| Summary | "The Dream-God, or, A Singular Evolvement of Thought in Sleep" by John Cuningham is a unique narrative that falls within the realm of fantastical literature, written during the early 1870s. The book explores profound themes through the lens of a dream experience, presenting a blend of philosophical and metaphysical inquiries focused on the nature of existence, consciousness, and governance. It is likely inspired by the Romantic movement's fascination with the human mind and its potential. In the story, a South Carolinian man, recovering from extensive burns and under the influence of morphine, embarks on an extraordinary dream journey initiated by an immortal being representing the Spirit of Morphine. This celestial guide takes him on an aerial voyage over various geographic and metaphysical realms. Throughout his dream, he encounters notable historical figures and explores themes of power, governance, race, and spirituality, ultimately leading to contemplations about human nature and the divine. The narrative is rich with imagery and philosophical dialogue, spanning various cultures and thoughts, culminating in a reaffirmation of love and goodness transcending earthly experiences.
