The article comprises a description and an interpretation of the most significant meanings of Russów in Maria Dąbrowska’s accounts of her night dreams included in her memoir. The author concludes by saying that Dąbrowska’s dreams about the place where she was born and where spent her childhood make up an entire oniric constellation, whereas the discussion of them he offers contributes to the already existing body of criticism on the mythical role of Russów in the life and literary output of the author of Nights and Days. Thus Russów is described as the root of the writer’s personal identity, and the images of the place appearing in her dreams signal an intense experience which goes beyond sense perception.
