The images of borderline between dream and reality, between reality and the ideal world, as well as the images of mythological opposition are defined. In the article various artistic forms of dream presentation in poetic texts have been disclosed in connection with expression of reflection and philosophical understanding of life by the authors. Dream in lyrics of the Buryat authors is presented as an insight of secret, depth beginnings of life, as a message with a special kind of informativity.
