The Book of Dreaming

The narrator starts writing a journal of her dreams. After portraying several picturesque nightmares, she starts dealing with dreams taking place at the cemetery next to which she grew up. Comparing her daydreams with collective fantasies of the otherworld, the author delves into the depths of human subconsciousness and there, at the source of human spirituality, she finds the parallels between dreams and the film medium, equally made of fantasies and illusions where we live experiences that don’t exist in our reality.
