Träume

Dreams are as old as storytelling itself, and they often say more about us than we give them credit for. This volume puts that variety at the center and gathers texts that show dreams from very different sides.

Stories, essays and short pieces are gathered here. They deal with wishing, fear and memory, and show how dreams influence decisions. In addition, there are contributions from the journal “Am Erker”, which address reading, daydreaming and the sleep of reason.

The traces of the unconscious run through literature, and this volume adds new examples. In the end, the question remains how much of the dream lives on in everyday life. The book is volume 71 of the “Am Erker” series.
