Abstract

The concept of the Oneirosphere, or the dream world, is a fertile ground for linguistic and cultural investigation. This article explores the linguocultural dimensions of the Oneirosphere by analyzing dream-related symbolism, metaphor, and culturally embedded interpretations in English and Uzbek traditions. Drawing on dream dictionaries, folklore, and linguistic data, it aims to highlight how different cultures conceptualize dreams, how these conceptualizations are reflected in language, and what this reveals about collective worldviews.
