Book of Dreams

Book of Dreams is Jack Kerouac's record of his dream life, a parallel autobiography of the soul, the sleeper's On the Road:
"I got my weary bones out of bed & through eyes swollen with sleep swiftly scribbled in pencil in my little dream notebook till I had exhausted every rememberable item … "
Awake of asleep, Jack's mind spun the web of relationships that were the substance of almost everything he wrote:
"In the book of dreams I just continue the same story but in the dreams I had of the real-life characters I always write about."
