ABSTRACT

But now, with Johnson . . . it was a complete change of method that interested me. . . . What I wanted to do was to take my characters out of time. . . . You can do it in a dream play . . . because in our dreams we do actually lead a genuine if very confused, four dimensional existence. In dreams not only are we free of the usual limitations of time and space, not only do we return to our past and probably go forward to our future, but the self that apparently experiences these strange adventures is a more essential self, of no particular age.
