ONEIROSPHERE: LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL ASPECTS OF DREAM
Keywords:
Oneirosphere, dream narratives, symbolism, linguistic structures, Uzbek folklore, English dream interpretation, pragmatics of dreams.Abstract
The concept of the Oneirosphere, or the dream realm, has been a subject
of interest in linguistic and cultural studies. This article explores the linguistic structures,
cultural significance, and pragmatic aspects of dream narratives in English and Uzbek
traditions. By analyzing symbolic meanings, lexical variations, and discourse functions of
dreams, this study provides a comparative perspective on how different cultures perceive
and interpret the dream world. The findings highlight the intricate relationship between
language, culture, and the subconscious, revealing that the Oneirosphere serves as both a
linguistic archive and a reflection of societal worldviews.
