Abstract

MONDRZAK, Viviane Sprinz. The Wolf Man: dreams and nightmares. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2015, vol.49, n.2, pp. 37-48. ISSN 0486-641X.

In this paper, from reading several views about the Wolf Man, I tried to detect what sounded like a dream for me and what seemed, for me, like a nightmare for Freud, Sergei Pankejeff, and notably for the psychoanalysts that are connected with Freud's work. As for the last ones, we wonder how much Freud's idealization has made it harder - as it possibly made it harder for the Wolf Man - to keep dreaming the impact caused by being in contact with his genius. And we question how flexible is the vessel that is offered by the psychoanalytic group (a certain imagery that is different in each place and - we hope - that varies with time) in order to enable each analyst to be closer to Freudian writing with creative freedom - in order to allow an enactive knowledge, which is constantly built through experience. The farther (we are) from this ideal, the closer (we are) to nightmares.
