Summary/Abstract: This article concerns the transposition of lucid dream (LD) from the field of ‘sleep psychology,’ onto literary practice. Adam Wiedemann’s short story collection Sceny łóżkowe [Bedroom Scenes] serve Dalasiński as a literary case study that allows him to demonstrate that within the ‘dream literature,’ LD is an autonomous convention based on non-oneiric post-realism. The distinctive features of this convention are anti-mimetism, linguistic representation, surfiction and the creativity of reality (defined in a constructivist way).
