Sample text
If it is not taken seriously, the significance of the Freudian rupture with respect to this question will escape us. ” On the one hand, the experience of the dreamer brings him up against a real (un réel, passim) that will not yield to consciousness and its instruments of analysis. On the other hand, the dreamer, upon awakening, remembers scraps of this experience and attempts to reconstruct it in the signifiers through which his or her consciousness grasps everyday life. Freud calls this passage—for a real consciousness cannot assimilate to the signifiers through which consciousness grasps reality— both a reconstruction and a transformation.
And this means there is a constant link between our fellow beings and the formation of dreams. We always dream for someone or about someone, because our fellow human being has always been the source of our dreams. Thus children dream intensely so as to perceive, through hallucination, the solution to the problem represented by their fellow beings, Nebenmenschen. Dreaming is necessary because the unknown is pushing, and the unfathomable must be conjured in a dream. But dreaming, then, becomes an aspect of the unfathomable.
This is not a very economical process! Desire is structured by the taboo with this strange yet efficient characteristic of human sexuality. Thus the “inheritance” of this identification with the father F Gérard Pommier obtains the contrary of the wish: it prolongs the harshness of the desire and ensures the sustainability of the super-ego. The death drive is the common denominator of these two super-egos, and it can move from the fellow being, the brother (the first super-ego, as I have elaborated it above) to the father (the second): when violence against the fellow being is translated into aggression toward the father, this represents a considerable economy, since the fantasy of “killing the father” has never resulted in anyone’s death (it only obliges one to arduous religious rituals).
