Dream in novelistics by Dimitrija Demetra, Rikarda – Fliedera Jorgovanića, Ksavera Gjalskoga, Janka Leskovara, Antuna Gustava Matoša and Vladimira Nazora

Snovi su od samog početka bili u interesu zbog velikog značenja u životu čovjeka. Nastale su mnoge zbirke o njima u kojima su klasificirani i koje govore da je snove potrebno protumačiti. Svaki san nosi poruku koja će nam, ako je pravilno protumačimo, pomoći riješiti problem. Snovi nas potiču da odrastemo. Svaki autor san tumači na drugi način, poput psihologa Freuda i Junga. Freud razvija slobodne asocijacije, a Jung govori kako čovjek sam stvara simbole u obliku snova. Isto koliko je san važan u psihologiji, tako je važan i u književnosti. U književnim djelima san se može opisati i dočarati detaljno. Mogu se vidjeti sve pojedinosti i izdvojiti svi bitni simboli koji će odigrati važnu ulogu. Među prvima u hrvatsku književnost san u djelo uvodi Petar Zoranić u djelu Planine čiji je vrhunac Perivoj od Slave. Nakon njega mnogi autori san, u svojim novelama, koriste za rješavanje problema glavnih junaka; Demeter, Jorgovanić, Gjalski, Leskovar, Matoš, Nazor. Većina junaka navedenih autora san prihvaćaju kao rješenje, dok neki od njih san ignoriraju ili ga prepisuju drugim pojavama. Unatoč tome san je odigrao svoju ulogu i upozorio junake na moguće događaje.Dreams have been appreciated from the very beginning as the interest of meaning in human life. This resulted in many book collections where they were classified, and importance of their interpretation was highlighted. Every dream has a message that can, if properly interpreted, help solve a problem. Dreams encourage us to grow up. The interpretation of dreams in literature is very individual for every author, for instance psychologist Freud and Jung. Freud develops free associations, while Jung says that a person individually creates symbols in the form of dreams. Just as the dream is important in psychology, it is equally as important in literature. In literary works, dream can be described and depicted in detail. All detail sand all essential symbols of a dream, that will play an important role, can be illustrated. Forerunner of Croatian literature that introduced the dream in the literary work was Petar Zoranić, in his novel Planine, whose pinnacle is Park of Glory. Thereafter, many other Croatian authors use the topic of dreams in their novels to solve the problems of the main characters; Demeter, Jorgovanić, Gjalski, Leskovar, Matoš, Nazor. Most of the characters of the aforementioned authors perceive the dream as a solution, however there are some that still ignore the dream or attribute it to other phenomena. Despite this, the dream played its role and informed the main characters about possible outcomes
