Imię jako pępek snu, czyli jak odzyskać rzeczy, których nigdy nie mieliśmy
The Name as the Navel of the Dream, or: How to Retrieve the Things We Never Had

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to tie together two distinct models: Freud’s method of interpreting dreams and Benjamin’s theory of the constellation. By combining these two theoretical constructs we are able to avoid some of the simplifications in Freud’s initial model, while also enriching Benjamin’s model with a libidinal dimension. An additional dimension in this new concept is provided by Jean Laplanche’s interpretation of Freud’s writings on the birth of the sex drive. The article closes with an analysis, based on the concept proposed here, of a dream from The Interpretation of Dreams.
