Abstract: In this short piece, we discuss the importance of reverie, a psychoanalytic concept, but also, a central logic in sumud. Using direct testimony from Palestinians in Gaza and freed political prisoners, we conceptualize how reverie affirms Palestinian life, willfulness, and resistance against the backdrop of settler colonial violence and, currently, active genocide.
