Summary/Abstract: It is between two places, two times, but also two “self” that the figure Caroline Lamarche found herself in her work “La mémoire de l’air” (2014). The writer uses dichotomy between a conceptual life and a dreamlike life, to touch on the violation that the protagonist suffered from. It is because of the numerous key literary methods specific to dreams that Lamarche obtains a narration constantly midway between the conscious and the unconscious. When the reality becomes insufficient, reverie takes the upper hand. However, beyond the story of dreams, Lamarche suggests an interior monologue with a profound critical reflection on women in society, and his recourse of dreams to say what should have been put to rest.
