Abstract:

Dream and fiction are treated through a prism of creativity and creative capacity. The attempt is made to compare Freud’s method of dream’s analysis and different meth-ods of fiction analysis. The following topics are discussed: possible worlds of dreams and of fiction; correlations between literary meaning and depth meaning; between dreamer and teller in fiction; psychic processes in dreams and their correlates in literary fiction; expressive means of dreams and means in fiction; suggestive processes and language creativity.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper explores cases of inaccurate interpretations or deceitful dream predictions in early and mid-Qing xiaoshuo and biji – Chinese leisure literature of short stories and anecdotes. While most dream narratives from this body of literature drew on the oneiromantic tradition and featured dream omens that get realized, some anecdotes playfully recounted tales of misunderstood dreams or deceptive oneiric forecasts. Such cases reveal a disillusioned stance of Qing authors toward the classical discourse on oneiromancy and a playful use of the usual rhetoric of how dreams were supposed to convey the truth. Through them, one may perceive an intention of Qing authors to reassess the conventional discourse on dreams and find a new way of writing about dreams with other concerns than divination. This paper reminds how the signifiers of a dream may mean different things to each dreamer or each person that interprets a dream, revealing how dream omens and interpretations are subject to individual understanding. This article is divided into two main parts. The first part is devoted to wrong interpretations of dreams, either because the following events are happier than what the person interpreting the dream expected, or because the realization of the omens turns out more disappointing than predicted. The second part deals with dream predictions that are evidently deceptive. These dishonest forecasts may be granted to dreamers by manipulative beings, or more surprisingly, by forces that are harder to understand. In the latter case, those who are tricked by what seems to be fate itself are left at a loss, looking in vain for the meaning of their dreams.

Abstract:

“Muslims were not the first in the Near East to interpret dreams. This type of divination had a long history, and Muslims were not ignorant of that history.” The interest of early Arab Islamic cultures in dreams can be proved by the vast literature on dreams and their interpretation as well as dream accounts written in diverse historical texts. The Ottoman Empire was no different in that it also shared this culture of dream interpretation and narration. Unlike past scholarship that ignored the significance of dreams, the number of studies addressing the subject has increased in the recent decades, thanks to the growing tendency of scholars to see dreams as potential sources for cultural history. However, as Peter Burke has stated, scholars and historians in particular must bear in mind the fact that “they do not have access to the dream itself but at best to a written record, modified by the preconscious or conscious mind in the course of recollection and writing.” Historians must be aware of the fact that dream accounts might be recorded by dreamers who recounted how they wanted to remember them. The “reality” of the dream, in a sense, may be distorted. However, dream accounts, distorted or not, can provide a ground for historical analysis because they may reveal the most intimate sentiments, aspirations, and anxieties of the dreamer. Such self-narratives can provide the historian with information necessary to map the mindset of a historical personage, because “such ‘secondary elaboration’ probably reveals the character and problems of the dreamer as clearly as the dream itself does.” This paper focuses on a sampling of dreams related in an 18th-century Ottoman self-narrative to provide insight into the life and mind of an Ottoman governor. I will try to demonstrate how the author of the narrative made meaning of those dreams and revealed his aspirations.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT This article examines a much-underrated aspect in the Holmesian canon: dreams and the potential for dream-rehearsals by virtue of the brain’s “dream drugstore” faculty. Frequently described as “dreamy-eyed” or the “dreamer” of Baker Street, Holmes possesses powers of visiting scenes of crime “in spirit,” exhibiting powers of oneirogenesis. This unorthodox criminological strategy marks him as a critic of Western rationality, placing him in a genealogy dating back to Thomas De Quincey (who recorded vivid hallucinogenic dreams) and The Moonstone’s character Ezra Jennings (practically the first sleuth in Victorian English literature). In the Holmesian canon, (lucid) dreaming plays a subliminal role, which calls to question what this repressed unorthodoxy in Holmesian investigations implies for the detective’s preeminent science of deduction. Representations and adaptations that do not account for Holmesian oneirogenesis, are incomplete projections of the, ultimately and absolutely, human and oneirically harnessed faculties of the Victorian detective.

