Abstract
The aim of this study is to demonstrate how Olga Tokarczuk uses the oneiric (dream vision) to “interpretˮ the fundamental forms of existence through artistic means. The dream functions as a “palimpsestˮ of the dialectics of the human psyche, which is an individual, subject-specific filtration and processing of the collective unconscious–that is, of the archetypal foundation. The hermeneutics of the dream as an event sequence allows for the delineation of existential structures, with their philosophical and psychological modalities. Such a perspective provides a new optic on the meaning of existence and conceptual definitions.
The methods used include: semantic analysis, psychological interpreta-tion, and the comparative method.
Key words: dream, psyche, individuation, existence, death, life, unconscious
