August Strindberg's drama A Dream Play (1902) blends reality and a dream in such a way that it is impossible to distinguish between them. Many scholars have commented on these two dimensions of the play, but few have noticed a third, specifically fictional dimension.
The article points out that the text of the drama indicates several times that the entire action might only be a fiction created by one of the play's characters: the Poet. The author of the article argues that this phenomenon adds a metafictional aspect to A Dream Play.
