Session 402: The Literature of Dreams

The strange, exciting world of dreams. How much it has intrigued people—scientists, writers, poets, and common folk—and continues to puzzle us all. Because it is a dazzling, enchanting realm, writers have been drawn to enter it through poetry and prose, making it one of their tools and opening for them doors that are closed in reality. In this session, we will explore examples of how dreams are used in literature, reading selected poetic and prose samples. Topics: Dreams in cultures. The symbolism of dreams. Novels through dreams. Poetry and dreams.
