Abstract
This article looks into dream narratives about COVID-19 in terms of cognitive narrative theory. Our research aims at modeling the typical narrative space configuration of a dream report. The article identifies explicit linguistic tags and implicit markers of the epistemic status of narrative spaces as real-world or dream-world. The study further explores the linear vs. parallel relationships between the narrative spaces of the main dream-world and auxiliary real-world narration sequences.
