You should take note that there are 3 dreams in C&P (at least that I could remember). The first and most famous is in the beginning when Raskolnikov sees himself as a child witnessing a horse being beaten. Then, there is Svidrigaylov's nightmares before his suicide. Then in the epilogue, Raskolnikov has another dream, similar to Ippolite's from The Idiot, where the world ravaged with a plague and everyone thinks everyone else is insane.

At least that is based solely on my memory.

Thank you Kafkaesque! Smiley :)I will re-read  C&P as soon as I can.The thing that I hate about my university is that you have to know the most famous works of 20 authors in great detail.And you dont know what you can get on your exams Cry

Probably guilt of conscience lead the dream to let his victims avenge themselves on his pyshe.
