Abstract

This study analyzes Qays ibn Al-Khateem’s poem “anna sarabti” to show the complexities of dream and its impact on the artistic structures and literary aesthetics of the poem. The study adopted the literary psychoanalytic approach as a theoretical framework. The analysis of the study revealed that the poet was hunted by his dreams that served as an outlet allowing him to evade his bitter life. Also, it showed that the poet succeeded in employing dream in his poem as an appropriate medium through which he was able to achieve his daydreams, desires and endeavor for the redemption of the reality of his bitter life.
