Dreamwork is a book about the ideas, dreams, dreads and ideals we
have regarding work. Its central argument is that, although we
depend on the idea of work for our identity as humans, we feel we
must disguise from ourselves the fact that we do not know what work
is. There is no example of work that nobody might under some
circumstances do for fun. All work is imaginary – which is not to
say that it is simply illusory, but rather that, in order to count
as work, it must be imagined to be work; so that a large part of
what we mean by working is this work of imagining. Work is
therefore essentially mystical – just the opposite of what it is
taken to be. Dreamwork looks in turn at worries about whether or
not work is hard; the importance of places of work; the meanings of
hobbies, holidays and sabbaths; and the history of dreams of
redeeming work.
