GALVAO, Walnice Nogueira. Nightmares in literature. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2015, vol.49, n.2, pp.128-140. ISSN 0486-641X.

A reflection on the importance of the nightmare in literature should consider the profession of dreamer, which was very common in Ancient Times. In our time, the literary domain of nightmares was discovered from Romanticism, which turned to the irrational supremacy as a reaction against the Industrial Revolution. The primacy of reason, which was typical in the Age of Enlightenment, was contested by romantic writers, who questioned the neoclassic balance, proportions and symmetry. In return, they privileged the impulse, lack of shape, imbalance, asymmetry. Dream and nightmare were prioritized as the sources of art. A sympathy for Satanism, occultism, and searching for the dark side of the soul was originated therefrom. There are great writers among those who adopted the new aesthetics.

Palavras-chave : dream; nightmare; reason; Romanticism; art.
