Features: This book is a work of poetics on dreams told to us in the language of a poet by a phenomenological philosopher. It is divided into five chapters, preceded by a very important preface. It systematically explains the necessity and advantages of introducing phenomenology into the study of poetics, and discusses in chapters the interplay between dream images and science, as well as their reflection in poetics, covering topics such as the dream of words, the pursuit of dreams, and more. The book is profound yet accessible, differing from the language and narrative style of typical philosophical books, which are often difficult to understand. Its theories are exquisite yet highly readable.
