In this paper, the author tries to show that Neurology and Psychoanalysis are irreducible to a common methodological pattern. Emphasizing the biological, chemical and physical basis of Neurology, the author puts forward the case of dream, as a phenomenon only attainable through the psychoanalytical approach. The psychoanalytical access to dream is discussed at length, and questions like the relationship between awake and dream I are considered.
