Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problem of oneiric motives in the novel The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Onirism seems to be the leading tendency of the created world in the Bulgakov’s novel. The heroes come through the complex structure of the presented world by means of their dreams. Bulgakov shows their life as the initiation path, which starts in the material world, then evaluates into astral dimensions, and reaches the eternity. Moreover, in the novel one can notice three basic types of dreams, which had been classified by Plato.
