Waking Up in a Dream The Unconscious and the Dream

"The unconscious is neither a metaphysical or mystical field of existence, nor is it of an instinctive nature that evokes an 'animal nature'. Because it is 'structured like a language'. Moreover, both the unconscious and the language have the same origin. They presuppose each other in a mutual dependence. (. ..) The unconscious is what the subject represses, but it constantly reveals and 'expresses' itself in dreams, symptoms, slips of the tongue and unsuccessful actions. All these phenomena have the structure of language, which allows us to speak of the 'discourse of the unconscious'. These are the founding elements."

Waking Up in a Dream, with a creativity specific to dream work, focuses on the state of a person when he is at his freest and most creative, the dream state wrapped in the shell of the unconscious. It invites us to think about agency and the "possibilities" that force people to take this agency. He discusses revising language, the unconscious, dreams and our state of being human as a constructive primary subject.
