Thanks for reading Arun. I enjoyed your review also. I think you are on to something, by looking at the interplay between dream and reality.

I would say ‘reality’ is where one is now; whereas ‘dream’ is just a name for a different world, that now feels vague and half-remembered in relation to our current circumstances.

The ‘dreamworld’ like all worlds, though, appears ‘real’ when immersed in it.

In Murakami’s work, the other, magical-seeming, world that encroaches and seeps into our world, has a bit of the taste of our own dream-world; the one we sail off to each night, But really it is on the opposite side of reality.

In fact, it is the place where our reality springs from.

It is really dreaming us!

The world of archetypal powers projected onto our three dimensional canvas.
