Send Jesse Reklaw a description of one of your dreams, and he just might make it come to life . . . in comic form. This book collects the first few years of these 4 panel drawings of dreams. Jesse Reklaw manages to magically convey the essence of his collaborators' dreams. Some are disturbing; some are very funny;, all have the twisted logic and unsettling creativity of authentic dreams. Reading them is not only a pleasure, but oddly reassuring: It's nice to know that other people have dreams just as, if not more, bizarre as mine.

The giant-chicken building gracing the cover, the bacon on the communion plate, and the class taught by death are just a few highlights from the sleeping landscapes; all breaking down our barriers between "normal" reality and our dream creations. Peppered with quotes from luminaries like Marcel Proust, the book also has a few pages of dream information resources appended. Dreamtoons draws its readers into other peoples' minds and keeps them there just long enough.
