Working with two short data extracts, this paper explores the productivity of Bion’s understanding of dreaming and Ogden’s talking-as-dreaming for thinking about difficult moments in pedagogic encounters. Education valorises what Bion called the Waking-state; this paper explores the ways in which this preference may incur costs to learning, and why maintaining a connection to dreaming in the classroom might be important.
