"Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty . . . weaves a brilliant analysis of the
complex role of dreams and dreaming in Indian religion, philosophy,
literature, and art. . . . In her creative hands, enchanting Indian
myths and stories illuminate and are illuminated by authors as
different as Aeschylus, Plato, Freud, Jung, Kurl Godel, Thomas
Kuhn, Borges, Picasso, Sir Ernst Gombrich, and many others. This
richly suggestive book challenges many of our fundamental
assumptions about ourselves and our world."--Mark C. Taylor, "New
York Times Book Review"
"Dazzling analysis. . . . The book is firm and convincing once you
appreciate its central point, which is that in traditional Hindu
thought the dream isn't an accident or byway of experience, but
rather the locus of epistemology. In its willful confusion of
categories, its teasing readiness to blur the line between the
imagined and the real, the dream actually embodies the whole
problem of knowledge. . . . [O'Flaherty] wants to make your mental
flesh creep, and she succeeds."--Mark Caldwell, "Village Voice
