Summary/Abstract: Miloš Crnjanski published the novel Migrations in 1929, and the Second Book of Migrations in 1962. Slobodan Vladušić considers Milorad Pavić’s Dictionary of the Khazars the Third Book of Migrations. In the essay “Pavić and the Good Homeland”, moreover, he writes about the migration of the Khazars into dreams, which represent the homeland of Adam’s body. Still, it should be borne in mind that for the Khazars, a dream is a “state of clear consciousness” and “the moment of the highest fulfilment of life”. In this context, the Khazar dreams should be compared with the dream of Vuk Isaković and the Serbian people about Russia, the star and the possibility of a New Serbia in which they would preserve their identity.
