„Ocknieni ze snu, przypomnieć nie mogą widzeń podobnych do ognia i róży” — o tym, kto kogo śni i zmyśla w cyklu Bolesława Leśmiana Aniołowie

The article discusses complications connected with the dream motif in Aniołowie (Angels) poetic
cycle by Bolesław Leśmian. Title creatures, who seem to be just an obsolate cultural idea and a human
dream or imagination, at the same time really do exist (some special way) and even dream themselves.
Erotic relations with humans are the main theme of their dreams. In fact, humans dream of themselves
(angels are their mirror), trying to catch and display their own existence in its deepest reality. The Leśmian
cathegories of dreaming and “song without words” conneccted with the ritual sense of art and with the
mythical thinking, determine poetic efforts to reintegrate the existence completeness in Aniołowie cycle.
