This is a fascinating volume by dream researcher and radio show host Naomi Epel, contains interviews with 26 writers on the impact of dreams upon their creative work. Isabelle Allende sees dreams as a source of information not available elsewhere. Maya Angelou characterizes dreams as deep talk, and Stephen King views them as an illustration of personal problems. Others included are Amy Tan, Maurice Sendak, Reynolds Price, Gloria Naylor, John Sayles, and Anne Rice. For these authors, the link between their dreaming imagination and waking life is vivid and inspirational. As readers, we are the beneficiaries of the soulful outreach of writers' dreams.
