The dream is universal, but what it means, what it does, and what is could do for us in the West this visionary company of scholars came to debate. Experts from neurophysiology to comparative religion and anthropology, including stars like Mircea Eliade, Henri Corbin, and Weston LaBarre, were sponsored by UCLA's Near Eastern Center and gathered at the Abbaye de Royaumont near Paris to present their findings, which this collection commemorates. Editors G.E. von Grunebaum and Roger Caillois are also contributors. 
 
"There is nothing that is too absurd, too miraculous, or too contradictory of which one may not dream, and it is impossible that any more than the very smallest portion of these marvels could ever be realized. The interpreter must therefore reduce their infinite multitude to the small number of events that are almost certain to occur to everyone in the course of his brief life: a meeting, an illness, a loss or a gain, success or failure, riches or ruin, a voyage, falling in love. and inevitable par excellence - death."
