This book explores the intersections between dreaming and the
literary imagination, in light of the findings of recent
neurocognitive and empirical research, with the aim to lay a
groundwork for an empirically informed aesthetics of dreaming.
Drawing on perspectives from literary theory, philosophy of mind
and dream research, this study investigates dreaming in relation to
creativity and waking states of imagination such as writing and
reading stories. Exploring the similarities and differences between
the 'language' of dreams and the language of literature, it
analyses the strategies employed by writers to create a sense of
dream in literary fiction as well as the genres most conducive to
this endeavour. The book closes with three case studies focusing on
texts by Kazuo Ishiguro, Clare Boylan and John Banville to
illustrate the diverse ways in which writers achieve to 'translate'
the experience and 'language' of the dream.
