Abstract This paper investigates the emergence of dream material in the graphic novel Arsène Schrauwen, authored by Belgian comics artist, Olivier Schrauwen. Although the author purports to tell the story of his grandfather’s misadventures as a young man, from the novel’s outset the focus on Arsène’s life is blurry and unreliable, much like the creative distortions and displacements of dreaming. Drawing on notions of reverie, countertransference dreaming, and Marion Milner’s oscillation phenomena, I read this book as a metaleptic dialogue between two forms of dreaming, one in the text and one without, and in which the author allows himself to dreamily merge with the subjects of story. As such, I describe the work of an artist who creates a deliberately unrealistic portrait of his grandfather, yet in this unfaithful rendering communicates the enduring and destabilizing presence of generational echoes, which continue to oscillate as the counternarrative dream material of present life.

摘要 本文研究了比利时漫画家 Olivier Schrauwen 的图画小说 Arsène Schrauwen 中梦境素材的出现。尽管作者声称要讲述他祖父年轻时的不幸经历，但从小说一开始，对阿尔塞纳生活的关注就模糊且不可靠，就像梦境的创造性扭曲和移位一样。借鉴遐想、反移情梦和马里昂·米尔纳的振荡现象的概念，我把这本书看作是两种形式的梦之间的金属对话，一种在文本中，另一种在文本之外，作者允许自己梦幻般地与主题融合的故事。因此，我描述了一位艺术家的作品，他故意为他的祖父创作了一幅不切实际的肖像，
