Dreaming is a part of the human experience that is not fully understood, but is certainly much discussed and studied. From Sigmund Freud's Interpretation of Dreams to the recent NYT bestseller, Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker, Ph.D., there is a perennial interest in the purpose and meaning of dreams. Presented here is an original anthology of dreams that appear in literature, both fiction and nonfiction. The selections reflect the experience of dreams from within by the characters or the authors, and all come from material published up until Sigmund Freud presented his controversial and influential theories.
