Abstract
The employment of dreams has appeared in modern narrative texts of all kinds, within various imaginative dimensions. The narration here depends on the construction of the dream as a narrative technique that supports other narrative techniques, and other entire narrative texts are based on the imagined dream experience, and may rely on realistic dreams as stated by their authors, which gives them an independent artistic identity (the art of dreams narrating), which stands between the modern narrative arts: the novel, the short story, the very short story in its fictional structure, and the dream in its real and imaginary space.
The research chose to work on a modern experience of this art (narrative dreams) by the Saudi writer and critic Hassan Al-Naimi, as he goes to reveal the formation of dreams in these short narrations, and how they opened to the two dimensions: real and imaginary, and focuses on them as short stories with a narrative style characterized by characteristics linguistically, visually, semantic and culturally related to the psychological and social worlds that affect and are affected by the nature of dreams themselves.
The research tends to employ semiotics by looking at the symbolic nature of dreams and the relationship between signs and their implications, in addition to their imaginative and symbolic nature after writing and concluded this written experiment which was formed between two worlds of paper and digital writing and effected its milestones, as well as it was formed between the parallel dream of reality and the very short story, and other categories with its imaginative dimension, which formed other binaries: context and parallel context, and this binary achieved a strong context harmony and coherence, in addition to the semantic symbiosis, the seer and narrator; which formed a diversity of self-presence between the dreaming self (the seer), the artistic self (the narrator), the literary self (personal) and the critical self that controls the writing paths. As well as the binary of reality and imagination is an important center of the dreams, based to three important elements: item of dream itself/ the parallel to the reality, and the seer receives his dream and interpretation and creation to writing, imagination the dream and transferring it to a narrative form .
