THE DREAMS AND THE INSOMNIA OF BULGARIAN MODERNISM

Summary/Abstract: At the heart of the present study is the poetics of dream; the attempts at dreaming were interpreted in cultural and semiotic terms in some works of the representatives of Bulgarian modernism. The research focuses on the dreams at night and the sleepless nights in P. Yavorov’s poetry, the dreams of Bulgarian Symbolists – a vision of the transcendent (D. Debelyanov, The Dream of Love by Em. Popdimitrov), the insomnia related to Freud's theory of the power of the unconscious by the representatives of Bulgarian diabolism (Sv. Minkov, Vl. Polianov), and the psychological prose of G. Raichev (Short Stories). The connection to the ideas of Young Poland and St. Przybyszewski is also discussed. There is some change in the structure of feelings in the literary process before and after the wars which has its effect on the dreams and the sleepless nights of the modern man.
