I suppose it is submerged realities that give to dreams their curious air of hyper-reality. But perhaps there is something else as well, something nebulous, gauze-like, through which everything one sees in a dream seems, paradoxically, much clearer.

What manner of theater is it, in which we are at once playwright, actor, stage manager, scene painter and audience?
