Freud
Summary Freud’s ‘The Interpretation of Dreams’ focuses upon the relationship between the signs, in the surface content of the dream, and the operation of thought that produces these signs, in the latent content of the dream. Freud’s analysis is a means for tangling with a discontinuous narrative style because Freud’s analysis provides a methodological approach to the question: how does the novel bear witness to the writer’s subjective consciousness?

This investigation is a practice-based inquiry. It takes place in the context of writing and editing a novel manuscript: The earth does not get fat (Prendergast 2012). The novel is a collection of interrelated stories told in multiple first-person voices. This paper examines how the discontinuous structure of the novel is shadowed by latent content and, in a reciprocal manner, how the latent content ghosts the surface of the text.
