Al vorde del olvido

Abstract

This study traces a poetic, critical, and sensory genealogy of dreaming, understanding it as an embodied, collective, and artistic experience. Adopting a transdisciplinary perspective, it explores the cultural history of dreams and their connections with art, music, the body, and forms of non-rational knowledge, challenging the place that Western modernity has assigned to dreaming—as mere residue, symptom, or data—and instead highlighting its potential as a source of creation and resonance. Through the original methodology Onirografías—which encompasses the collection of dreams, a sound installation, and a video performance—dreaming is activated as a shared, sensitive space. The study concludes by proposing the dream as a metasense: a mode of knowledge that arises from the sleeping body as a threshold between worlds, an experience that overflows the logic of meaning and defies purely rational interpretation.
