Sigmund Freud on Dreams - Dictionary of Arguments
Ricoeur I 101 Dream/Freud/Ricoeur: The thesis that the dream has a meaning is primarily a polemical thesis that Freud defends on two fronts: a) On the one hand, it is opposed to any conception that considers the dream to be a random game of ideas, a remnant of spiritual life, where only the lack of meaning would be problematic: to speak of the meaning of the dream here means to declare that it is an intelligible, even intellectual activity of man; to understand it means to make the experience of intelligibility. b) On the other hand, the thesis is opposed to any hasty organic explanation of the dream; it states that the dream narrative can always be replaced by another narrative, including semantics and syntax, and that these two narratives can be compared with each other like one text with another; Freud even compares (...) this relationship from text to text with the relationship of an original to its translation (...). (...) the interpretation [moves] from a less understandable sense to a more understandable one; the same must apply to the analogy of the picture puzzle, which belongs to the same circle of relationships, the relationship of dark text to clear text. >Sense/Ricoeur, >Interpretation/Ricoeur, >Symptom/Freud._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
