Abstract
The research aim was to gain a more thorough understanding of the experiences by former prisoners of the trauma
of the time spent in a Nazi concentration camp and reworking it by dreaming. The material comprised 117 written accounts obtained
by psychiatrist Stanisław Kłodziński in the 1970s from 38 former Polish national prisoners of KL Auschwitz-Birkenau (17 women and
21 men). A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the narratives was carried out and two types of dreams were compared in terms
of chosen characteristics: camp and post-camp dreams. Camp experiences and a negative emotional tone occurred significantly more
often in post-camp dreams. The “beauty” and “symbolicity” categories were present significantly more frequently in camp dreams. It
was found that motives related to the time spent in the camp appeared persistently in dreams. This was accompanied by a negative
affect and lack of symbolicity typical of PTSD nightmares.
期刊介绍：
Narrative Inquiry is devoted to providing a forum for theoretical, empirical, and methodological work on narrative. Articles appearing in Narrative Inquiry draw upon a variety of approaches and methodologies in the study of narrative as a way to give contour to experience, tradition, and values to next generations. Particular emphasis is placed on theoretical approaches to narrative and the analysis of narratives in human interaction, including those practiced by researchers in psychology, linguistics and related disciplines.
