ABSTRACT

At night you dream six dreams. But are they six dreams? One dream prefigures or anticipates the next, or somehow concludes what hasn’t yet even been fully dreamed. Then comes the next dream, the corrective of the dream before—the alternative dream, the antidote dream— enlarging upon it, or laughing at it, or contradicting it, or trying just to get the dream right. You can go on trying all night long.
