Caravan of Dreams

Caravan of Dreams distills the essence of Eastern thought in a feast of Sufi stories, sayings, poems and allegories, collected by one of the world’s leading experts in Oriental philosophy and Sufism. Idries Shah builds up a complete picture of a single consciousness, relating Eastern mythology to reality, illuminating historical patterns, and presenting philosophical legends in this unique anthology.Its title is inspired from the couplet written by the Sufi mystic Bahaudin:‘Here we are, all of us: in a dream-caravan,A caravan, but a dream – a dream, but a caravan.And we know which are the dreams.Therein lies the hope.’
