Description
Summary:The oneiric universe is present in almost all of Samuel Beckett's work, if only in the aspect of a form of reverie as found in modified states of consciousness, distinct from the usual states of mind, and which are often quite close to trance or hypnotic states, or even, sometimes, to quite problematic psychological states. At first glance, all of Beckett's characters are dreamers, but by dint of following them in their inner turmoil, we may discover the signs of a deeper if not funding activity of the spirit. Oneirism in Beckett, when it is not the simple representation of its phenomenality, can be part of an articulatory strategy of simulacra of deep experiences of the psyche, most of the time in connection with existential questions which are neatly brought into the spectator's field of consciousness, so that, with the guard down or in no way forced to "connect" to the genre of discourse, (s)he finally lets her/ himself be experientially inhabited by it. In the opening of this article, I will present a brief overview of the formal, aspectual diversity of oneirism in a few short pieces by Samuel Beckett: ...but the clouds..., Nacht und Träume, What Where and Ghost Trio. Then, most of the development is dedicated to the descriptive analysis of Samuel Beckett's Film, which will highlight the richness of dreamlike forms and contents from his uniquely non-verbal discourse. Its aspectual diversity ranges from philosophy with phenomenological and existential tints, to the anthropology of rites and popular beliefs, and even to psychoanalysis, for the sharpness of the figures of the work of the dream which relate to it, as surprised in the field of manifestations of this unique cinematographic work.
