A Book of Dreams

A collection of stories originating in dreams. We use the word dream, and dreaming, for many imaginings that are not the dreams we have in sleep. These stories are based on dreams I had sleeping, but that were added to, filled out, polished. The fragments we remember of dreams dreamt in the night are more often than not bits and pieces that rarely make a story. What if dreams are something else, something more? Dreams may be a link to our innermost "wild" that hides in the deep dark of our civilized ("tamed") selves. What of dreams of the future-a warning? According to scientists who study dreams, "we cannot be healthy without them."
