Özet:

According to Sigmund Freud, dreams are expressions of unrealized feelings which remains under subconscious. Dreams in the context of psychoanalysis as put forward by Freud at first, profoundly influenced many branches of art. Perhaps their most notable influence has been in literature and cinema, with allows psychoanalytic reading. Many cinema theorists believe that cinema is experienced as a dream for both directors and audiences. This study focuces upon dream phenomenon in the context of psychoanalysis and cinema. It examines one of Turkish cinema's leading directors, Semih Kaplanoglu, and awardwinning Yusuf Trilogy of films individually titled Egg, Milk, Honey. Using a content analysis method, this study addresses a lack of psychoanalytic analysis in the study of Turkish cinema. It contributes to the understanding of Turkish cinema in relationship to psychoanalysis by showing the many psychoanalytic references, particularly in traces of the director’s personal life experiences, within the Yusuf triology of films.
