Abstract

This paper presents a review of the book The Pandemic of Dreams: An Oneiric Archive of COVID-19. Drawing on Charlotte Beradt’s The Third Reich of Dreams as a methodological reference, the authors undertake the task of compiling a dream archive based on dream narratives collected between March and October of 2020. Throughout the book, one can appreciate how the dream world provided the material to approach and reflect upon the reality of the pandemic world, at a time when its dislocated nature resisted being grasped through our usual categories or methods.
