El sueño de la metafísica
Abstract
Common experience presents dreams as a succession of images. Even those who tried to theorize them have linked the dreamlike with a kind of vision, as if dreaming was always seeing something. However, since dreams are inhabited by negatities that appear through the absence, lack, frustration or, more generally, through desire itself, the author argues that the paradoxical ontology of these perceptions forces us to switch from the visual paradigm of representation to the discursive model of meaning. Thus, far from being an image, dreams are always already a text.
