| Sumario: | According to Sigmund Freud, when writers make characters constructed by their imagination dream, they generally reverberate the same principles described in The Interpretation of Dreams, a work in which the famous psychoanalyst sought to unveil the mechanisms of the dream work of real people, attributing meaning to it. Thus, considering that Freud himself applied his theory to interpret the novel Gradiva, by Wilhelm Jensen, published at the beginning of the 20th century, in this article, we propose the analysis of three dreams present in the works Metamorphoses, Amores and Heroides, by the Roman poet Ovid (1st century BC), with the aim of illustrating the extent to which Freudian theory can contribute both to the psychological introspection of Ovidian characters and to the understanding of fictional dreams as elements belonging to a timeless literary genre, based on credible imitation of more or less universal unconscious psychic structures. |
