What Dominique Pagani says
Dominique Pagani distinguishes dreaming from reverie. Reverie, which he links to Rousseau, is neither sleep nor waking: it feeds on the sound of water and makes one feel existence without thinking1. The dream proper says something the dreamer does not think, just as myth has a meaning other than the one given to it2. It is allusive and elliptical, made of condensation and displacement, and it translates statements into images: the forget-me-not says "do not forget me"34. The dream has a history: ancient dreams are emblematic and rest on shared references, while Romanticism brings the individual dream, which Jean-Paul turns into a literary genre5. In Nerval, Angélique follows the logic of a reported dream, "the overflowing of dream into real life"6. Finally, with Lenin, he gives the dream a political dimension: the dream that runs ahead of events sustains the worker's energy, provided it is joined to a reality principle and one works to make it real78.
