The purpose of this article is to try to answer the question of how the idea of a dreamy house came to its creative realization in the poetry of Tadeusz Gajcy. According to Gaston Bachelardʼs philosophical conception, the initial memory of family home, the nostalgic returns to the lost childhood land, is just a threshold leading to the identification of deeper meanings. The house of our longings transformed by the dreamdestroys the feeling of passing, and thus represents the specific embodiment of the idea of eternity. The French anthropologist introduced the notion of a dreamy house for the purposes of literary research, which evokes in the space of literary images the archetypal image of pra-haven hidden in the depths of existence. Discovered by the poet as the seat of the inner indwelling, it is often referred to by reality as a backdrop for dreams of infinity. What is worth emphasizing, in Gajcyʼs poetry the poetic imagery of the dreamy house as an absolute value, shaping and saving humanity is built upon the foundations of personal relationships.

In childhood, Tadeusz Gajcy was an altar boy. Every morning, he must have listened to fragments of liturgical texts. Stories full of extraordinary events and miracles – undoubtedly affecting the childʼs imagination – come alive in his poetry at the level of naive consciousness. Poetic dreams seem to be stretched between the family room and everyday life woven into the rhythm of church life. The memory of the time spent serving at the altar allows the poet to treat the temple as a home, archetypical symbol of the inner refuge against sinister forces. Thus, hidden in the depths of the subconscious, the archetype is the foundation for the most powerful, cosmic dreams of happiness, the center from which the imagined contents of internal life soaked in richness flow from. In this article, using the Bachelardʼs categories of “oniric home” and “dreaming memory”, I ponder how the childhood archetype revived by memories evokes happy dreams. I come to the conclusion that the factor motivating their emergence are religious experiences marked by visionary eschatology. I explore relationships between the experience of the liturgical activities derived from childhood and the work of creative imagination. Simultaneously, I reflect on the essence and symbolic value of things transposed to the world of creative ideas.
