The neurotic lullaby, the tendency to sleep.

It is not by few references in Freud’s and Lacan’s work that we can argue that neurotic mental life holds a certain order of a tendency to sleep. That the work from unconscious involves some numbing can not escape from our understanding. Moreover, that this last issue allows us to debrief the relations between state of sleep and awakening, shall not be circumvented in our development. Thus, we propose that this state of sleep is the fundamental state of the parlêtre.

Since 1900, psychoanalytic discipline agrees that dreaming holds, at least in one of its functions, that of being a sort of «guardian to sleep». Well, being agreed that we do not wake from sleep unless a homeostatic order is broken; with Freud, we state that here happens what is disclosed in Chapter VII of The Interpretation of Dreams [FREUD, 1900]. The «failure of the dream». However, to build a somewhat thorough study on the matter, we must start another idea with the aim to come back. 

It is not alien to us, within the field of psychoanalysis, the idea of an interpreter unconscious, which operates at the service of a bond of free energy which allows the apparatus to numb in a homeostatic way. Which results not less convenient to the Ego. This somniferous interpretative puncture form the unconscious can be located in a great portion of Freud’s clinical history. Because it is not in our power to consult all the literature on the subject at this precise moment, and because we serve to a further development; let us take briefly a freudian example on the very same seventh chapter in the Interpretation of Dreams. We refer to the dream of the bird-headed men [ibid]. After some development (which doubles the interpretation made within the dream itself), Freud appointed that, before the anguish for what’s unprocessed, a kind of sense is already made; that of the dream.

That the subject which opposes common sense (the very same which wagers to affirm that anguish ensues because of the content of the dream) with the labour of analysis (which comes to sustain that the content of the dream is a first processing over the anguish, disrispectful for homeostasis) is the holder of our essay, is lawful to point. For the anguish dream begets a realization of desire as well. One of not little grief.

Thus, the unconscious provides us with one first interpretation, it comes to transact an excess which has shown itself unmasked within the dream. Under the rule of the pleasure principle, this impulse must have been censored, must have been processed. However, due to the failure of this oniric interpretation; one shall arouse in the major of shocks. Summarizing, the work from the unconscious produces dreams which are «guardians to sleep», whenever this work from unconscious means the duty to re-bond the free energy; which is perceived as anguish by the mental apparatus.

Because it concerns to us an outpost over some other fields to continue with our enterprise, let us finalize our current development pointing that the previous approach, that which opposes common sense with the labour of analysis, comes to a singular relation with that which opposes this tendency to sleep with awakening.
