Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the function of the dream as an organizing element in some of Koliqi’s and Kuteli’s stories and in a poem written by F. Gunga. In the case of Koliqi and Kuteli the approach will focus on the narrative function of dreaming (especially in such stories as “The dream of a summer afternoon”, “The wonderful bride” or “Great is the calamity of sin” ). Koliqi uses the dream as a narrative catalyst while Kuteli uses it as a narrative revelation.In the case of F. Gunga’s poem we aim to analyse the elements of stylistics register and the syntax of the text. F. Gunga’s poem is characterized by a very distinctive and striking feature, such as the analogy between poetic discourse and dream discourse.
