A Study On Gefei’s Narrative Of Dream Imitating

Gefei is a representative writer in contemporary China.He not only occupies a place in avant-garde literature,but also opens up a new path for traditional narration.Whether pioneer or traditional,"dream" has always been the focus of Gefei’s narration.Under the influence of Freud’s interpretation of dreams and Kafka’s dream-like novel,dreams in Gefei’s novel has developed from a dream narrative describing the characters’ dream to the narrative of dream imitating that directly imitates the text into a dream.Narrative of dream imitating abandon predicates with prompting effect such as “dream about”,directly simulate the deductive process of dream narration,make the text appear the characteristics of dreams such as broken overlapping,blurred boundaries,and absurd separation.Gefei’s narrative imitates dreams through narrative structure and narrative strategy.In terms of narrative structure,the narrator outside the story and the narrator inside the story narrate the same core story together,forming a nested structure,which simulates the multiple overlapping sets of dreams.The textual time and story time of each narrative layer are intertwined,the discourse space and story space are overlapped and similar.As a result,the nested narrative layers stick together and imitate the fuzzy boundaries of dreams.At the same time,the narrator who dominates the narrative layer is influenced by the narrator and adjusts the narrative,the original meaning in the narrative layer is adjusted to different layer,which imitates the dispersion of dream meaning.The structure of dream imitating narrative imitates the external characteristics of dream.Gefei’s narrative of dream imitating plays a similar role with the inspection mechanism in the process of dream work,disguised the real intention.Following the condensing effect of the inspection mechanism,the implied author puts the real intention into the text through narrative strategy,turning the plot into absurd,witch makes the text reflect the strange and absurd like a dream.Follow the transposition of inspection mechanism,transfer the narrative emphasis to irrelevant content or transfer self to others,make the dream’s real intention be buried in the place where it is not emphasized.The narratives of dream imitating also divide the complete narrative into two lines or multiple stories,even insert dream narrative to achieve the purpose of dividing the text and meaning,simulates the operation principle of dream through narrative strategy.From the three aspects of the background,evolution and inheritance,significance and value,it interprets the imitation dream,it can be found that Gefei’s narration of dream imitating emerged in the wave of writers writing dreams from the 1980 s to the1990 s.During the development of his creation in the two periods,Gefei’s narration of dream imitating changed in the way of interweaving form and content,and realized the leap from the pioneer of form to the pioneer of spirit;Gefei’s narration of dream imitating has been inherited in the traditional culture,and it helped people return to the ancient dream illusion in traditional culture and get cured.In the social upheaval,the direct meaning of Gefei’s narration of dream imitating is to cure humanity.In addition,under the background of the impact of commerce and entertainment on literature,Gefei chose to write dream-imitating narration,which makes it have the deep meaning of awakening the new birth of pure literature.
