## Article Content

[Dream Guests](/en/detay/dream-guests-book-01ce2/llms.txt) (*Rüya Misafirleri*) is a collection of poems written by **Zümrüt Karabudak**. Published in July 2024 as part of Dergâh Publications' **Turkish Literature** series, the work consists of 56 pages.

### **Subject and Themes**

The poems in the book address themes such as love, loneliness, inner transformation, and the fragility of relationships through images that transition between night and day. Written in a first-person narrative, the poems convey scenes of emotional togetherness and internal states to the reader through the metaphorical framework of the concept of dreams.

The prominent themes are:

- **Between Dream and Reality:** The imagery of night and day reflects the effect of the dream world on the subconscious.
- **Love and Longing:** The theme of longing is structured around the verses, "When you enter my dream, how my heart overflows / as heavy as rivers that do not fit in their bed."
- **Loneliness and Existential Waiting:** The line, "A person also carries traces of their destiny on their forehead," expresses the individual's existential loneliness and waiting.
- **Spiritual and Emotional Depth:** Spiritual dissolution and inner states are conveyed through images like patience, soap, and secrets.

### **Narration and Style**

Karabudak uses a symbolic language based on concise and intense expressions in her poems. A rhythmic structure and recurring images, along with the theme of night, are prominent in her verses. In lines such as, "Into the teacup I filled to the brim with captivity / for the first time, a man of the heart left a rose petal," emotional themes are explored through introspective descriptions.
