"The primary dreamer in James Joyce's Finnegans Wake is Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker (HCE), a Dublin pub owner, who represents the Everyman and experiences a vast, cyclical dream encompassing myth, history, and the collective unconscious. While HCE is the central figure, the text itself functions as the dream, a fluid state where characters and identities merge, and the dreamer's consciousness, along with the collective human experience, is constantly shifting and transforming."
