Caravan of Dreams (1968)

from The Idries Shah Foundation:


Caravan of Dreams


Idries_Shah_e-books1 (Custom)Caravan of Dreams distills the essence of Eastern thought in a feast of stories, sayings, poems and allegories, collected by one of the world’s leading experts in Oriental philosophy. Idries Shah builds up a complete picture of a single consciousness, relating 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.’
