Three Dreams of Anne Frank is a fantasy, an allegorical story involving three fictional dreams Anne has on the night of May 11, 1944 which express the anguish and bravery she must endure from nightly air raids, break-ins to the building where she is hidden, and possible capture. It combines reality and fairy tale elements in Kafkaesque fashion to explore both Anne's frame of mind and the torment that can become the human condition.
