› Find signed collectible books: '10,000 Dreams Interpreted: A Dictionary of Dreams'Book summary:Gustavus Hindman Millers groundbreaking masterwork, published nearly a century ago, remains the most compelling and thorough study of all the symbols that appear in our dreamscape. Updated, beautifully designed, and wonderfully easy to follow, its an invaluable source of information, and key to understanding the unconscious impulses that guide us. Miller offers an enlightening introduction to dreams in history, dream types (spiritual, mixed, and allegorical), and to prescient dreams that provide a privileged glimpse into the future. The visual symbols themselves, accompanied by an array of splendid color drawings, photographs, and boxed sidebars, are divided into elegantly logical categories, from the animal kingdom to rocks and minerals, body and soul to birth and death, food and drink to clothes and jewelry. Everything is extensively cross-referenced, making it easy to look up the thousands of dream elements and solve the mysteries buried deep in the unconscious.[via]More editions of 10,000 Dreams Interpreted: A Dictionary of Dreams:

Hardcover, DC Comics
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Absolute Sandman'Book summary:THE SANDMAN, written by New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman, was the most acclaimed comic book title of the 1990s. A rich blend of modern myth and dark fantasy in which contemporary fiction, historical drama and legend are seamlessly interwoven, THE SANDMAN is also widely considered one of the most original and artistically ambitious series of the modern age. By the time it concluded in 1996, it had made significant contributions to the artistic maturity of comic books and become a pop culture phenomenon in its own right.
Now, DC Comics is proud to present this comics classic in an all-new Absolute Edition format. The first of four beautifully designed slipcased volumes, THE ABSOLUTE SANDMAN VOL. 1 collects issues 1-20 of The Sandman and features completely new coloring, approved by the author, on the first 18 issues, as well as a host of never-before-seen extra material, including the complete original Sandman Proposal, a gallery of character designs from Gaiman and the artists who originated the look of the Sandman, and the original script to the World Fantasy Award-winning THE SANDMAN #19, "A Midsummer Nights Dream," together with reproductions of the issues original pencils by Charles Vess.

The Alchemist/a Fable About Following Your Dreamby Paulo Coelho, Alan R. ClarkeISBN 0062502174 (0-06-250217-4)
Hardcover, Harpercollins
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Alchemist/a Fable About Following Your Dream'Book summary:Like the one-time bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, The Alchemist presents a simple fable, based on simple truths and places it in a highly unique situation. And though we may sniff a bestselling formula, it is certainly not a new one: even the ancient tribal storytellers knew that this is the most successful method of entertaining an audience while slipping in a lesson or two. Brazilian storyteller Paulo Coehlo introduces Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who one night dreams of a distant treasure in the Egyptian pyramids. And so he's off: leaving Spain to literally follow his dream.
Along the way he meets many spiritual messengers, who come in unassuming forms such as a camel driver and a well-read Englishman. In one of the Englishman's books, Santiago first learns about the alchemists--men who believed that if a metal were heated for many years, it would free itself of all its individual properties, and what was left would be the "Soul of the World." Of course he does eventually meet an alchemist, and the ensuing student-teacher relationship clarifies much of the boy's misguided agenda, while also emboldening him to stay true to his dreams. "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy confides to the alchemist one night as they look up at a moonless night.
"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself," the alchemist replies. "And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity." --Gail Hudson [via]

Einstein's Dreamsby Alan LightmanISBN 140007780X (1-4000-7780-X)
Softcover, Random House Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Einstein's Dreams'Book summary:If you liked the eerie whimsy of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, Steven Millhauser's Little Kingdoms, or Jorge Luis Borges's Labyrinths, you will love Alan Lightman's ethereal yet down-to-earth book Einstein's Dreams. Lightman teaches physics and writing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, helping bridge the light-year-size gap between science and the humanities, the enemy camps C.P. Snow famously called The Two Cultures.
Einstein's Dreams became a bestseller by delighting both scientists and humanists. It is technically a novel. Lightman uses simple, lyrical, and literal details to locate Einstein precisely in a place and time--Berne, Switzerland, spring 1905, when he was a patent clerk privately working on his bizarre, unheard-of theory of relativity. The town he perceives is vividly described, but the waking Einstein is a bit player in this drama.
The book takes flight when Einstein takes to his bed and we share his dreams, 30 little fables about places where time behaves quite differently. In one world, time is circular; in another a man is occasionally plucked from the present and deposited in the past: "He is agonized. For if he makes the slightest alteration in anything, he may destroy the future ... he is forced to witness events without being part of them ... an inert gas, a ghost ... an exile of time." The dreams in which time flows backward are far more sophisticated than the time-tripping scenes in Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, though science-fiction fans may yearn for a sustained yarn, which Lightman declines to provide. His purpose is simply to study the different kinds of time in Einstein's mind, each with its own lucid consequences. In their tone and quiet logic, Lightman's fables come off like Bach variations played on an exquisite harpsichord. People live for one day or eternity, and they respond intelligibly to each unique set of circumstances. Raindrops hang in the air in a place of frozen time; in another place everyone knows one year in advance exactly when the world will end, and acts accordingly.
"Consider a world in which cause and effect are erratic," writes Lightman. "Scientists turn reckless and mutter like gamblers who cannot stop betting.... In this world, artists are joyous." In another dream, time slows with altitude, causing rich folks to build stilt homes on mountaintops, seeking eternal youth and scorning the swiftly aging poor folk below. Forgetting eventually how they got there and why they subsist on "all but the most gossamer food," the higher-ups at length "become thin like the air, bony, old before their time."
There is no plot in this small volume--it's more like a poetry collection than a novel. Like Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time, it's a mind-stretching meditation by a scientist who's been to the far edge of physics and is back with wilder tales than Marco Polo's. And unlike many admirers of Hawking, readers of Einstein's Dreams have a high probability of actually finishing it. [via]

