Abstract

The article describes ways of interpretation of dreams based on language assonance (rhyme, anaphora, anagram etc.) as a specific type of verbal magic. The genre of interpretation of dreams is defined through the archaic function of divination and prophecy applied in the process of interpretation, as well as through language archaism of magic qualities of sound repetitions that shape a binary interpretive formula. Motivation of symbolic meanings based on sound proximity of words give an idea about ways of creating a mythopoetic image of the world and peculiarities of archaic language thinking.
