Resumo

Graphic novel published between 1989 and 1996, Sandman follows the journey of the eponymous character, ruler of the dreaming world and entity who exists since the beginning of time.In A dream of a thousand cats (1990), Sandman becomes a cat.The story presents a domestic cat that intends to change the world through dreams.Taking this into account, this paper aims to analyze the symbols in the narrative and the utopic construction through the act of dreaming.To that end, the following will be used: Chevalier e Gheerbrant (2015), in order to support the analysis of the symbols present in the work; Bloch (1995), for the discussion on dreams as utopic thinking; and Jung ( 2016), for the reflections upon the conceptions of dream as a symbol.At last, through the aforementioned readings, in addition to the thorough analysis of the graphic novel under discussion, it can be noticed that the dreaming is what leads the process of the utopic construction presented in the narrative.
