Developments in the field of internet, television, video, radio, camera, satellites, photography, mobile phones shakes the reality in the postmodern era. The postmodern subject is completely surrounded by simulations. The cell phone is indispensable for their life. They are on the mobile phone in a large part of the day. The thousands of simulated images seen on the phone screen are indispensable for their lives. Computer, camera, television, radio, photography are the other simulation tools that surround them. For the subjects exposed to all this, the simulation is more real than the actual reality because these are the things that determine their life. There are hyperrealities in this period that lost reality. In hyperreality, the border between reality and the unreal (dream, representation, simulation) ceases to exist. How does the loss of reality shows its influence in literary works? In literary works, this situation shows itself intensely, in the use of the dream too much. This situation, when it reaches a somewhat further dimension, the reality and the dream world intertwine, the boundary line between the two becomes blurred and starts to erase. Since the criterion of reality and fantasy / fiction is gone, it can not be precisely determined what is reality, what is fantasy / fiction in these works. They are intertwined. Bilge Karasu is one of the writers approaching reality with doubt. That is why, the boundary line between the reality and dream is blurred in his some works. The boundary between reality and dream is destroyed in his works named Guide, Night, Six Months One Autumn, A Long Day’s Evening, “The Man Who Misses Car From Night To Night”, “The Garden of the Departed Cats”, “Dream Fishermen: Kubadabad 1955”.
