In my paper I would like to show, on the one hand, a kind of conceptual austerity in relation to the interpretation of Freud's dreams. This austerity may avoid that psychoanalysis is subject to some of the criticisms of neuroscience. On the other hand, I intend to show that is a promising strategy, at least from the point of view of psychoanalytic practice, about the understanding of dreams because is possible to recover in their disordered character of dream narratives constructions that are alternative to those that make us immersed in suffering. Therefore, I would like to conclude that for the clinic the nature of dreams, their dynamics, and their subsequent forgetfulness, is less important than the range of narrative possibilities which it opens us by its own disordered character.
