Co się śni zwierzętom? Stefan Flukowski i psychoanaliza
What Do Animals Dream about? Stefan Flukowski and Psychoanalysis

Summary/Abstract: The main aim of the article is an analysis of Stefan Flukowski’s two early short stories, namely "Sen kota" ("Cat’s Dream") and "Sen psa" ("Dog’s dream"), and considerations about the various difficulties with interpreting the pieces. The difficulties result from the narrative experiment used by Flukowski. The Polish writer, like many Inter-wars men of letters, was fascinated by Sigmund Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis, especially by his concept of interpretation of dreams. Signs of the fascination are the short stories, being the subject of the article, which almost entirely make up a record of “literary dreams after psychoanalysis” (Inga Iwasiów’s term). An additional interpretative “difficulty” with which an onirism researcher in literary text has to face is the fact that the protagonists of the pieces, the ones which dream, are animals.
