In the House of Night A Dream Reader

Navratil is intrigued by the relation of dreams to the dreamer's everyday reality. What do the strange visions manifested in our sleep have to do with day-to-day functions that make up our life? If they are fabricated from such ordinary threads, why are they often so surreal, & yet so hyper-real? Here Navratil has collected a number of pieces by well-known writers, most from the 20th century, who have captured, through a descriptive ordering of images & symbols, the ephemeral quality of a dream while at the same time creating a compelling narrative in fiction, poetry, or prose. Navratil has arranged these passages by theme: asleep & awake; desire & love; sorrow & remorse; identity & discovery; anxiety & neurosis, death & escape; & inspiration & gratification.Navratil, Christopher is the author of 'In the House of Night A Dream Reader' with ISBN 9780756763480 and ISBN 0756763487.
