VIEIRA, Carlos de Almeida. Psychoanalysis and literature: about the nightmare. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2015, vol.49, n.2, pp.63-72. ISSN 0486-641X.

Inspired by J.L. Borges' essay on nightmare, the author establishes a link between literature and psychoanalysis. He shows nuances that are put side by side with matters contained in the work of Sigmund Freud and other authors. Thus, he uses the observation of writers and poets as a contribution to psychoanalysis, in the sense of apprehending the psychic reality and the phenomenological description of the state of nightmare - the anguish dream. This paper aims to enrich the knowledge about the states of the human soul - a knowledge that was brought by writers and poets - and, therefore, it also aims to underline the importance of the artistic vertex as another way of observation in the analytic practice.

Palabras clave : nightmare; anguish dreams; labyrinths; mirrors; masks; phenomenological observation.
