Bazala’s understanding of dreams

Ivana Skuhala Karasman

Abstract

Albert Bazala offers his understanding of dreams in his book Psychology in Croatian Artistic Poetry (Psihologija u hrvatskom umjetnom pjesništvu) published in Zagreb in 1901. His starting point are examples taken from various poems by eight Croatian poets: M. Bogović, F. Marković, L. Botić, Gj. Arnold, P. Preradović, D. Demeter, A. Tresić-Pavičić and S. S. Kranjčević. Bazala first deals with the causes of dreams, then with the properties of dreams and finally he explains the connection between dreams and imagination. In his approach to dreams Bazala is influenced by the legacy of the philosophical school of J. F. Herbart, especially by Gj. Arnold and his high-school textbook Psychology for High-schools (Psihologija za srednje škole)
