The Librarian’s Lucid Dream<\/strong><\/em>

Wallpaper<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Books have lost their titles, and the titles have gone astray, create dalliances with each others\u2019 words. The Librarian’s Lucid Dream<\/em> is a wallpaper carnival of impossible books made up of the index card entries for an imaginary library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In each instance, the uncanny, nagging sensation that says \u2018this must be unreal\u2019 in the face of a dream – even the one that takes place in the foggiest of minds – constitutes the ongoing conspiracy between the need to doubt and the urge to stay real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
