Abstract

This study aims to identify the depiction of the inner nature of dream’s
expression in Poe’s three selected poems to expose the dynamic vibration of
desire, emotion, thought from the modification of mind. The perspective on
the omniscient narration of Poe’s is depicted to the three dream poems
within which the inner nature of the character, including the past hopes,
thoughts, feelings and the will to liberate the pain. The analysis adopts the
authorical voice models which operates the speaker within the literary
works of dream theme. For Poe, The vision and the predicament of young
adulthood, and the dreams in the mid adult men should be a spirit guiding,
the best learning of realities, and a lovely semblance of realities in their
coloring of life respectively. They should be deamed as the landscape of a
kind of huge spider-web of the expression within the finest silken threads of
the will, desire, and thought. Poe was the opinion that the imaginary in the
mind of human being, the belief within the innermost of the heart, and the
achievement toward any probabilities are the dynamic mind in motion like
traveling to the medium of an expression of the dream’s vision.
