Dream fiction is a genre of literature that explores the world of dreams and the unconscious mind. It is characterized by stories that take place within the dream realm or feature dreams as a central theme. Dream fiction often blurs the line between reality and the dream world, creating surreal and otherworldly landscapes that challenge the reader’s perceptions and beliefs.
One of the most famous examples of dream fiction is Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, which takes the protagonist on a surreal journey through a dreamlike world. Other notable works of dream fiction include “The Sandman” by Neil Gaiman, which explores the world of dreams and mythology, and Haruki Murakami’s “Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World”, which intertwines the dream world with a dystopian reality.
It is also a popular theme in films and television shows, with notable examples including “Inception” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. These works often explore the power of dreams and the unconscious mind to shape our perceptions of reality and reveal hidden truths about ourselves.