Abstract:

Abstract In archaic and classical literature dreams often appear as independent entities that enter human consciousness as messengers or omens. In Homer a god can come in a dream-always in disguise-or can send a dream. Dreams are insubstantial, like the psychai; a psyche like a god may come in a dream. If a dream bears a message (which may be a lie) it declares itself a messenger; ominous dreams simply arrive and require interpretation-which may be erroneous. Insubstantial and deceptive, dreams occupy a territory between reality and unreality. The resultant ambiguities are explored at length in Odyssey 19, where a truthful, self-interpreting dream is told and rejected by the teller, who nevertheless proceeds to act as if she believed it. Later literature shows us specific rituals for dealing with dreams, and tells of their origin as children of Night or Chthôn. Sometimes exogenic dreams are contrasted with endogenic dreams, which may arise from organic states. Finally in Plato’s Republic we have an account of certain dreams as irruptions into consciousness of hidden aspects of the psyche.

Abstract:

In the context of ancient theories of dreams and their interpretation, the rabbinic literature offers particularly interesting loci. Even though the view on the nature of dreams is far from unambiguous, the rabbinic tradition of oneirocritics, i.e. the discourse on how dreams are interpreted, stands out as highly original. As has been shown in earlier research, oneirocritics resembles scriptural interpretation, midrash, to which it has lent some of its exegetical rules. This article will primarily investigate the interpreter’s role in the rabbinic practice of dream interpretation, as reflected in a few rabbinic stories from the two Talmuds and from midrashim. It is shown that these narrative examples have some common themes. They all demonstrate the poly-semy of the dream-text, and how the person who puts an interpretation on it constructs the dream’s significance. Most of the stories also emphasize that the outcome of the dream is postponed until triggered by its interpretation. Thus the dreams are, in a sense, pictured as prophetic – but it is rather the interpreter that constitutes the prophetic instance, not the dream itself. This analysis is followed by a concluding discussion on the analogical relation between the Scripture and the dream-text, and the interpretative practices of midrash and oneirocritics.

Abstract:

In culture research, just like in psychology, there is a tendency of defining dreams as specific language, characterized by its unique structure and meaning. Thus, distinction between absolutely individual language of the dream, which is, according to the cultural scholar Yuri Lotman, unsuited to communication, and the language of the dream narrative, which turns private oneiric experience into a public social performance, directly connected to tradition and social communication, acquires particular relevance.Here, several relevant aspects of the dream narratives as elements of the traditional communication are examined in greater detail. While studying the dream narratives recorded in the course of approximately a decade in various parts of Lithuania, it was noted that narrators belonging to the elder generation quite frequently refer to delivering a message gained in the dream (i. e., when the dreamer believes to have dreamt of something significant) to a person that has been dreamt of or is closely related to the deceased appearing in the dream (in order to warn or inform the person in question of something, or in order to encourage them to take certain action). The article is focused on the ways that such communication of the dream message affects the behavior of the community members and their relationships. Another group of the dream narratives analyzed in the article consists of stories about the deceased applying for help in the dreams. Here, narratives involving the deceased unexpectedly turning up in the dreams of strangers (not the family members or relatives) and asking for something, are considered. Like the whole paradigm of oneiric narratives associated with the requests of the deceased in general, these narratives support the essential notion shaped by tradition and religious practices: namely, that requests from the deceased are never accidental (the deceased only apply for help when it is necessary) and must be granted immediately. It seems that in such atmosphere of full-scale caring about the deceased sighted in dreams, the opposition of one’s own vs. strange is totally abolished.The dream narratives as elements of traditional communication correspond to the general view supported by many researchers maintaining that folklore is a communication phenomenon par excellence, provided it is viewed not just as a jumble of separate pieces, but rather as a continuous flow of tradition, as ways and processes of supporting the communal ties and mutual understanding, of sharing values and living accordingly.

Abstract:

This historical examination focuses on dreams at a time when these manifestations of sleeping consciousness first drew the interest of the new psychologists in addition to that of philosophers, clergy, and laity. The data is the dream literature from 1860 to 1910, reflected primarily in popular magazines. The author summarizes the dream articles in religious magazines and by the clergy, followed by a description of parapsychological dreams and religious themes in dreams. Finally, a discussion of dreams of death and the various ways that death is symbolized and personified is presented. References are provided for selected literature of the twentieth century.

