Originally published in a 1990 collection of the same name, and later in the anthology Red Plaid Shirt, "The Man of My Dreams" pulls us into a place where we too wonder what is real and what is dreamed, and how our dreams reflect love, loss, and everyday life.

Red Plaid Shirt shines with Diane Schoemperlen's fresh and often deadpan comedic voice, offering a compulsively readable mix of deeply felt emotion and finely wrought intellect. The collection was shortlisted for the Upper Canada Brewing Company Writers' Craft Award.
