Ago Jakupi's Dreams: The Semiotics of Oniric Discourse

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims at providing an overview of the oneiric discourse in fiction. The short story “How Ago Jakupi found God’s way” (Qysh e gjeti Ago Jakupirrugën e Zotit), from the author Mitrush Kuteli, shows us how dream works as a generator of fiction and its particularity. In the story about the old man that seeks God’s way, the oneiric sign which comes from “the other” world, puts into the function the coordinates of the subconscious and the divine. Entering into the dream world, which as a fictional text, is doubly fictional, and receiving divine signals or signals from the subconscious show or initiate the changing fate of the protagonist and the changing of the narrative course. The author incorporates the dream as a deux ex machine tactic, where do the narrative and philosophical worlds confront, synthesizing the two fundamental philosophical concepts of the human being: his inner voice and the relation to the supernatural. According to the symbolism of dreams and their interpretation, here, whether dreams represent the dialog with the subconscious or they refer to the divine revelation, as a supernatural approach, we will mostly rely on the biblical interpretation of dreams. By reading the language of dreams, interpreting their signs, symbols and their meanings, we intend to represent the space and function that oneiric discourse has in the literary work of MitrushKuteli, as an author of Albanian literary modernity.
