	“The dream without the unconscious” We will examine some versions of the phenomenological, daseinsanalitical approach to the study of dreams, a theoric approach which excludes their causalistic, naturalistic explanation and refuses to take over psychological and neurophysiological postulates or the notion of a psychic or a cerebral unconscious. We will study Jean- Paul Sartre’s investigation of oneiric consciousness, a consciousness which is trapped in an imaging attitude it can’t escape, a consciousness which loses its being-in-the-world or, at least, its access to the reality world, and this loss marks its peculiar way of being-in-the-world. We will illustrate how, by Ludwig Binswanger, oneiric experience is a way of existing. The dreams about fly or fall outline directions of significance, draw ascent and descent motions , expansion or contraction motion which involve human Dasein, emphasizing the main features of its ontological structure. Finally, we’ll study the main problems Medard Boss deals with in his theory, a theory which invite us to respect dreams as they show themselves, occur to us, in order to overcome the distinction between manifest and latent oneiric contents, and to give up all freudian conceptual instruments (censorship, removal, etc.). We’ll try to clear how Boss established a continuity-unity between the awake existence and the oneiric existence and caught their most important difference in a limited opening to the world or not, in a reduced range of possibilities or not.

“The dream without the unconscious”

We will examine some versions of the phenomenological, daseinsanalitical approach to the study of dreams, a theoric approach which excludes their causalistic, naturalistic explanation and refuses to take over psychological and neurophysiological postulates or the notion of a psychic or a cerebral unconscious.
We will study Jean- Paul Sartre’s investigation of oneiric consciousness, a consciousness which is trapped in an imaging attitude it can’t escape, a consciousness which loses its being-in-the-world or, at least, its access to the reality world, and this loss marks its peculiar way of being-in-the-world.
