ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how Ernst Bloch appropriates Freud’s reflections on daydreams for his philosophy. From a phenomenology of daydreams, Bloch builds his hermeneutics of the utopian work of art. This is possible since the ontological separation between night dreams and daydreams. From this operation, it can be concluded that the daydreams in Bloch’s philosophy are a hermeneutic key that questions the meaning of the works of art from a not-yet-conscious of the future in the works of the past.
