Parabola's Summer 1982 issue: Dreams and Seeing The dream world is the greatest of all mysteries, the very home of mystery: that shadow land between where we are and where something in us came from, east of the sun, west of the moon, out of which come voices of poetry and myth, voices with messages.... Who sends these messages--angel, demon, or clown? What are the sources of our sleeping and waking dreams? Why are their messages so different, some so confused and some so clear? It has been the business of the seeker, of the would-be hero and the warrior, from the very beginnings of myth and fairy tale, not to be fooled. But the difficulty is that truth and falsehood, delusion and revelation, are always mixed for us--like our sleep and waking. --from the editorial Focus Cover: "Adam and Eve Sleeping" by William Blake From Paradise Lost, c. 1808 Museum of Fine Arts, Boston In this issue:
