- Summary:
- A timely account of the ways in which we think about and recount our dreams. If we all know what it is to dream, we also know how difficult it is to describe dreams. They render words inadequate, and yet once the dream has vanished, words are all we have. In Dreamtelling, Pierre Sorlin looks not at dreams so much as what we say about them: their influence on our imaginations and creativity; the theories we form to elucidate them and the impulse behind that; the patterns that emerge in accounts of dreams and their individuality, which thwarts consistent interpretation.
