Vittorio Lingiardi
Dreams as neuro-wonder
‘Every dream’ – Freud wrote more than a century ago – ‘has a navel through which it is linked to the unknown’. Starting from this mysterious and neuro-wonderful navel, Vittorio Lingiardi takes us on a dreamlike journey suspended between myth, mind, and brain. Because ‘truth does not lie in a single dream, but in several dreams’. We will have nightmares, Homeric visions, and lucid dreams; we will investigate the rapid dances of eye movements and the troubled dreams of lockdown; consciousness and the unconscious; we will dream with cinema and with poetry.
