Abstract

TOGNOLLI, Dora. Threshold: the dreamland. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2016, vol.50, n.3, pp. 91-102. ISSN 0486-641X.

In psychoanalytic practice, one experienced case problematizes intensities, the instinctual, the difficulty in making transitions and passages. From the unbridled sexual excitement to the extreme control, a patient, who seeks psychoanalytic therapy after experiencing professional and romantic breakups, evokes a range of questions. These questions are related to the Freudian writings about dreams, in which Freud takes into account the idea of the other scene. They are also related to Walter Benjamin's works - Benjamin's passages. Benjamin's idea of thresholds is used as a working tool in order to allude to the difficulty in occupying transitory, fluid, and often uncertain spaces, which foreshadow psychic transformations.

Keywords : threshold; other scene; dreamland; metapsychology; disproportion.
