...The dream, guardian of sleep and also its enemy...

Its interpretation, the "royal" road to exploring the unconscious, is also resistance. Is it perhaps in this line of resistance when Freud himself did not analyze - based on a dream he had himself - the meaning of the injection with the substance of trimethylamine, the three methyl groups [N(CH)3]?

"I brought you a dream," we hear from some analysands. It "brings" us, that is, it performs an act, a gift perhaps that the analyst requested, to captivate him but also to hinder the analytic process (dreams-fetishes). In such moments, I believe that the analyst should not interpret the content of the dream, but the dream itself as a movement-action, gift-resistance. In an analysand who often "brought" dreams, I reminded him of a favorite phrase of his: "Fear the Danaans, even when they bring gifts." He replied that now is the time to stop the analysis.
