Phenomenology of human imagination and ontology of its dream images according to Gaston Bachelard

Abstract

In its study of the structure of the human imagination, the Bachlarian research is concerned with looking at “dream, poetic, or artistic images in general.” It is based on a detailed analysis of the activity of perception, the imagined power, and what comes out of them between what belongs to the past, which is produced by sensory memory and stirred by imagination, and is often represented in images of memories of places Familiarity or its equivalent, and what is produced by pure imagination, however, appears to be a semi-realistic world, and it is of the same kind as the images of the imaginary, which try to absorb two temporal moments that start from the present to live in the future, and some of them are mixed with past images, and are connected to daydreaming dreams in the present extending into the future. Thus, the image belongs to more than one time point from which it emerges, and to more than one reference.
