Dream and Poetry

Summary/Abstract: Poetry (traditionally encompassing lyric verse, drama and epical works) and dreaming are both a matter of our lived experience, which in this case does not relate to the immadiate realities of our environment, and, at the same time, can also not be called „fictional”, because, strictly speaking, there are no „fictional” experiences. Epical poetry can tell a „fictional” story, and its experience is can be very real, and lyrical poems are never „fictional”, and they also offer the possibility of real experience. The relationship between poetry and dreaming could rather be summarized as: myth and evocation of ancient forces vs. real occurence and wakefulness during sleep; the mysteries of real life and accounts of human destiny vs. actual, yet codified, significance; analysis of mysteries and searching for myths vs. useful diagnostic tool, respectively: pastime and amusement, playing with evocation and narration vs. no significance whatsoever.
