The fictional Oliver Stone is alienated from the stultifying
American nation in which he lives, and, abandoning his parents and
his Ivy League education for Vietnam, he encounters a hell far more
brutal than he could have ever imagined - a world of barroom
whores, psychedelic drugs, and killing fields of indescribable
proportions. His head torn apart, his emotions sundered, he begins
an epic voyage that will lead him through the Merchant Marine, an
unceremonious return to American soil, and a flight into madness
south of the border into Mexico. "A Child's Night Dream" is a visit
into the unconscious mind, a work that celebrates the power of
dreams, propelling us to the brink of reality and then steering us
back to calmer waters.