Abstract:

The author focuses on metaphysical issues as explored in the nineteenth century periodical dream literature. The relationship between dreams of death and myths of immorality is examined first, followed by illustrations of the use of death dreams in the expositions of both realist and idealist philosophies. Specific philosophies buttressed by these dream phenomena (as argued by the nineteenth century authors) are (a) the wandering soul, (b) spiritualism and Swedenborgianism (with the subcategories of dreams and fiction and fantastic dreams, (c) Naturphilosophie, (d) atomist theory, (e) ancestral memories, (f) naive realism, and (g) idealism. Further integration of dream phenomena in Christian psychotherapies and theology is recommended.

Abstract:

Since the middle of the 2000s and the rise of Cool Japan, manga, anime, video games, Japanese horror films and J-Pop music are more popular than ever throughout the world. Both in Japan and abroad, these popular culture products are often synonymous with subculture. Sabukaruchā, as it is known in Japan, is a hot topic even as the concept itself remains unresolved. In this context, what role does literature—a field no longer atop the cultural hierarchy—have to do with the ongoing negotiation of what subculture means in modern Japan? The elements of what we now consider subcultural media and narratives have roots in the literature of past decades, and in this dissertation I explore the possibility of a new analytical framework: “subculture literature.” By thinking of subculture as a reception category—not unlike cult film—rather than in terms of concrete genres such as manga or anime, I adopt the concept of “subcultural affects” to examine notions of marginality and how society defines itself (and responds to external definitions). Similar to what might be considered narrative elements in a literary context, subcultural affects are the aspects of a text that are drawn out by readers to form affective constellations predicated on minorness. As a case study, I turn to the texts and reception of Yumeno Kyūsaku (1889-1936), a writer of mystery fiction who, despite achieving modest popular success in the late 1920s and early 1930s, was largely forgotten until his writing was revived in the context of 1960s sub- and counter-culture. For a politically-engaged youth, Kyūsaku offered an alternative model of being in the world: romantic and darkly comic, and engaged with questions of authority and madness. But how was his work received when it was written? Using the subcultural affects of henkaku, nansensu and dochaku, I consider the long-term reception of Kyūsaku’s work as a way to begin to bridge not only the gaps between historical eras, but between center and margin, major and minor, and popular and elite.

Abstract:

In the following paper I will attempt to define the genre of Daniel 2 according to its dream characteristics. To demonstrate that this literary style is not unique to Daniel 2 but was widespread in the ancient near east over a long period of time, I will survey what I believe to be parallel dream narratives from the Old Testament as well as from Sumerian, Akkadian, Hittite, and Egyptian texts. The numerous similarities of these narratives will not only provide a sufficient base for positing a dream genre, but will also clarify the fundamental theme of Daniel 2 which has many times been cluttered or overlooked by its identification with other overlapping genres. By including details from most of the dream narratives of antiquity, I believe it will become clear that Daniel 2 is not so much about wisdom, courts, or even an apocalypse, so much as it is about the acknowledgement of an ultimate power who is omniscient and lord over kingdoms past and future.

Abstract:

Dreams attract by their mysticism, and works of literature are a vivid example of how through them a person can rethink certain aspects of his life, to analyze certain moments. But the main thing is to understand the significance of such a reception on the scale of the whole work. The analysis of works of Russian literature is presented, the analysis and synthesis of dreams in the works of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky "Crime and Punishment" and Mariam Sergeyevna Petrosyan "The House in Which..." are given in detail. It is worth saying that dreams and daydreams of the characters in literature are a common compositional, artistic device. With their help, readers can better understand the feelings, thoughts, experiences of the character. The field that explores dreams in literature is oneiropoetics. Several types of dreams - as an artistic device - are distinguished. Dreams are the most important artistic device, which helps the author to fully convey his idea to the reader. Dreams of the characters allow to better understand their characters, the reasons for their actions, their attitude towards other people and themselves, and sometimes determine their life in general. Dreams foretell the future of the characters, clarify their past, help to make the right choice or try to warn against mistakes.

