The development of the studies on the Socratic philosophies have enabled a return to the analysis of intertextual passages within the platonic corpus. This work explores the dream passage in Theaetetus, 201c ff. and its links with Antisthenic philosophy. Firstly, it analyses its features in the context of the Socratic dialogue. Then, it presents some key points on the dream passage, and finaly, it sets out an interpretation of the Antisthenic philosophy that reveals relevant contacts with the Platonic approach. In this vein, we offer an hypothesis about the general sense of the dialogue and its way of comprehend the phenomenon of knowledge.
