CHAPTER SIX -- Losing your mind, finding your mind -- CHAPTER SEVEN -- Reverie, or how to capture a killer (-content) -- CHAPTER EIGHT -- Dreams of dreams -- CHAPTER NINE -- Are dreams still the guardians of sleep? -- FILMOGRAPHY -- REFERENCES -- INDEX.
