| Summary: | The poetic oeuvre of Đorđe Markovic Koder, airtight, rugged, and non-understandable was written with miraculous, koderic, non-existent language which made of him a marginal writer, and poetic demiurge at the same time. As a passionate Serbian polyglot and speaker of twelve foreign languages, lover of fables, incantations, magic and healing rituals, and secret folk ones, in the time which preceded the standardization of Serbian language, Koder was writing by the language which refused by decades either reading or professional scientific audience from himself due to its incomprehensibility. The ones, who were dealing with Koder's oeuvre, could not commence their research without paying attention to miraculous world of Koder's language-romora and conforming words-beings to it. The author of this paper herself, which represents the first part of the comprehensive oeuvre to the theme of oneiric discourse in poetic heritage of Đorđe Markovic Koder, starts from the thesis in her research on poetic collection of the poet as the immense field of dream, which key for understanding is to be his language. The research is based on five Koder's poems, out of which only Romorankawelcomed printed edition, while other four poems: Dream of Serbian Mother, Devesilje, Mythologies, Iskoni, were preserved in manuscripts. Relying on conceptual apparatus being used in the study of dreams and man's intellectual one known as lucid dreaming, the author in Koder's poems is noticing seven spheres of dream (organizational units of oneiric material), whose hierarchy is difficult or almost impossible to be determined, and which intertwines, permeates and chain up into Koder's works: 1. The Sphere of big Mother, 2.Shepherd's Sphere, 3. Star Sphere, 4. Sphere of Fauna (with subspheres - Turtledove's and Rooster's Sub-sphere), 5. Angels' and Sorceress' Sphere, 6. Sphere of Genius (sphere of lightening - Franklin's sphere), 7. Flora's Sphere. |
