Dreams are the imagination set truly free by sleep. For the stories in this book, sleep is not necessary. The dreams come alive through the imagination of the author; and what dreams they are!
The anecdotal essays are not imagination. They come from real life events that will stimulate the imagination of the reader. Perhaps similar events in the reader's life will be recalled.
Some of the poems were generated by real life events of the author, while some are pure imagination. The reader may be moved to try and guess which is which.
The miscellaneous section merely contains food for thought in which the imagination will be tickled ~ or tricked.
