This paper is the effect of a psychoanalytic clinical care performed during the supervised training program in the Psychology course at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), presented as an assistance report. The study will hold the presentation of the case and later on some theoretical notes will be made from the perspective of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis. The choice of the fictitious name Aurora (which means dawn in Portuguese), refers to a metaphorical approach of the rising of the day, to the subject’s birth. The main objective of this clinical report is to forward a discussion that points to how the subject deals with the ascent to his/her place of a desiring being. More specifically, the discussion addresses the mother/ daughter problematics reported by the patient during treatment processes. Caught up in the web of maternal signifiers, Aurora lingers to rise as a desiring subject. However, despite all the deviations, and even in the face of the impossibility of pointing to a definitive and punctual birth, throughout the listening task, we, at least, managed to catch sight of the first rays of an aurora.
