The resistance of dreams to the transparency of the egoic consciousness, as opposed to structural
meaning per se, lies not in their 'objective presentation', that is, in the way in which objects appear
phenomenologically in terms of an eidos, under the order of the symbol. It lies, rather, in a noetic resistance, in an opacity on the order of the image, the imaginary: a lacking in the 'narrative' flow of meaning as it flows forwards in time, the non-conformity of the ordered text. Or so it appears at first glance. Dreams seem to hide from imaginary order, protesting against a psychological model of sense/reference. This due to the triebliche (drive-ish) source of dreams' contents.
In this frame, it appears that when I wake from this dream, or that one, confused, it is not so much because there were no recognisable signifiers, symbols or objects: the cat in my dream I know as a cat, that tram I understand as a tram, the gun looked like a gun which shot bullets and killed the monster. To my understanding, it is in the diachronic flow that meaning seems to elude me. In the syntagmatic disjunctions, dislocations and disordering of the 'normal', everyday and waking flow of signifiers' differences and associations. Not these as such, but in the flow thereof.
The diachronic flow of signifiers which appears transparent due to repetitive reification in the meaningful discourse of the everyday is undermined and turned upside down in my night-life. It is because the cat is eating pizza with knife and fork, because the tram has now become a train (while I was not looking), because shooting the monster had 'nothing' to do with 'anything else' in my dream narrative that meaning escapes my consciousness. These alien patterns of flow alienate me from my dreams' meanings.
I am aware, generally, that this lack of meaning is grounded in the manners by which the wish-fulfilments of my Trieben (drives) tend to function, as Freud has variously written, that is, dreams are "disguised fulfilments of repressed wishes" 0 [emph. in original]. However, the signifying chain generated by this or that Trieb (drive) in this or that dream by the unconscious is radically obscured in its translation to the symbolic by the censor: that is, in the Trieb's translation subject to law and reality, which need to preserve their own particular order. Reality (see #Footnote ) refuses to accommodate the fulfilment of this or that Trieb, and hence the flow of meaning is, not edited, but rather ciphered altogether. It is not so much that certain sections are 'cut', like a censor might edit a film, but narrative flow itself appears bizarre. The above confusion is, because to my consciousness, where the symbolic or signifying order understood discretely yet remains transparent, analogous meaning is henceforth censored and made secretive.
All this, however, is in fact a clever ruse intended to sustain the 'sanity' or coherence of the symbolic under the real while repression has become the destiny of the disallowed Trieben. In fact, 'in' reality, it is the signifiers (the symbolic - cats and guns and trams) which are always metaphors and metonyms of unconscious signifieds. Dreams have more in common with surrealist poetry than with a film or play in which the story has been cut into pieces and re-arranged at random. If we were to identify or open the symbols in relation to what is being repressed (the aim of analysis), no doubt escaping reality, then the diachronic flow, or narrative process would, without alteration, make complete sense. For, of course, a diachronic 'flow' itself cannot be 'dislocated': it can only move 'forward' in time. Even a re-arranged film while making non-sense, still begins at time one, and ends at time two.
What of dreaming sex? Not frustrated sex, but dreaming sex in a dreamy freedom? Here there could be no proper bar or resistance between the symbolic and the imaginary - for whatever reason or lack, reality appears to have 'forgotten' to get in the way - the dream becomes real (in a Freudian sense), so to speak. That is, there's no dialogue of repression - the sign stands un-occulted. Dreaming orgasmic sex as just that with an ideal ego is not going to involve confusion or narrative rupture, unless the censor moves back in to blip or expurgate it by ******* with associations of the petit objet 'a' : ideal ego - the looked at signifier, symbol for example. Perhaps the ideal ego (ie, who you're doing it with in your naughty dream) turns into a cloud and suddenly you're falling to earth, or whatever. But if that doesn't happen, in this case we could say that the Trieb as articulated demand appears (as closely as seems possible) simply fulfilled. Dreaming sex is then a 'primary' Freudian metaphor, but not of what we have grown up to signify with 'sex'. Dreaming sex is, in the sense that it escapes symbolic metaphor violated by reality, is understood wholly by small 'r' reality (the symbolic order).