Freuds Interpretation of Dreamsby A. BrillISBN 0140137947 (0-14-013794-7)
Softcover, Penguin USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Freuds Interpretation of Dreams'Book summary:Whether we love or hate Sigmund Freud, we all have to admit that he revolutionized the way we think about ourselves. Much of this revolution can be traced to The Interpretation of Dreams, the turn-of-the-century tour de force that outlined his theory of unconscious forces in the context of dream analysis. Introducing the id, the superego, and their problem child, the ego, Freud advanced scientific understanding of the mind immeasurably by exposing motivations normally invisible to our consciousness. While there's no question that his own biases and neuroses influenced his observations, the details are less important than the paradigm shift as a whole. After Freud, our interior lives became richer and vastly more mysterious.
These mysteries clearly bothered him--he went to great (often absurd) lengths to explain dream imagery in terms of childhood sexual trauma, a component of his theory jettisoned mid-century, though now popular among recovered-memory therapists. His dispassionate analyses of his own dreams are excellent studies for cognitive scientists wishing to learn how to sacrifice their vanities for the cause of learning. Freud said of the work contained in The Interpretation of Dreams, "Insight such as this falls to one's lot but once in a lifetime." One would have to feel quite fortunate to shake the world even once. --Rob Lightner [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Game of You'Book summary:You may have heard somewhere that Neil Gaiman's Sandman series consisted of cool, hip, edgy, smart comic books. And you may have thought, "What the hell does that mean?" Enter A Game of You to confound the issue even more, while at the same time standing as a fine example of such a description. This is not an easy book. The characters are dense and unique, while their observations are, as always with Gaiman, refreshingly familiar. Then there's the plot, which grinds along like a coffee mill, in the process breaking down the two worlds of this series, that of the dream and that of the dreamer. Gaiman pushes these worlds to their very extremes--one is a fantasy world with talking animals, a missing princess, and a mysterious villain called the Cuckoo; the other is an urban microcosm inhabited by a drag queen, a punk lesbian couple, and a New York doll named Barbie. In almost every way this book sits at 180 degrees from the earlier four volumes of the Sandman series--although the less it seems to belong to the series, the more it shows its heart. --Jim Pascoe [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Lathe of Heaven'Book summary:Ursula K. Le Guin is one of science fiction's greatest writers. She is also an acclaimed author of powerful and perceptive nonfiction, fantasy, and literary fiction. She has received many honors, including six Nebula and five Hugo Awards, the National Book Award, the Pushcart Prize, the Newbery, the Pilgrim, the Tiptree, and citations by the American Library Association. She has written over a dozen highly regarded novels and story collections. Her SF masterworks are The Left Hand of Darkness (1969), The Dispossessed (1974), and The Lathe of Heaven (1971).
George Orr has dreams that come true--dreams that change reality. He dreams that the aunt who is sexually harassing him is killed in a car crash, and wakes to find that she died in a wreck six weeks ago, in another part of the country. But a far darker dream drives George into the care of a psychotherapist--a dream researcher who doesn't share George's ambivalence about altering reality.
The Lathe of Heaven is set in the sort of worlds that one would associate with Philip K. Dick, but Ms. Le Guin's treatment of the material, her plot and characterization and concerns, are more akin to the humanistic, ethically engaged, psychologically nuanced fiction of Theodore Sturgeon. The Lathe of Heaven is an insightful and chilling examination of total power, of war and injustice and other age-old problems, of changing the world, of playing God. --Cynthia Ward [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Oeuvres Completes: Psychanalyse'Book summary:L'Interprétation du rêve (1900), enfin ! Il aura fallu plus d'un siècle pour que le public français puisse lire, dans une traduction sérieuse, l'ouvrage fondateur qui fit du rêve le hiéroglyphe des temps modernes. La clef freudienne des songes n'est plus celle de l'oniromancie : elle n'ouvre pas les portes de l'avenir mais entrouvre celle des configurations actuelles du désir inconscient. S'il eut été Joseph, Freud eut appris à Pharaon autre chose que les futures plaies d'Égypte.
L'élaboration de L'Interprétation du rêve fut solitaire, longue et pénible. Son enjeu, dans le parcours freudien, est décisif : faire la jonction entre les premiers travaux de psychopathologie consacrés aux névroses (Ruvres complètes : tome II ou Premières théories des névroses) et la psychologie de l'homme normal. Mais aussi, de façon plus discrète, révéler pour la première fois à l'humanité que l'histoire d'Rdipe n'est pas étrangère à ses rêves les plus secrets. Du symptôme au rêve, la voie est droite, "royale", vers la théorie de l'inconscient (chapitre VII). Freud fut déçu par l'accueil plutôt froid réservé à sa première grande Suvre. On est loin du beau scandale que déclenchera cinq années plus tard les Trois Essais sur la théorie sexuelle. Les développements de 1900 sont limpides mais denses ; leur langue est belle ce qui n'empêche pas la pensée qui les guide d'être rigoureuse, donc exigeante. L'importance des analyses métapsychologiques du dernier chapitre n'a d'abord été comprise, en Allemagne, que par très peu de lecteurs. En France, les négligences de la traduction de Meyerson (1926) n'ont pas simplifié la lecture de ce texte canonique. Félicitons-nous de pouvoir, grâce au travail scientifique de l'équipe des Presses Universitaires, lire L'Interprétation du rêve avec la fraîcheur d'une première fois. N'y voyons pas le réveil d'une momie mais bien plutôt un accès, enfin dégagé, aux profondeurs de la pyramide de l'âme humaine.
Freud rédigea, sous la pression de son éditeur, une présentation abrégée, très sommaire, de sa théorie du rêve : Sur le rêve (1901). --Emilio Balturi [via]More editions of Oeuvres Completes: Psychanalyse:

