Heidegger and Boss on Dreams

Anthony Stadlen
conducts
Inner Circle Seminar No. 58
Sunday 10 March 2002
10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Seventy-five years after the publication of Being and Time, we explore Heidegger’s thinking on dreams. This is in his lectures on Hölderlin’s hymn, Andenken; in other scattered remarks; and in Boss’s two books on dreams, the outcome of collaboration with Heidegger. Boss claimed Heidegger only ever dreamed one dream; it was of his school matriculation. But we present new evidence from Heidegger’s love-letters in his seventies to a young woman; these throw doubt on Boss’s claim. We try to show that, however limited Heidegger’s dream experience, his thinking on dreams is of fundamental importance for psychotherapy.
