The parallel between dreams about love and dreams about creativity is strong, thanks to the neo-Romantic inclinations of the young Irzykowski. It is revealing of his strong rationalism that allows his unfinished project of “dream analysis” to be placed next to Freud’s as one of the key symptoms of modernist revaluation.}, doi = {10.4467/2084395XWI.24.010.19756}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/wieloglos/article/straznik-snow-o-zyciopisaniu-karola-irzykowskiego} }
