Abstract

A dream is a psychological phenomenon that contains the disguised wishes of the dreamer. This study aims to interpret Hoodoo’s dream meaning based on Hoodoo’s journey in the Hoodoo novel. This study has two analytical focuses. First, this thesis analyzes the heroic journey of a teenager to reveal destiny using The Hero's Journey theory. Second, this analysis explains the meaning of the hero's dreams which are the background of his heroic journey using Sigmund Freud's theory of Interpretation of Dreams.In its method, this study uses a qualitative descriptive method to explain the meaning of dreams hidden in Hoodoo's dreams, which are the background of his heroic journey. The data collected, drawn from the heroic journey, dreams, and experiences of Hoodoo.In the novel, Hoodoo by Ronald L. Smith, the researcher discusses the meaning of Hoodoo’s dream. This study revealed several meanings of Hoodoo’s dreams based on each event of the hero’s journey. The several dreams reveal Hoodoo’s childhood, Oedipus complex, trauma, phobia, anxiety, self-proof, and regret. The first dream revealed the measures childish. The second dream revealed the Oedipus complex. The third dream revealed Hoodoo’s trauma and phobia. The fourth dream showed Hoodoo’s anxiety. The last dream is divided into two scenes. The first scene revealed Hoodoo’s self-proof, the second scene revealed the void. The significant reason behind Hoodoo's dreams is caused by the infantile fear of missing a beloved person. This infantile fear is shown at the beginning of the story when Hoodoo wants to know what caused his father’s death. The fulfillment wishes of Hoodoo's dream are to understand why his father died, which is known as the beloved person. These repressed wishes are the main reason why Hoodoo wants to fulfill his hero’s journey.
