Summary/Abstract: In this paper I will demonstrate that the psychoanalytic notion of the “spontaneity of the unconscious”, notion that is much debated in the theory of the Daseinanalysis therapy, is actually contained already in the arhitext of that theory, namely in Heidegger’s Being and Time. According to my hypothesis, the theory of Jacques Lacan, through which he justifies the use of technique of the so called sessions of variable duration, has much in common with the mode in which Heidegger treats the phenomenon of conscience in the paragraphs 55, 56 and 57 in Being and Time.