Sandman 3: Dream Countryby Neil GaimanISBN 141768612X (1-4176-8612-X)
Hardcover, Bt Bound
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Sandman 3: Dream Country'Book summary:The third book of the Sandman collection is a series of four short comic book stories. What's remarkable here (considering the publisher and the time that this was originally published) is that the main character of the book--the Sandman, King of Dreams--serves only as a minor character in each of these otherwise unrelated stories. (Actually, he's not even in the last story.) This signaled a couple of important things in the development of what is considered one of the great comics of the second half of the century. First, it marked a distinct move away from the horror genre and into a more fantasy-rich, classical mythology-laden environment. And secondly, it solidly cemented Neil Gaiman as a storyteller. One of the stories here, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," took home the World Fantasy Award for best short story--the first time a comic was given that honor. But for my money, another story in Dream Country has it beat hands down. "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" has such hope, beauty, and good old-fashioned chills that rereading it becomes a welcome pleasure. --Jim Pascoe [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Sandman 4: Season of Mists'Book summary:In many ways, Season of Mists is the pinnacle of the Sandman experience. After a brief intermission of four short stories (collected as Dream Country) Gaiman continued the story of the Dream King that he began in the first two volumes. Here in volume 4, we find out about the rest of Dream's Endless family (Desire, Despair, Destiny, Delirium, Death, and a seventh missing sibling). We find out the story behind Nada, Dream's first love, whom we met only in passing during Dream's visit to hell in the first book. When Dream goes back to hell to resolve unfinished business with Nada, he finds her missing along with all of the other dead souls. The answer to this mystery lies in Lucifer's most uncharacteristic decision--a delicious surprise.
There is something grandiose about this story, in which each chapter ends with such suspense and drive to read the next. This book is best summed up by a toast taken from the second chapter: "To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due." --Jim Pascoe [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Sandman 5: A Game of You'Book summary:You may have heard somewhere that Neil Gaiman's Sandman series consisted of cool, hip, edgy, smart comic books. And you may have thought, "What the hell does that mean?" Enter A Game of You to confound the issue even more, while at the same time standing as a fine example of such a description. This is not an easy book. The characters are dense and unique, while their observations are, as always with Gaiman, refreshingly familiar. Then there's the plot, which grinds along like a coffee mill, in the process breaking down the two worlds of this series, that of the dream and that of the dreamer. Gaiman pushes these worlds to their very extremes--one is a fantasy world with talking animals, a missing princess, and a mysterious villain called the Cuckoo; the other is an urban microcosm inhabited by a drag queen, a punk lesbian couple, and a New York doll named Barbie. In almost every way this book sits at 180 degrees from the earlier four volumes of the Sandman series--although the less it seems to belong to the series, the more it shows its heart. --Jim Pascoe [via]

