GURFINKEL, Decio. Expectation, hope, and dream: on lying fallow. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.4, pp.39-48. ISSN 0486-641X.

The art of expecting is one of Winnicott's most significant contributions to psychoanalytic practice. In a previous work, I proposed that the ability to expect implies to believe that the object will be found. Hence, expectation is only possible when there is hope. Well, the expectation-hope is also an essential condition for the ability to dream. The antisocial act is a cry for help and therefore a sign of hope. Nevertheless, when hope is broken we find ourselves in the field of the “dream breakdown (or collapse)”. In the work “On lying fallow”, M. Khan showed a sensitive and precise approach to the primary (or primordial) place of expectation and silence in the psychoanalytic practice and life in general. I hereby return to this theme.

Palavras-chave : expectation; hope; rest; to; dream; silence.
