Because the word "dream" is often usede in the literature of the Heian period in Japan, and because a large number of diary entries on dreams have been found, scholars have been focusing on the "dream" as one of the major themes of these works of literature. Among the memoirs of the Heian period, this work in particular, and its author, Lady Sarashina(also known as Sugawara no Takasue no musume), are perhaps best understood in terms of the "dream" theme. So much so, in fact, that the author of Sarashina Diary is described as "adreaming girl." In previous research on Sarashina Diary, many scholars have commented on the author's religious consciousness in relation to the "dream." The current article draws on this research to consider the relationship between Sarashina Diary's structure and dreams.