Hardcover, Bt Bound
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Sandman 8: World's End'Book summary:When Brant and Charlene wreck their car in a horrible snowstorm in the middle of nowhere, the only place they can find shelter is a mysterious little inn called World's End. Here they wait out the storm and listen to stories from the many travelers also stuck at this tavern. These tales exemplify Neil Gaiman's gift for storytelling--and his love for the very telling of them. This volume has almost nothing to do with the larger story of the Sandman, except for a brief foreshadowing nod. It's a nice companion to the best Sandman short story collection, Dream Country, (and it's much better than the hodgepodge Fables and Reflections). World's End works best as a collection--it's a story about a story about stories--all wrapped up in a structure that's clever without being cute, and which features an ending nothing short of spectacular. --Jim Pascoe [via]

The Sandman : Dream Countryby Neil Gaiman, Michael Hill, Kelley Jones, Charles Vess, Colleen DoranISBN 156389016X (1-56389-016-X)
Softcover, DC Comics
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Sandman : Dream Country'Book summary:The third book of the Sandman collection is a series of four short comic book stories. What's remarkable here (considering the publisher and the time that this was originally published) is that the main character of the book--the Sandman, King of Dreams--serves only as a minor character in each of these otherwise unrelated stories. (Actually, he's not even in the last story.) This signaled a couple of important things in the development of what is considered one of the great comics of the second half of the century. First, it marked a distinct move away from the horror genre and into a more fantasy-rich, classical mythology-laden environment. And secondly, it solidly cemented Neil Gaiman as a storyteller. One of the stories here, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," took home the World Fantasy Award for best short story--the first time a comic was given that honor. But for my money, another story in Dream Country has it beat hands down. "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" has such hope, beauty, and good old-fashioned chills that rereading it becomes a welcome pleasure. --Jim Pascoe [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'La Interpretacion De Los Suenos'Book summary:Ninguna teoria acerca del funcionamiento y estructura de la mente ha ejercido tanta influencia ni ha adquirido un estatus tan preponderante como la doctrina psicoanalitica, cuyas categorias y explicaciones no tardaron en convertirse en nucleo de un modo radicalmente nuevo de entender la realidad psiquica que ha marcado de forma notable el siglo xx. Dividida en tres volumenes en la presente edicion, LA INTERPRETACIoN DE LOS SUEnOS desempeno un papel decisivo dentro de ese enorme esfuerzo de subversion de valores y de innovacion teorica. Escrita entre 1895 y 1899, es la primera obra en que Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) esbozo con rigor y claridad las lineas generales de sus hipotesis y sus metodos. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'L'effet Pervers: Le Naufrage Des Democraties'Book summary:253pages. 13,1cm x 20,6cm x 2,1cm. Broché. L'Alchimiste est le récit d'une quête, celle de Santiago, un jeune berger andalou parti à la recherche d'un trésor enfoui au pied des Pyramides. Dans le désert, initié par l'Alchimiste, il apprendra à écouter son coeur, à lire les signes du destin et, par-dessus tout, à aller au bout de son rêve. Destiné à l'enfant que chaque être cache en soi, L'Alchimiste est un merveilleux conte philosophique, que l'on compare souvent au Petit Prince, de Saint-Exupéry, et à Jonathan Livingston le Goéland, de Richard Bach. Le levant s'était mis à souffler. Il amenait les Maures sans doute, mais il apportait aussi l'odeur du désert. Il apportait la sueur et les songes des hommes qui étaient partis en quête de l'Inconnu, en quête d'or, d'aventures, et de pyramides. Alors le jeune berger andalou se prit à envier la liberté du vent et comprit qu'il pourrait, comme lui, traverser les pays et trouver sa Légende personnelle. Destiné à l'enfant que chaque être cache en lui, L'Alchimiste est un merveilleux conte philosophique qui nous guide sur la voie d'un trésor oublié. Et des terres noires andalouses aux mystères de l'Egypte, déchiffrant les augures du ciel, le lecteur trouvera lui aussi le secret de l'Alchimie. [via]
