O SUJEITO SONHADOR E OS PRAZERES ONÍRICOS: SOBRE OS MODOS DE EXISTÊNCIA COM FOUCAULT EM ARTEMIDORO

This article analyzes the interpretation of sexual dreams in Artemidorus' onirocriticism through the perspective of Michel Foucault, with comparative references to Freud's dream interpretation. It observes how Foucault links Artemidorus' onirocriticism to “care of the self,” shifting the focus from desire to pleasure. The transformation of dreams into techniques of existence and sexual ethics is discussed, emphasizing the regulatory and formative role of dreams in the subject's life. Foucault identifies three modalities of sexual relations in dreams - in accordance with the law, contrary to the law, and complex family relations - and their juridical-moral implications. The article outlines how these interpretations shape the social and moral conduct of dreaming subjects, connecting to the genealogy of sexual norms and historical ethos.
