From dreams realistic and reminiscent to the world of nightmare and phantasmagoria, from the bizarre and ridiculous to the perplexing and haunting, this anthology draws on the dreams of a wide variety of novelists, poets, playwrights, and others to explore the inexhaustible fascination of dreams and their power as a source of literary inspiration.

Reviews
Review from previous edition A rich fabric of dreaming ... from Latin poets to Louis MacNiece and Yeats ... A truly remarkable assembly * Elizabeth Jennings, Spectator *
a splendid collection ... Stephen Brook could hardly have done the job better * Rosemary Dinnage, TLS *
an ideal companion for the bedside * Time *
Anthologies which transcend themselves and can stand as organic books making serious statements about life [are] very rare, but Stephen Brook's Oxford Book of Dreams is of their number. * Paul Binding, New Statesman *
