Alexander Issaris began in April 1981 to record the events of every day and every night in a 100-page booklet. When a few months ago he decided to publish a book about his dreams, he found that eighty-five dreams were recorded, which became forty-seven after a very tough selection. This was called the Book of Dreams to reminiscence Andrei Tarkovsky’s Martyrolog.