Abstract:

There are almost 500 novels included in Pu Songling’s tale collection Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, of which more than 70 relate to dreams. However, nearly 30 novels can be called dream novels in a formal sense, such as Mural, Becoming Immortal and Fengyang Scholar. The main features of dream novels are novelty and variety. On the basis of inheritance from the previous Chinese dream novels, Pu’s dream novels have innovated in some ways with new changes or development of the theme. Further, novelty in artistic forms lies in the bold and innovative narrative techniques. Also, Pu’s dream novels are more diverse and vary in the content and form which have broken through the plainness of the previous. The content covers a wide range of topics, among which society, love and philosophy are the top three. In the form of writing dreams, there are multiple forms such as whole dreams, intermittent dreams, dreams within dreams, repeated dreams, daydreams, etc.

Being a recognized encyclopedia of old Chinese life, this novel provides the reader with numerous information about various aspects of the life of the aristocracy of Qing China. The theme of the theatre is one of the most interesting aspects of traditional culture, reflected in the pages of “Hongloumen”. The novel provides information about the peculiarities of the social status of actors, the composition of theatre troupes and their varieties, repertoire, the ways of organization of performances, the management system of troupes, etc. There are not so many “opera scenes” in the Dream of the Red Chamber, but they cover a wide range of the existence of musical drama. Based on this information, it is possible to identify the specifics of “house troupes” in the Qing period, to consider the role, functions and influence of opera productions on the characters of the novel, to trace the fate of the actors. The novel Dream of the Red Chamber is an inexhaustible source of knowledge about the traditions and cultural features of imperial China.

Abstract:

The paper deals with contemporary representations of two classical plot models: Peach Blossom Spring (武陵桃源) and Dream Journey (夢遊錄) originated in Chinese literature tradition and were peculiarly developed in pre-modern Korean literature. The paper discusses their representations in South Korean poetry and prose. The analysis shows, that Peach Blossom Spring as a social utopia enters Korean literature both in an ironical context and as an opposition to the city life preoccupied with everyday vanity. The majority cases is when it serves the base for contemporary stories of an ideal place quest with the protagonist realizing the false character of the ideal. The case of the reversed usage of the Dream Journey plot in the existential story The Journey to Mujun by Kim Seung-ok has been analysed by the A. F. Trotsevich. The paper will render another case with a lost opportunity to wake up after the realization of mistakes. The paper bases on the works of widely known South Korean writers/poets as Choe In-ho, Jeong Hyon-jong, Ha Il-ji and others making the conclusion on the main transformational trends in the plot models.

Abstract:

混 (hùn, “primordial chaos”) is one of the most complex and multi-aspect concepts in Chinese philosophy. This category was fully developed in the Taoist texts, dating back to the 4th–3th centuries BC. Taoist philosophers interpreted the concept not just as the core of cosmogony, but also as the basis of all ethical and socio-political concepts. In Taoist texts all the meanings are distinctly positive and opposed to the concept of 乱 (luàn, “disorder”), which means destruction of the original chaotic (i. e., holistic) nature of the universe. To determine how this concept transpire in traditional Chinese culture and to what extent it is still considered to be positive, the author analyzed the usage of the word in the four great classical novels: Water Margin, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Chamber.

Abstract:

Increasing mechanization since the Industrial Revolution has affected many societies of the world, especially Western societies. Increasing mechanization with the revolution has brought with it migration movements due to economic origin. Increasing migration from rural areas to cities with the dream of a better life has resulted in worse socio-economic results rather than individuals leading a better life. The surplus of workers resulting from the ever-increasing population in the cities has provided the capital owners with the opportunity to employ workers at a lower cost. As a result, working hours increased and wages decreased. Workers are compelled to lead an inhuman life in the cities. Increasing mechanization has begun to show its effect in rural areas as well, with the mechanization in agriculture, the workforce of the villagers has decreased, and their lands have been taken away from them by means of banks and they have been forced to migrate. Some artists could not remain indifferent to these difficult life conditions experienced by the workers, and they dealt with this subject in their works. This situation brought with it a new understanding of literature. This understanding is the "Socialist Realist" understanding of art, the foundation of which was laid in Soviet Russia in 1934. With this understanding, a number of duties and ideologies have been imposed on the artist and the artist. In this study, in addition to the universality and literary similarity of the subjects of John Steinbeck and Orhan Kemal, two writers from different geographies in the context of SocialistRealistic Literature understanding, the social and political reasons why Orhan Kemal could not achieve such a great reputation as Steinbeck despite this literary success are both sociological and sociological. and will be examined from the perspective of comparative literature. Key words: Socialist Literature, Orhan Kemal, John Steinbeck.
