In Paris, Montreal, Seville, Berlin and towns large and small, Diane Meur has dreamt��nd she has remembered her dreams. In this small volume the author shares her dreams of the years 2008��0,
a time of global upheaval that happened to coincide with upheavals in her own life. As she writes in the preface, ��hey are not my life, they are not my writing, they are just the dreams I
had, remembered, and noted down: all of them, and every part of them, without censure or omission.��/div>

Some dreams are humorous: peeling a scorpion like a shrimp and finding it isn�� half bad; some are poignant: a tiny doll-like baby encountered in a train; and, as in many dreams, there is
much anxiety: old boyfriends encountered again; children in distress; unusual, threatening spaces and people. Though dreamt by the author, Meur�� dreams share a common human intimacy��n
them we recognize our own innermost thoughts, concerns, desires, and fears.

Accompanied by the otherworldly illustrations of collage artist Sunandini Banerjee, Meur�� dreams come alive, inspiring our own reveries and becoming part of our nocturnal imaginings.
