question
"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
answer
Coleridge used dreams as the inspiration for both "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan." He claimed to have dreamt "Kubla Khan" word for word, after falling asleep while reading a passage about the real Kubla Khan, a figure in Chinese history. He modeled "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" on a dream of his friend Mr. Cruikshank. In both poems, Coleridge writes of fantastic events that have a dreamlike (or nightmarish) quality. People have been fascinated by dreams for centuries and have developed many theories over the years about their cause and significance. Today, psychologists and biologists know that dreams occur during a stage of sleep called REM, or rapid eye movement, and some researchers believe that dreams are caused by random chemical stimuli in the brain. The brain tries to make sense of the activity, and the result is a dream. The meaning of dreams is a topic of controversy. Although dreams bear some relation to events and emotions that occur in waking hours, the nature of that relationship remains unclear.
