Abstract: This article is available in French only. Based on the interrogation regarding the substantiality of the dream statute as “royal road” to the patient’s unconscious contents in a context defined by the increasingly relational orientation of contemporary psychoanalysis through the prevalence of limit-pathologies in current psychoanalytic clinic, the author resorts to a brief incursion in the history of dream psychoanalytic approaches and then asks a number of questions which he considers to be timely both for theory and the analyst’s daily clinic for his working space: - Do we (still) need a psychoanalytic theory of the dream? - How could such a theory relate to recent data of neuroscience? - What is left of “the technique of dream interpretation” as indispensable element of the analysts’ theoretical and practical training element?
