In Paris, Montreal, Seville, Berlin, and towns large and small,
Diane Meur has dreamt - and she has remembered her dreams. In this
small volume the author shares her dreams of the years 2008-10, a
time of global upheaval that happened to coincide with upheavals in
her own life. As she writes in the preface, "They 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." Some dreams are humorous: peeling a
scorpion like a shrimp and finding it isn't 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's dreams share a common
human intimacy - in them we recognize our own innermost thoughts,
concerns, desires, and fears. Accompanied by the otherworldly
illustrations of collage artist Sunandini Banerjee, Meur's dreams
come alive, inspiring our own reveries and becoming part of our
nocturnal imaginings.
