BARROS, Elias Mallet da Rocha  and  BARROS, Elizabeth Lima da Rocha. Transformation of symbolic forms in dreams. J. psicanal. [online]. 2017, vol.50, n.93, pp.37-52. ISSN 0103-5835.

The process of transforming symbolic forms into dreams. This work is based on the description of three stages when working through a traumatic situation. This paper focuses on the symbolic transformations that occur throughout this process. The authors suggest that these transformations happen through a progression of the formal aspects of the symbol. This progress should include above all the expressive aspect of the symbol. Based on Benedetto Croce's definition, the notion of expressiveness is restored to Psychoanalysis.

Keywords : dream; symbolic form; meaning; transformation; elaboration.
