SEN A UNIWERSUM SYMBOLICZNE (NA PRZYKŁADZIE POWIEŚCI MŁODOPOLSKIEJ)
DREAM AND SYMBOLICAL UNIVERSE (ON THE EXAMPLE OF POLISH MODERNIST NOVEL)

Summary/Abstract: Dream is the most frequently described psychic process in Modernist novel. It is about revealing the state of human soul and reaching for the truth hidden deep inside it. There are meaning otherwise unavailable, by which a human being has a different view of the outside world and can understand mysteries he would never expect to exist. The symbolical universe activated within a dream contradicts the univocal character of the relation real – unreal, there is no natural obligation to search for hidden analogies in a dream, but an infinite production of meaning. This symbolical universe opposes Plato’s interpretation, according to which the world of dreams is the world of ideas, pure experiences, free from randomness, while the real world is the shadow of a shadow, though originating from the psychology of depth.
