Self-narrative, or about sensitive and universal narration of a Dreamer

Abstract

The article is a presentation of the authoress’ concept of dreams in the sense of telling stories about yourself, or the so-called self-telling. It means that a meaningful part here is played by a firstperson narration of a dreamer, the sensitivity of which is determined by caring for oneself, but also for others. People are actors accompanied by the creation of themselves. They create themselves as works of art are created. However, they do not exist for themselves, on the contrary they exist thanks to other people and for other people. The phenomenon of dreams is a universal experience, because it affects all people creating their aesthetically and ethically subtle world(s) as a common good. The self-ritual in the form of self-telling is a borderline experience permeated by the element of the sacred. Therefore, it is also a magical experience, the sensitive narrative of the dreamer as if it creates the world. Universal nature of dreaming requires the search for a magical space not only for first-person (small) narratives, but also for new, more extensive and large narratives that may help improve interpersonal relationships, raise morale, strengthen communities.
