These two stories in The Cloud Dream of the Nine and Life is a Dream are based on different backgrounds, but reveal the worldly desires of the people of those days through a contrasting device called reality and dream. To reveal this, both works use different layouts that cross between reality and dreams, reality and fantasy. Also, the actions they have revealed in their dreams are the moments when secular desires are projected beyond the problems of ethics, and the desires hidden inside humans are freely vented. Their cultural representations are expressed differently. In The Cloud Dream of the Nine, the ethical consciousness of the ruling class is reflected and the ruling ideology of the those days. Similarly, in Life is a Dream the plot is a reproduction of the cultural representations of the Baroque period, which was believed to be a dream but felt confused between reality and dream. In the end, Yang So-yu and Segismundo’s outpouring of desire is only a possible desire in a dream, but it is expressed in two forms, namely, the embodiment of rising in the world and gaining fame and the dismantling of boundary between reality and dreams. In The Cloud Dream of the Nine, Yang So-yu imagine the reality without conflict or frustration, and in Life is a Dream, muddle up reality with dreams and create a cultural reenactment called ‘Baroque’ of disillusionment and instability. In order to talk about cultural representations of those days, they freely reveal their desires beyond the existing ethics, but their desires in the dream are also revealed in a different way in the face of the principles of reality. After all, secular desires are also relative to each culture, and its personality is also a cultural code that is edited.
