Over the next eighty days, immediately upon waking, he wrote down his dreams, following the instructions in \u003ci\u003eAn Experiment with Time\u003c\/i\u003e by British philosopher John Dunne. The purpose was to test the theory that time may go in reverse, so that a later event may generate an earlier dream. The result--published here for the first time--is a fascinating diary in which Nabokov recorded sixty-four dreams (and subsequent daytime episodes) on 118 index cards, providing a rare glimpse of the artist at his most private. \u003ci\u003eInsomniac Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e presents the text of Nabokov's dream experiment, illustrated with a selection of his original index cards, and provides rich annotations and analysis that put them in the context of his life and writings.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Insomniac Dreams | Vladimir Nabokov | Paperback | 9780691196909 | New | Letters \u0026 Diaries 1716233","offer_id":50863141748994,"sku":"1716233","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71XDiK1jY5L.jpg?v=1792854524","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/insomniac-dreams","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
