Dreams

Résumé

"Dreams" by Olive Schreiner is a collection of eleven short stories published in 1890. Set in the African landscape, these allegorical tales explore profound themes through dream sequences. The collection's most notable story follows a woman's journey through three fragmented dreams, depicting the struggles between Man and Woman, the quest for Freedom guided by figures like Truth and Reason, and visions of a harmonious future. Through symbolic characters and metaphorical crossings, Schreiner examines gender expectations, male dominance, and the difficult path toward equality and freedom.
