论梦与电影造梦

Dream and the Dream Making of Films

本文将梦视作叙述文本,尝试从叙述学的角度,结合梦的叙述特性与电影文本的叙述特征来讨论梦与电影的结构性相似。一方面,梦与电影文本在产生与发送方面存在相似性;另一方面,观影体验与做梦也有共通之处。本文主要从文本的叙述主体、发送以及接收三个方面来探讨电影的"梦特性",分别涉及梦与电影的叙述主体、叙述语言,梦与电影的接收体验以及梦者与观众的认知接收等方面的异同。电影叙述与梦叙述一样,叙述主体主要呈现为框架而非人格,主要的叙述语言均为图像,再加上两种叙述同为演示类,又具有强烈的拟经验性,从而使两种叙述的接收也具有结构性相似。本文将观影作为一种梦境体验,进一步探讨观众对电影的接收以及做梦者对梦的接收两者的认知异同。

Taking dreams as narrative texts,this essay aims to explore the structural similarities between dreams and films from the semio-narratological perspective,including how film-making mimics the characteristics of dreams,how the experience of watching a movie is similar to experiencing the dream,and how the cognition of the audience and the dreamers are similar to each other.The narrators of both the dreams and films are usually presented not as a person,but a frame,who tell stories in images.Since the two narratives are similarly produced and disseminated,watching a movie is like experiencing a dream.The dreamer and the audience both,in the darkness,project themselves to the specific characters in the story,thus having their oppressed desires fulfilled in a fantasy as well as getting to know themselves through the characters.
