This article discusses some social, political, and psychological effects of enforced disappearance as an effect of strategies used during the Brazilian military dictatorship. Such strategies are buttressed and anchor at the certainty of impunity and indifference to the victims and survivors. One of the main consequences of this indifference today is the aggravation of the suffering of family members still alive. It is preserved by the lethargy of the Brazilian state after the end of the dictatorship period, before the obligations to comply with the main international human rights resolutions relating to combating forced disappearance of persons. We recognize in the dream-work traces, tracks and footprints of experiences that still insist and seek their status of language and social recognition 50 years after the civil-military coup in Brazil. This article presents partial results of a long research which is intended to indicate interpretative nuances on the experience of dreaming, the impossibility of dreaming, sleepwalking and perpetual waking life before liminal experiences
