Abstract

Psychological approach helps to get a deeper understanding on literary works. Psychology can be used beneficially in analyzing literary work. Lucy Keating’s “Dreamology” novel will be used as a data source for this research and specifically Alice as the main character. The data will be analyzed by using theory of individual psychology by Adler (1924). Individual Psychology as a constant need to strive to be better and social interest, a person’s attitude to the existing demands in human society. Individual Psychology studies human progression and approach toward life by the effort to strive and to achieve goal. The data will be collected using the library research method proposed by Ratna (2004) which means the researcher does not participate or contribute in the making of the data. The collected data then will be analyzed using the descriptive analysis method proposed by Ratna (2004). Lastly, the result of the research will be presented using the technique of qualitative strategy proposed by Creswell (2014) which means the result will be presented using words and sentences. The results of this research found that Alice’s struggles and obstacles are greatly rooted from Alice’s goal to be with Max. Alice faced six struggles such as trying to confirm that Real Max and Dream Max are the same person, going to the Center of Dream Discovery to get more information, explaining her relationship with Max to Celeste, going to Maine to find Margaret Yang, accepting her mother abandonment when she was younger, fixing her relationship with Max. Alice also faced four obstacles such as feeling anxious during the test in CDD, loneliness because of her mother abandonment, terrified that the dream will be gone, hopeless due to the disappearance of the dream.
