This article provides an in-depth exploration of the dream motif in Karakalpak folk epics, focusing on its symbolic, psychological, narrative, and moral functions. Dreams in these epics are not mere narrative ornaments; rather, they serve as powerful tools for revealing divine will, expressing collective wisdom, and guiding the moral and emotional development of the hero. The study examines how dream episodes reflect the Karakalpak worldview, where the spiritual and material worlds coexist and interact. Through concrete examples from well-known epics, the paper demonstrates that dreams act as bridges between the human and supernatural realms, embodying the people’s beliefs, fears, and hopes.
