Abstract: The study of dreams has long been neglected by narrotologists due to the issue of its narrativity. Based on Zhao Yiheng’s general narratology theory, this study aims to discuss the narrativity of dreams as a fictional para-performative narrative, the narratological interpretation of the dream, and exploring dreams’ function as self-healing systems within the human body from a general narratological perspective.
Keywords: dreams, narrativity, implied author, dreams as self-healing systems
