The aim of my article is to describe the word “dream” and its meanings in the Leśmian’s poetry. The phrase itself is one of the most significant words which adds to Leśmian's works. In the first part I have done analyzis of grammatical categories of the word “dream” and I have distinguished three of them - verbal, adjectival and noun. Besides, I have analized the phrase-in question's word-formation. The conclusion I have drawn is that the nouns have been transformed with low frequency but at the same time, they represent the largest word group. Different tendency can be noticed in the case of verbal and adjectival categories, the later being the least numerous. In the second part, I have examined the commonest semantic meanings of the word “dream” . In Lesmian’s poetic toms “dream” has a variety of meanings. The commonest are - a daydream, a vision, to dream, physiology. Also it means: a phantom, death, a nightmare, a nice dream, to create, to dream a dream, slow, mysterious, vague. In conclusion, I thin it is worth indicating that although the word “dream” is ubiquitous in the Leśmian's poetry, it is not essential for recognizing the “dream” as a motive or a subject of poet’s works.
