Dreamworld: The Diary of an Unconscious Mind

Dreams are odd little treasures, aren't they? In a way, they're nothing but middles- experiences with neither formal beginnings nor suitable ends. But what magnificent middles they are.



Dreamworld: The Diary of an Unconscious Mind is, then, a simple book of middles: a collection of normally abnormal adventures plucked from pure moments of sleep. It is written to paint a new world, the Dreamworld, as something unique, personal, and unquestionably creative.



This first volume spans 96 stories of skipping, screaming, running, sweating, stabbing, laughing, crying, flying and the occasional death. There are murder mysteries and gender swaps, nightmares and ecstasies, zombie hordes and Nicholas Cage, and all the ridiculous impossibilities existing in between. And that's just the first four years of it. Hundreds more tales, all of them true, remain yet to be told.



But do not mistake this small book of middles for a guide of symbols and signs; for the key to dreams rarely lies in a dictionary of dictating imagery. Instead reflect, look within, and realize the mind is at play. Try not to fret over horrors and fears, and let your dreams simply be. Because there is a simple joy in recalling the impossible, in discussing the strange, reliving the unreal, and waking from perfect absurdity.
