Abstract

The article analyzes artistic visions and dreams as oneiric strategies of prolepsis in the philosophical prose of the early 21st century by Myroslav Dochynets, Halyna Pahutyak, and Halyna Tarasyuk.It is revealed that among the narrative strategies of prolepsis, dreams and visions occupy a prominent place as forms of shifting temporal planes. Myroslav Dochynets, Halyna Pahutyak, and Halyna Tarasyuk use dreams and visions in a number of their philosophical works, rethinking their role and functions in literature.It has been found that the dominant narratological feature for Myroslav Dochynets is the use of dreams and visions in the novels about the sages «Vichnyk», «Krynychar», «Svitovan», in which they are a means of rest, instruction and security. The neo-mythological mystical dream in Halyna Patutyak is the driver of the plot, the creator of the character, a text within the text that needs to be decoded. Visions and prophetic dreams in Halyna Tarasyuk become elements of prophecy in the narrative strategy of prolepsis of Halyna Tarasyuk.It has been proven that traditionally a dream in literature is a means of artistic and psychological analysis, «a way of comprehending the integrity of the character's being», a way to realize the innermost in a person, and in the philosophical prose of Myroslav Dochynets, Halyna Pahutyak and Halyna Tarasyuk it is an honorific narrative strategy of prolepsis.
